It's finally March and that means it's almost spring! Head over to our blog for some spring cleaning tips to help you start out the much-anticipated season.Blog - Full Steam Ahead to Spring CleaningDisclaimer: The Minnesota Department of Agriculture conducted an Internet search of mattress encasements that provided evidence of laboratory certification and testing by an entomologist for the prevention against bed bugs. In addition, mattress encasements that provided protection against dust mites and allergens were included. Any mention of company names, bed sizes, or price ranges does not imply an endorsement by the Minnesota Department of Agriculture. This data was compiled for informational purposes only. Prices can change at any time, so make sure you investigate prices on your own before purchasing. Mattress and box spring encasements are one tool for preventing the spread and harborage of bed bugs. Quality construction of the encasement and its tested effectiveness in preventing bed bugs to enter, escape and bite through the fabric is very important in selecting an encasement, along with cost.
Mattress encasement prices varied by mattress thickness and size, but only 9-inch mattress thickness were considered. Although cheaper, vinyl mattress encasements were not considered because they can tear easily and do not provide quality sleeping comfort (based on consumer reviews). A torn mattress encasement has no value in bed bug prevention. Overall, average and median price ranges were determined from nineteen mattress styles for twin, full, queen, king and California king mattresses sizes from nine companies. Table 1 shows mattress and box spring encasement price ranges for overall, average and median from twin to California king mattress sizes.Price1 ranges of mattress and box spring mattress encasements providing protection against bed bugs. 1 Non-sale prices were used in the price compilation and reflect prices from November of 2012 from the listed companies in this overview.
