This cover was bought for me to help with potential bed bug problem. I have a twin and the cover is very baggy. Also, I have had this for less than 5 weeks and already this cover has 3 tears in it. I have covered those tears up with duct tape. A bed bug exterminator consultant inspected my area 2 days ago. He said that this cover was not very good. Also because it was so baggy. Well, I can definitely say it is not worth the money. If you're going for a bed bug protection, it's better to pay more than end up with tears in the cover. The material is like paper. The zipper area is so-so. And, that is where the 1st tear appeared (foot end). Then, I found another little tear at the head end. Then another little random tear. This is UNACCEPTABLE. Do not buy this. My opinion. Waste of money, production time and costs....what a waste.
The mattress protector set was a bit tricky to put on, tricky like a duvet cover is, but you don't need help to do it (so chase all those ever wanting to help husbands and kids out of the room, right?) and the fabric is delicate but well made. It is cut so there's enough room to slide the mattress but then completely encloses the mattress snuggly when you zip it up, and it is bed bug rated microfiber. Because bed bugs are small enough to fit through stitching holes on a mattress, they can get through most fabrics and plastics and are only stopped by bed bug rated microfiber like this mattress protector. You can also tell this one is bed bug rated because the seams and the zipper all have an overlay/lining of the microfiber fabric (and velcro where needed) so the bugs can't sneak though the holes where they stitch the seams. The zipper is made of special coils bugs can't go through.
I was worried that a cheap solution (bed bug mattress protector) wouldn't actually work, especiallly if I got the least expensive of the bed bug mattress protectors (Sears has one for 199.99) I was worried this one especially would be ineffective. But it worked, great! Right away! So I can say, go for it, it will work even though it is inexpensive I am very impressed by this product. I don't usually write reviews, but an inexpensive effective solution to a very yucky stressful problem is something I want to get the word out on, since it seems to be an epidemic of bedbugs in America right now. Thanks Aller-ease, and amazon, for making it affordable to deal with.

The description states "100-percent polyester with 100-percent polyurethane laminate". That is true of the top part of the protector. It is indeed a soft polyester top with a film under it. However, the sides and bottom are made out of this thin, cheap feeling, paper-like material (package says polypropylene with polyurethane film). Even the way it is folded up in the package is done to hide the cheap, bottom material.The bottom line It's poorly made and the advertisement is misleading. If you choose to purchase it, make sure you know what you are getting into. I don't expect this product to last very long. That's if I can manage to get it on the bed without tearing. I would definitely not purchase this again.We bought several of these for a rental home but forgot to buy 2 for the sleeper sofas. The covers I bought originally (also from Amazon) were great, for some reason the 2 that I most recently purchased for the sleeper sofas were completely different, even though the description is the same etc...I don't know what happened but these 2 covers are paper thin, made of a completely different and extremely poor cheap quality.I have purchased many allergen bed covers over the years, and this brand is by far the worst one. It rips extremely easily. Spend a couple more dollars and buy a better one!
