This product feels hot at night when you sleep on it, its not very good quality, does not launder well and ripped in the corner after 1 washing.

Note that the positive reviews for this product were posted on the same day by reviewers who only reviewed other products by the same manufacturer. Clearly they are "astro-turfing" -- phony reviews organized by the manufacturer. Any product that requires bogus reviews to encourage sales should be avoided.

I've had other dust mite barrier covers before but this one is quite hard and crinkly and very noticeable under the sheets. My poor husband actually said he feels like he's laying in a hospital bed... I assume it is keeping out the bacteria etc., but it's not pleasant to sleep on!

I followed the washing instructions and the plastic melted into itself so that it was not functional. I called the company and they played phone tag with me for a few days. They said I could pay to send it to them and they would consider replacing it. I don't want it if it can't be washed! We never got to use it, so honestly I can't tell you if it's good or not. But who wants bedding that is not washable?

Unfortunately, after dealing with bed bugs twice in seven months, the very last thing I needed was a piece of crap product that broke the second I unfolded the bed bug allergy protector. I had to improvise and use duct tape to fix this faulty product. Don't waste your $40.

This allergen mattress cover is a tight fit for most of today's deep mattresses but that can be a good thing. It was difficult to get on the mattress but I was able to do so. The problem was that once I got it on I tried to zip up the last part and the zipper broke on the first try. I had just spent a lot of energy getting it on the mattress and I didn't want to go through that again so I just duct taped it up at the broken zipper end. Not a great solution but I am hoping that dust mites cannot get through duct tape. In retrospect I wish I had spent a few more dollars and got one that would have held up better. I emailed the company about the problem and they emailed me back that they would let the manufacturer know but they did not offer any compensation to me. I guess I could have taken it off and mailed it back so I should not be surprised.

Launder instructions read: machine wash warm, tumble dry low. But, after one washing, the plastic liner totally melted and it's unusable. Works great if you don't care about washing it in the machine -- would have to be hand washed and air dryed.

Even before I began putting it on the mattress, I found a tear in it. The fabric was so flimsy, it tore along the zipper as I began slipping it on! This gets returned tomorrow for a refund, and I won't be buying Aller-Ease's products again.

Great, great product! I purchased a complete set (pillow, pillow protector and mattress protector) and have found that my step daughter's allergies and asthma symptoms have significantly improved. The mattress protector seems to be blocking all of the household allergens that trigger her attacks -- and she is not coughing and sneezing like she was before. What a relief for her and me!

After just one night, I have noticed a big improvement. No more coughing during the night or sneezing in the morning. At my doctor's recommendation, I bought the Allerease pillow, pillow protector and mattress protector. I never knew so many allergens were living in my mattress and pillows. These products are lifesavers!
