Material: 100% Polyester Remove all bedding from mattress including blankets, sheets, existing mattress protectors, etc. Wash bedding on a hot wash cycle and dry in dryer. Be careful when handling bedding not to spread bed bugs into others rooms Begin enclosing mattress in the bed bug protector from the head end of the mattress so you end up with the zip at the foot end. Continue enclosing mattress protector gradually along the length of the mattress. Ensure bed bug protector is fitted to mattress with only zip area exposed at the foot end. Start closing the zip. To avoid malfunction or breakage, make sure you zip slowly and carefully pulling the two sides together. Zip all the way around the mattress until fully closed. Make sure the zip is fastened using the Buglock secure seal. This will ensure the zip does not slide open allowing potential bed bug exit and entry. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS What is a bed bug mattress protector and how does it differ from a standard mattress protector? Not just a mattress topper, these bed bug mattress protectors are full encasements that completely enclose the entire mattress and zip closed. The majority of mattress protectors only cover and protect the sleeping surface of a mattress. As a result the bottom of the mattress is completely exposed and allows bed bugs to wander in and out with ease. The mattress needs to be fully encased to trap any bed bugs infesting the mattress inside and prevent them from escaping and biting the sleeper. These mattress protectors also prevent any future infestation of the mattress by removing potential harbourages. Why do I need a Bed Bug mattress protector? The mattress is one of the biggest ‘hotspots’ for bed bug harbourages in a bedroom. This is because it is the closest object to the host i.e the person sleeping on the mattress. Bed Bugs like to hide on mattresses in areas such as seams, piping, under labels, handles, buttons, etc. See image below showing Bed Bugs harbouring in the seams of a mattress. They are less likely to be found in open flat areas. By encasing the mattress you remove a number of different bed bug harbourages and avoid the need to use chemicals on the sleeping surface with one simple, easy to install product. What if I just throw out my old mattress and buy a new one? Yes, you can certainly throw out your existing bed bug infested mattress and replace it with a new one. However this is very costly and much more expensive than the cost of a mattress protector. Plus it is highly recommended that a mattress protector be installed to protect the new mattress anyway as bed bugs generally infest other areas around the bed such as headboard, bed base, flooring, bedside furniture, wall hangings, etc and will eventually infest the new mattress if they are not eradicated completely. Are these bed bug mattress protectors waterproof? No these are not waterproof. They are bed bug and dust mite proof. Should I treat the mattress with an insecticide before putting the mattress protector on? No it is not necessary to treat the mattress with an insecticide first. One of the biggest benefits of installing a bed bug mattress protector is to avoid the potentially unsafe use of chemicals on the sleeping surface. Any bed bugs infesting the mattress will be trapped inside and die off on their own accord over time as they cannot feed. You can then focus your insecticide treatment on other areas such as bed base / frame, flooring, bedside furniture, wall hangings, etc. Do I need a Bed Bug Base Protector as well? Yes, if you have an ensemble base then you should also purchase a base protector along with the mattress protector. The mattress and the base are the two most common areas where bed bugs hide. Having these two items encased will go a long way to solving your bed bug problem. However, if you have a slatted bed base you will not be able to encase this with a base protector. This type of base will require an insecticidal or other alternative treatment.
