Our BedCare All-Cotton Fabric is Certified Friendly™ by the Asthma & Allergy Foundation of America. Here's why Protective Covers are Important: Here's the good news... The BedCare™ All-Cotton Mattress Cover eliminates exposure to dust mites and other allergens.
The cotton barrier fabric is woven so tightly that only air can get through. The mean pore size is just 2.6 microns. This means the dust mites and other allergens in your mattress will not affect you. As an added bonus, this all-cotton Mattress Cover is also bed bug proof. If you are trying to eliminate bed bugs or prevent them, then this mattress cover is a must have. When you start sleeping on the Mattress Cover , you will notice immediate allergy relief. You will sleep more deeply, breathe more freely and feel better when you wake up. Since the mattress cover is made from 100% pure cotton, it does not store or radiate heat like other covers. The fabric breathes well, so it is comfortable all night long. The is not made in an overseas factory. It is manufactured right here in the U.S.A. Every cover is hand inspected to ensure quality and comes with a Lifetime Warranty. The BugShield® Two-Part System There are two parts to the BugShield® system: the Zipper-Lock and the Bug Blocker.
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 sneak 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. All of our BedCare™ encasing fabrics have been tested by an independent lab and the results show that bed bugs cannot pass through these fabrics or bite through these fabrics. Bed bug eggs cannot pass through the fabric or zipper either. Therefore bed bugs outside the encasing cannot get through to your mattress to hide or lay eggs, and any bed bugs inside the encasing cannot get out to re-infest your home. By covering your bedding with zippered bed bug-proof covers, you are protecting the investment you have made in your mattress, box spring, pillows and comforters because you will never need to dispose of them due to bed bugs.
Care Instructions for BedCare™ All-Cotton Mattress Protective Covers: Vacuum the entire surface of the BedCare™ All-Cotton Mattress Cover every 10 to 14 days to capture any allergens that may have settled on the surface. For best results, consider using a HEPA vacuum or allergen-proof vacuum bag. When laundering, close the zipper and machine wash the mattress encasing once or twice a year in WARM water, and consider using all-temperature AllerTech® Laundry Detergent especially formulated for allergy sufferers.

Great product!– Sergio R.Chicago, IL(CNN) -- It's a wild, nasty world under the sheets. The mattress can be a jungle of dust mites and bedbugs, milling around among dried remnants of blood, saliva, sweat and basically all the other bodily fluids you can think of. Bedbugs have become minor celebrities this week with a report from the National Pest Management Association showing that the problem is on the rise. Bedbug calls have gone up by 81 percent since 2000, the study said, and 67 percent of surveyed pest management companies have treated bedbug infestations in hotels or motels. These insects are about a quarter-inch long and eat at night, said Howard Russell, entomologist with diagnostic services at Michigan State University. Impressively, while humans can live only a matter of weeks without food, bedbugs can live up to one year without eating -- and their meals consist of blood. "They're well-adapted to being a parasite," Russell said. "It's really hard to starve them out." Bedbugs, which leave behind itchy bite marks and can even lead to allergic reaction in some people, aren't the only pests that could be lurking beneath your pillow.
About 10 percent of people are sensitive to house dust mites, said Dr. Clifford Bassett, an allergist in New York. They are even more of a problem for people with asthma. As if the presence of microscopic eight-legged vermin weren't gross enough, consider that it's not the mites that cause some people to cough and sneeze. If this is a problem, consider trying an "allergy-proof" slip cover on your mattress to keep the mites trapped in, so they can't access your sheets and pillows, he said. Also, wash your linens in 130° F heated water frequently. Children's toys can also serve as home to dust mites, so if they're not machine-washable, put them in bags in the freezer for five hours at a time to kill the invisible bugs. Good vacuuming of the mattress itself is a key line of defense against allergy-causing mites, said Dr. Sharon Horesh Bergquist, assistant professor in the department of medicine at Emory University. "I don't think people give a lot of thought and energy into proper mattress care. "
It really can improve not only the quality of people's sleep but also reduce their chances of having mites and infestations of bedbugs," she said. "It can go a long way." Don't forget to wash the pad every few months, he said. Also, be a little cautious about letting outdoor pets on the bed, Bergquist said. Other kinds of vermin such as lice and scabies can get into the mattress as well, although they are less common than mite and bedbug problems. All of these bugs and the traces they leave behind, along with the fluids and hair of the human body and whatever pets might hang out on the bed, add up. Companies such as Sit 'N Sleep Mattress Superstore warn that mattresses double in weight every eight to 10 years because of that accumulation of dust mites, bodily fluids and other wear and tear. But Saks says claims of mattresses doubling weight are probably exaggerated. That would mean that the mattress would weigh four times as much in 20 years, which is "obviously not possible," he said.
Bergquist is also skeptical about claims of mattresses doubling in weight. Saks says you should pay attention to the warranty on your mattress -- when it runs out, that's probably a good time to get rid of the mattress. Over time, the foams and coils compress, making it less comfortable. The warranty usually gives instructions on taking care of the mattress, and usually recommends rotating it every two weeks in the first few months to even out the impressions left by sleeping bodies. Eventually you can just rotate it every six months, he said. If you suspect that there are bedbugs in your hotel room, don't leave your luggage in there or cover it with plastic bags so that you don't take them home with you, Russell said. A mattress infested with bedbugs should be thrown out right away, Russell said, or else covered with a heavy-duty plastic bag. Here's how you tell if the nagging red spots on your legs came from bedbugs or mosquitoes: it's the bedbugs that leave dark, reddish-brown spots on the sheets because they defecate as they feed, he said.
