We had bed bugs and went through a number of mattress covers before finding some that fit our twin box springs. The cases designed for twin mattresses were all too small. They fit our twin mattress box springs with no problem. They have more stretch in them than the others that we tried and seem more durable. If I had to do it over again, I would have bought this brand for our King-Size mattress as well. We paid an arm and a leg for it at Bed Bath and Beyond. I would recommend this companies products for any one trying to control bed bugs.We cured our bed bug problem by spreading diatomaceous earth around the room to keep them in the bedroom and all around the edge of the bed emphasizing the base of the bedframe. I slept in the bed because I do not react to their bites like my wife does. I laid a sheet on the top of the mattress cover and rolled up the edges and then put a layer of diatomaceous earth (organic D.E. from Amazon to avoid the silicates in pool-grade diatomaceous earth, purchased at Home Depot)at the edges of the sheet so they had to crawl over diatomaceous earth to get to me. We used standard diatomaceous earth on the floor. I washed the sheets in hot water every morning as soon as I got up. It was a dusty mess for 6-7 weeks but we could track the number of bed bugs decreasing until they finally stopped. I kept up the routine for a couple of more weeks and we finally backed off. We purchased Beddy Bug bait(VCM products, sold by Amazon) to see if we saw any more bed bugs and we haven't seen any since.
Be Mindful of Air Pockets When you put this on your box spring, do not zip it up all the way untill you are sure it is on as tight as can be. An air pocket left over when zippering this thing up can cause it to "pop" when you lay your mattress on-top of it. Perhaps there were instructions that came with it warning you of this, but I just don't recall this. Stupidly, I should have returned it upon hearing the "pop" but I didn't, so that part of it is on me.
Therefore, had I put this on correctly, perhaps I wouldn't be having a problem now however I hope that this review helps you. It may be a good product, its just that you need to be careful how you put it on, and do not use it for "low profile" box springs.
The two stars I took off were for a lack of warning / instruction on how to put it on a thinner box spring.
The three stars I did give are because it seemes like a good product, and I think it would work if put on correctly but can't be sure in my case.
Good Luck.I purchased this product together with a queen mattress encasement.
When I purchased my mattress and box spring I wanted to buy encasements to protect them against liquids and bed bugs ( I traveled a lot, so just in case I bring one home). At the store where I purchased my mattress, they were going to charge me almost $100 bucks for the mattress encasement and $80 for the box spring encasement, so I decided to look online first. The sales person recommended me this brand over other brands that they carry because he said that this one had a micro zipper and a closing feature that prevented the zipper to accidentally open. The mattress and the box spring encasement are almost identical, the only difference is that the mattress encasement has cotton terry surface and the box spring doesn't, but the sales person explained to me that they do that to save you money since you won't sleep on top of the box spring anyway. So that's why the box spring encasement is cheaper than the mattress one.
Not to make this review too long, I ended up saving money buying the products here on amazon ( I know, as I mentioned on my other review I feel bad for that helpful sales guy, but what can I do?!)
Anyways, I am fully satisfied with my decision and I feel safe about my mattress too.
Hopefully that helps :)I bought the box encasement for my mattress and was worried that A) it wouldn't fit, and B) it would rip while I was putting it on. Neither happened! It's this wonderful stretchy material and it went on pretty easily. You open it all the way up like a book and fit it around the box encasement (or in my case, the mattress). I was pretty surprised! But my body wasn't made for exercise so I was of course exhausted after putting it on that I just fell onto the bed.Had a small problem and I sent an email from their website. Though it was after they closed, they called me back immediately and sent a replacement by rush shipment. Never had a company with such excellent customer service, I would not buy bed products from any other company. You can't go wrong with Saferest, highly recommended.
