Product Description

Protect either mattress or box spring. Bed bug and dust mite infestations are serious problems that can cause a variety of health concerns including asthma, eczema and allergies. Aller-Zip mattress and box spring encasements provide an effective barrier to infestation. Because treatments can't reach the core of an already infected mattress and box spring, they usually need to be disposed of - but no longer. Aller-Zip protects your mattress investment and most importantly, your health. Its cotton, terry-cloth fabric toplayer is soft and comfortable under your sheets. Guaranteed against leaks or tears for 10 years or the factory will replace at no cost. (Queen Size: 60x80 in., Fits bedding 7 to 12 in. High)

3.0 out of 5 stars Not too impressed, May 16, 2009

This review is from: AllerZip Waterproof Bed Bug Proof Zippered Bedding Encasement, Queen Size (Fits 7 - 12 in. H)

I thought for the $100+ price tag the material would be more durable and thick. I read online journals discouraging consumers from purchasing "cheap" mattress encasements because they tear easily and so on. I didn't think Allerzip, which was praised for its product dependability, would be categorized as "cheap." I did not wash it prior to encasing my mattress, and 2 weeks after carefully inspecting the encasement, I saw a tear on the corner. It must have happened when I was doing what people normally do on beds: lay, sleep, sit, and roll around a bit. So caution to others, it rips VERY easily, and I imagine washing it in a non-agitating washing machine is a definite must. As for trapping bed bugs inside, without any tears or rips, I think it will stand up to the job, but regular visual inspection is a must because bed bugs may still locate to the bed, at which time, spotting then removing them is more easily done.

I ordered this cover as, after I moved into a new home, condensation formed on the bottom of my mattress quickly ruining it. I bought a new bed (the old one was a captain's bed and was fully enclosed not allowing for air circulation) and a new mattress. After spending the money to do this I wanted additional protection and went looking for a mattress cover. It was difficult finding one that protected the entire mattress and not just the top side.

This cover is definitely waterproof on all six sides, it's comfortable, and it doesn't sound like I'm laying on plastic when I go to bed -- in fact it doesn't make any additional noise at all.

It took a little bit of work to get it on my mattress, but I was able to do it myself. As my mattress is still new I'm flipping it once a week -- while one side of the cover is made of terry cloth and is intended to be on the top of the bed -- I don't want to take the time to take the cover off and put it back on every week so I just sleep on whatever side ends up on the top and it doesn't seem to make much of a difference. It's nice to have the extra security to keep the mattress safe since it's not cheap or easy to replace.

Overall the cover is a great fit, can be put on by one person without too much work, keeps the mattress safe from moisture on all six sides, and doesn't feel or sound like your mattress is covered in plastic.

my husband and i had no idea why we were getting bitten at night. i thought spiders at first but quickly discovered we had bed bugs. i had no idea what to do and came across this option. i covered my mattress and box spring with the bedding encasement and have had no problems at all with any more bites. i highly recommend this bedding if you have a small infestation- it works 100%.
