A quality mattress encasement provides an extra layer of protection between you and your mattress. Whether you have a new mattress or not, some of the reasons for having this extra layer might surprise you!
How do mattress encasements protect your mattress?
- Spills - If you ever eat or drink in bed - even something as simple as water that you keep next to your bed - it's important to protect your mattress from the chance of moisture.
- Sanitation - A mattress encasement will protect your mattress from pet dander, dead skin cells, sweat, dust mites and other allergens which can trigger asthma.
- Accidents - If you have children or pets (or both!) a protective encasement makes clean-up much easier.
- Bed bugs - Having a mattress encasement will aid in the early detection and prevent the infestation of the mattress as it minimizes the areas for the bed bugs to lay eggs. If you have already had bed bugs, encasing the mattress and box spring traps bed bugs and prevents them from biting, escaping and spreading, leading to starvation.
What is the difference between a fitted mattress protector and a mattress encasement?
Mattress protectors cover your mattress like fitted sheets on your bed. They do not cover the entire mattress. Your best bet, for 360 degree coverage, is to use a mattress encasement, also known as a bed bug mattress cover.

We spend 1/3 of our lives in bed. We spend hundreds (if not more) on mattresses and box springs. Bed bug treatments can get very expensive and when you see how many spills and stains encasements save your mattress, you will quickly see their value!
