The BedCare All-Cotton anti dust mite mattress cover is made from a 100% cotton barrier fabric that is so tightly woven allergens can't pass through. The mean pore size is 4.5 microns, making it a great bed bug encasement, too. When you zip your mattress into this cover, you know that you have total protection and cool comfort all night long. If you like cotton, you are going to love this dust mite protector encasing!
Lifetime Warranty.

SIZING NOTE: All-Cotton & Organic All-Cotton encasings are made slightly larger than the stated measurements to allow for normal shrinkage that is common when laundering 100% cotton fabrics. Although this does not hinder the effectiveness of the encasings, you may want to wash your mattress covers before installation.

While most sewing manufacturers are going "off shore", all of our fabric dust mite protector encasings are made in the USA. Each and every dust mite cover is hand inspected to maintain top quality. Skilled American craftsmen know that the care they take in making each zippered mite proof mattress cover is important to your health, and they take their work very seriously. The BedCare All-Cotton allergy mattress cover is made to last a lifetime.

Product Notes:

• The BedCare All-Cotton mite proof pillow cover has premium, rust-proof zippers.
• Plus, BedCare All-Cotton encasings can be used for bed bug protection. You should also encase your mattress and box springs to complete your bedding protection for both bed bugs and allergens. However, these covers 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.

Vacuum the entire surface of the encasing every 10 to14 days to capture any allergens that may have gotten on the surface. For best results, consider using a HEPA vacuum or allergen-proof vacuum bag. Close the zipper and machine wash the encasing once or twice a year in HOT water (or use a special laundry product for allergy sufferers). Tumble dry at the LOWEST setting. Do not bleach, iron or dry clean.

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 of our BedCare encasing fabrics 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.
