Most commonly used, the Classic protector has a microfleece surface and goes on an off the bed like a fitted sheet and can be laundered and dried.

It stops all perspiration, skin oils, skin flakes, hair, spills, stains and accidents from getting through to the mattress. It comes with a 10 year warranty on defects in the pad. Additionally, it extends that warranty to the mattress.
If something penetrates the protector, Protect-a-Bed will have the mattress cleaned or replaced up to $600.00.

Most commonly, they are transported to people’s homes via clothing and/or luggage from hotels, motels and resorts, as well as many other high traffic sources including movie theaters, apartments, dormitories, parks and cabins. Bed bugs are very successful hitchhikers, moving from an infested site to bedding, baggage, boxes, and clothing with ease. Although they typically feed on blood every five to ten days, bed bugs are very resilient and are capable of surviving over a year without feeding. Bites from bed bugs can be painless, but may become itchy later and can look like small reddish welts. They do not have nests, but tend to live in hiding places that provide them easier access to people that they can feed from. Common hiding places in the home can be in mattresses, box springs, headboards, nightstands, baseboards and even in cracks in walls.

Without an encasement, once a mattress becomes infested, you should consider replacing it since treating your bed and pillows with pesticides can be harmful.
