SafeRestZippered Mattress Protector - Premium 9-12 Inch Waterproof Mattress Cover for Bed - Breathable, Noiseless Washable Mattress Encasement - Twin XL

Just replaced my Cal King Waterbed mattress with a special order regular Cal King Mattress for waterbed insert. I wanted to protect the entire mattress because it was sitting on plywood where waterbed mattress used to sit. I decided to keep the waterbed liner to protect the SafeRest mattress encasement which protects the mattress.So far I have slept on it 4 nights...just got my new mattress 4 days ago. I washed and dried the SafeRest Waterproof mattress encasement per instructions provided and it washed and dried beautifully! I placed the encasement on my Cal King mattress and the fit was absolutely perfect...this encasement fits 9"-12" mattress height and mine is 12" this includes the pillowtop. The encasement is not tight nor is it loose where you have extra material. It is a comfortable fit for the mattress.The materials used for this product are extremely nice. The surface material is quiet, soft and it breathes. The micro-zipper is wonderful and at the end covered by velcro. The encasement was very easy to put on and around the mattress considering my mattress sits inside a 9" high frame. For anyone with a regular bed this will be a snap to put on mattress. So far I have not spilled anything, my pets have behaved...lol and I am very happy with this product.I actually feel extremely safe, comfortable and have peace of mind having this particular SafeRest encasement on my mattress. It does come with a 10 year warranty, is machine washable, comfortable to sleep on and is noiseless. I searched through many products before I came across this particular one and I couldn't have chosen better. I highly recommend this SafeRest Waterproof Lab Certified Bed Bug Proof Zippered Mattress Encasement in any size for anyone who wants peace of mind and a solid product.If anyone were to ask me for a recommendation on an encasement this one gets 5 stars.

It actually is exactly what I was looking for and surprisingly exceeded my expectations on some of its claims...It definitely prevents anything that you wouldn't want touching your mattress from touching your mattress. I never post ratings until I put any product to good use. I honestly can say that this review comes from plenty of experience that involves a female Pomeranian puppy that my girlfriend and I just brought into our home.It also has a soft top layer which makes it unnoticeable both by touch and sound. This was a must and I had lowered my expectations to try to not be disappointed but I was gratefully impressed. I have even forgotten it was on there and only am reminded when cleaning the bed sheets.*Ease of installation note*One thing that people may not think about but was definitely a pleasant thing about this mattress cover was the ease at which it was installed. It honestly took me over an hour. I have a queen size mattress and it fits tightly in its bed-frame. I am a neat freak (and was going solo) and didn't want to pull out the mattress and let it touch the GROUND to help put the cover on. Needless to say it was terrible but looking back it went better than I should have expected. The cover (on the sides and bottom) is made out of a silky and very smooth material which I should be grateful made it a 1 hour task instead of a 5 hour task. It slid nicely between the box frame and my mattress and did not snag on the sides of the mattress either when pulling it tight or closed.Last thing...the zipper is sturdy and good quality too which makes me feel a little bit better about things being kept away from the mattress. It also has a zipper cover to hide the clasp which makes it just that more discrete (unnoticeable) that you have a pretty extreme quality cover over your mattress.

I live in a single family and haven't actually done any travelling for over a year. So really I have no idea how I got a bed bug infestation. I have a two and four year old that sleep in the bed with me, and the one that slept at the edge always end up with bed bug bites. At first I thought it was a rash caused by detergent but when I took the kids to the pediatrician he suggested that it may be bed bugs. So I removed the bed sheets and inspected the seams...sure enough, the side where the kids slept, there were small black droppings along the seams. I pulled the folds along the seams open and BAM! A bed bug darted out.First attempt:My first attempt in clearing out the infestation involved removing the bed frame and steam cleaning the mattress and box spring. I counted about 20 adolescent to adult bed bugs more "nymphs" than I could count. I could see that the bed bugs fell dead as soon as it touched the steam so I felt pretty confident that the bugs were wiped out after the steam cleaning...but two days later.... I found another 4 bites on my son's arms.So I ordered this mattress cover and some diatomaceous earth from Amazon. My plan was to trap the bed bugs inside the mattress cover and starve them to death. Supposedly bed bugs can survive up to one year with no food.Second attempt:I steam cleaned the whole mattress and box spring again...the mattress does get a little wet so I stood it on one end and left it t to dry for a couple hours. I was about to put the mattress back in place when I noticed one adult bed bug crawling along the side! I already bought this mattress cover, but that just tells me that steam cleaning in itself won't solve the problem. The bed bugs are just so small and flat that they can hide along the seams very effectively. So I put this Saferest mattress cover on. 3 days later, I found 2 more very small bites on my sons arms. There's no place for the bugs to hide with this mattress cover on so I suspect the bugs were hiding in the electrical outlet behind my bed, so I dusted the electrical outlet and the bottom of the mattress with diatomaceous earth. I think this multi-prong approach has worked as it's been almost 3 weeks now with no signs over new bites. Supposedly bed bugs tend to feed at least once a weekSO LET ME JUST SAY SOMETHING ABOUT THIS COVER:I bought the King Size mattress cover, and two twin XL low profile for my box spring set. Both were made with excellent quality. The zipper itself is low profile with small teeths to prevent the bed bug nymphs from crawling out. I don't know how Saferest did it as I didn't think it was possible but this material really does handle water well as well as it being breathable. As I said earlier, I have two kids so needless to say they've already accidentally spilled some water on the mattress cover. I washed the bed sheet, but only had to wipe the cover with a towel to dry it. I didn't let the water pool so I don't know how "waterproof" it really is. But so far it's been very impressive. Regarding comfort: I've been sleeping on this for 3 weeks now and I don't even notice the cover being there. I've used waterproof coverings underneath the sheets before when I was potty training my 4 year old, and they tend to make me sweat. But with this cover, I haven't experienced any of that. It's like I'm not even using a water proof cover.CONCLUSION:Hopefully this post will help you rid yourself of this annoying bug. Use a steamer to bring down the bed bug population. Then use the mattress cover (I definitely recommend Saferest) to trap any bugs still living in the mattress. The diatomaceous earth is to stop any other bugs from crawling up the bed to bite you. Supposedly the earth is safe for humans.
