AllerEase Bed Bug Mattress Cover, 1 Each

This product is not washer dryer friendly. The care instructions said it can be washed and dried in machine but after first wash it came out all stuck together. When I tried to pull it apart it ripped and made tiny holes in the fabric rendering it useless against bed bugs. Waste of money

We found 1 bed bug on our comforter and that day I immediately went to Walmart and bought the queen size cover for our mattress. I read the reviews saying that it ripped easily, so I made sure to have my husband help me put it on the bed and we were very careful, and did not experience any problems. My mother-in-law purchased an extra one to cover our boxspring too, and we have had no more bed bug evidence since covering the mattress and boxspring. My mother-in-law bought mattress & box spring covers for her room at Bed, Bath & Beyond, and I felt like the ones she bought for her room were better quality, but it was about $70 for the mattress cover & $80 for the boxspring cover. I think if you have the $$ to spend on the nicer ones, than go with the nicer ones, but if you don't have the $$ then I think this would be sufficient. Just be careful when you're putting it on and taking it out of the box and I think you'll be fine. My mother-in-law also bought the pillow protectors for all our rooms, and even bought twin size ones for my kids room, and they've worked out fine. They are a little bigger than the mattress but I think that is to make taking it on and off easier, I don't find it uncomfortable at all.

I purchased this Mattress Protector for a Queen size 14" thick Mattress. The purpose was to reduce any Allergies & Dust Mites. I have to say that I am pleased with this Product. It is a bit tricky to get on, but with two people it took less than five minutes. We started at the Top of the bed one person on either side at the Corner. Each person than proceeded to place "their" corner inside the Mattress Protector. Then you simply lift and slide the Protector as if putting on a Sock. I feel it was worth the price. I cannot comment on the "Bed Bug" aspect of this product as I do not have Bed Bugs. But given the thickness of the product I would say it may do the Job with Bugs.

I purchased a similar product from a pest company and I paid double per item. When my wife told me the price at Walmart I said buy it cause it was a steal. I was a bit aprehensive due to the fact we are currently in major infestation mode and it is critical that these work without rips. I have a double pillow top bed and the critters are everywhere. I put this on the Queen myself and that mattress was heavy. My 5 year old was steady talking at me during the entire process. I am not going to be critical of other people in this review but at this price and for the peace of mind of not being bit at night, I would buy two at this price. Thanks. Oh I also did two twins and all the pillow with the protectors. No rips or tears, good quality and yes - I did measure the mattresses before buying the products.

I moved to a new city for 4 months, not long enough to spend the time and money finding something worth staying in. I ended up getting an unfurnished apartment and bought a used futon. I bought this cover and put it on as soon as I got the futon. I didn't expect the futon to have anything wrong with it but I would rather be safe than sorry. Well it turned out that the futon was pretty bad and the cover did not live up to what it claims to do. No matter what I spent on it I spent infinitely more than I should because if a product can not do what it's meant than it is worth nothing. Very disappointed.
