Keith's Pro Tips

It is very important that you do not remove or open your mattress and/or boxspring encasements if you suspect you have bed bugs trapped within the encasements for at least a year. Bed bugs can actually live up to an entire year without a meal, so be sure that encasement stays locked and sealed.

The Best Bed Bug Mattress & Box Spring Covers

A bed bug cover is an encasement for your mattress, box spring, or other furniture such as a sofa. When installed properly, a bed bug cover protects the hard-to-reach seams and interiors of your mattress or couch by creating an impassable barrier against bed bugs. This removes a significant area of bed bug harborage. Any bed bugs that are inside the object being covered will be entombed upon installation and will eventually die out. Any new infestations will be easy to spot on the smooth surface of the cover and won’t be able to hide deeper in your furniture where they would be much harder to rout out and kill. 

In order to be effective, a bed bug cover must completely cover the box spring or mattress and must not be ripped or torn in any way. When installing, be careful around any sharp edges or protrusions that may cause a tear in the cover. If you are unable to find the information you need below, please contact us, we’re here to help.

Recommendation

At Solutions Pest & Lawn, we recommend the Clean Rest Pro Mattress Bed Bug Cover for mattresses and the CleanRest Pro Boxspring Encasement for box springs. Clean Rest is a trusted brand with strong warranty protections of 15 years for the mattress cover and 5 years for the box spring encasement. Unlike other brands, Clean Rest encasements are soft and barely noticeable under sheets and covers. They maintain high quality, escape-proof coverage without any sacrifice to comfort.

Installation Guide

Step 1: Remove Bedding and Set Aside

Remove any and all bedding, covers, pillows, etc from the mattress, leaving it completely bare.

Step 2: Unbox the Cover

Carefully remove the bed bug cover from its package and roll it out to its full size and unzip it on all three sides.

Step 3: Cover the Mattress or Box Spring

Lean the mattress or box spring up against a wall. If it is very large, you may need an extra pair of hands to move it around safely. Then, wrap the short, un-zippered side of the cover over the top of the standing mattress, so that both faces are partially covered with the encasement. Zip the cover closed as much as possible and then gently lay the mattress or box spring back onto the frame and finish zipping up the cover once it is in place. Lastly, flip the zipper tab and lock the tab in place inside the zipper housing. This last step is critical because bed bugs will use any opening in the cover they can find.

Inspection and Maintenance

Once installed the bed bug cover should be considered the new surface exterior of your mattress and should never be removed. To prevent damage or staining, use a mattress pad or fitted sheet as you would on an uncovered mattress.

About once per year, make a thorough visual inspection of your bed bug covers to ensure there are no rips or tears. Remember, the key to bed bug covers working properly is that they provide a total barrier, forcing any bed bugs that arrive in your home to stay on the surface where they can be easily seen and dealt with.

Key Takeaways

  • Bed bug covers can be considered an “install and forget” product. Once installed they will work until they are damaged or removed. A quick visual inspection once per year to ensure they remain undamaged is all that is necessary to get the full value from the product.
  • Bed bug covers don’t prevent bed bugs, nor are they sufficient on their own as a bed bug control plan. They instead make dealing with new infestations much easier by limiting areas of harborage for bed bugs.
