I bought this item after we found a bed bug. We bought the mattress, boxspring, and pillow protectors for all of our beds from the same company. The mattress and pillow protects were wonderful but the boxspring ones were made of a cheapy plastic that tore as we were putting it on the boxspring. Not sure how long they will last with rubbing on the metal bed frames, but I would suggest just buying two mattress protectors for the mattress and boxspring. Not very happy and nervouse that they will tear.
this bad. This vinyl smell was so STRONG and chemical smelling that it made
me nauseas and gave me a migraine headache. I even aired it out for 3 hrs. OUTSIDE before
putting it on my mattress!! These companies need to stop producing cheap products
w/chemicals that are toxic to us. Do not buy.Cheap you pay, cheap you get I guess in this case. This box spring cover tore when I tried to put it on the box spring. From other reviews, I suppose if you're really careful that MIGHT not happen. But if you're trying to put it on by yourself don't get this item, as it's nearly impossible to put it on the box spring without ripping it. It also has a very strong smell for several days after you put it on. Not the best. Wouldn't recommend it.I read a review below complaining about the "horrible vinyl smell" and was turned off from buying this. I bought it anyway because my bedbug problem was keeping me afraid of my own bed. Turns out the smell didn't even turn out that bad when I opened it and put it on my bed. I smelled it for a couple seconds the first 24 hours it was out of the package, and I never smelled it ever again. But then again, it's different for everyone I guess. If you're sensitive to smells, the instructions on the bag instruct you to air it out for a while before putting it on your bed. And if it's still there, ventilate. Crack the window or leave your door open once in a while so the air in your room can circulate, which you should be doing anyways. I had no problem with it ripping, but when you put it on, just please do handle with care anyways. If you're not that strong, grab another person to help with lifting so you don't accidentally cause any tears. If you don't want something that'll rip if you're too rough with it, then pay the extra money for one made out of a material that won't rip as easily (but remember that just because you paid more doesn't mean it won't rip at all--just think, since when were most household things made to come out unscathed if they were being handled roughly?). Or just do what I did: treat it like something you paid good money for and handle with care and you should be fine. This is a good and cheap investment that works to protect you (and your wallet) in your fight against bedbugs. My mattress and pillow protectors paired with just my initial bedbug spraying courtesy of a pest control service, I'm glad to say that since then, (1) I haven't received a single visible bed bug bite and (2) the only bed bugs I have seen have been dead ones.I'm a college student who rented a cheap apartment. Cheap apartments come with bed bugs it seems, and though we had our apartment sprayed, my mattress had become irreversibly infested. I bought the box spring cover for my mattress (I have a foam mattress and no box spring) because it was less expensive (for some reason) than the mattress cover by the same company.
Basically, it'll do the job, and if you've been sleeping with bed bugs for weeks, this will be a godsend. Yes, it does smell a little at first, and yes it does make some noise if you get in and out of bed but both of these things are non-factors if you have a mattress topper/protector under your sheets. For 14 bucks, no bed bug bites, and free two day shipping, I'd buy this again.
For the record, I bought these nearly two years ago, and haven't had a single bed bug bite since.
I wouldn't, however, buy this for a box spring, as many people seem to unsatisfied with ripping on corners. Thankfully my foam mattress doesn't have sharp corners.
