Although vinyl covers are waterproof and inexpensive, there are a few downsides: they have that noticeable vinyl odor, can be a bit noisy when used on a mattress and they can trap moisture in your box spring or mattress. Our BedCare Economy box spring encasings solve these issues because they are made with a soft, non-woven material so they can breathe. Although they won't trap moisture, this box spring encasing WILL trap bed bugs, dust mites and their allergen to keep you safe all night long. Plus, we make this 5 inch deep low profile box spring encasement with our BugShield zipper closure providing you with total protection on all sides with no gaps or openings. These covers will provide years of trouble-free protection and allergy relief. Designed for low maintenance – put it on and there’s no need to give it another thought. Fabric pattern may vary slightly.
10-Year Warranty.

While most sewing manufacturers are going "off shore", this dual purpose mattress and box spring cover is made in a National Allergy-owned sewing plant in North Georgia. All our fabric box spring encasings are hand inspected to maintain top quality. Our skilled craftsmen know that the care they take in making each box spring encasing is important to your health, and they take their work very seriously. BedCare Economy box spring encasings are made to last.

Product Notes:

• The BedCare Economy dual purpose mattress and box spring cover is made with a non-woven, tri-laminate fabric that is durable and breathable for lasting comfort.
• Zippered box spring encasings can only trap bed bugs that are hiding on your box spring. However, these zippered box spring encasings will not protect you from other bed bugs hiding in your bedroom. For complete elimination of bed bugs from your bedroom and your home, you will need to contact a pest extermination specialist who understands how to rid your home of bed bugs.

Bed Bug Fact Sheet from Ohio State University, and how encasings can prevent bed bud infestation:

"After the mattress is vacuumed or scrubbed, it can be enclosed in a zippered mattress cover such as that used for house dust mites." - Susan Jones Ph.D. Bed Bug Fact Sheet, from pg. 3.

Best Steps for Bed Bug Control:

You may already have bed bugs and are working to eliminate the infestation or you may be working to prevent a bed bug infestation. Either way, BedCare mattress and box spring encasings, pillow encasings, and protective covers with the BugShield System should be part of your plan.

The BugShield Two-Part System

The BugShield Zipper-Lock is an auto-locking zipper that locks the zipper slide in place so that it will NOT backtrack to leave small openings that bed bugs could get through. The zipper cannot accidentally open; to open the zipper, the zipper tab must be pulled. The BugShield Bug Blocker is an added barrier that closes the last inch or so of the zipper from below to create a fabric shield under the zipper closure to doubly ensure that bed bugs will not be able to get in or out of the encasing.

By covering your bedding with zippered bed-bug-proof covers, you are protecting the investment you have made in your mattress and box spring, pillows, and comforter because you will not need to dispose of them due to bed bugs.

All 6 of our BedCare encasing fabrics (Elegance, Ultra, Supreme, Classic, Economy, & SofTEK) have been tested by an independent lab and the data show that bed bugs can not pass through these fabrics, can not bite through these fabrics, and eggs can not pass through these fabrics or zippers. Therefore bed bugs outside the encasing can not get through to your mattress and box spring to hide or lay eggs, and any bed bugs inside the encasing can not get out to re-infest your home.

NOTE: Zippered bed-bug-proof covers cannot protect you from bed bugs hiding in other areas of your bedroom or home such as behind headboards or inside wall sockets. For complete elimination, you will need to contact a pest extermination specialist who understands how to rid your home of bed bugs.
