The first line of defense: Bed bugs earned their name by being more commonly found hiding on or near the bed than anywhere else in infested homes. Bed bugs feed on human blood while their hosts are sleeping, then hide in a tight and secure place to rest, digest, and reproduce. If left unchecked, a small number of bed bugs with access to a nightly meal can multiply into an infestation in just a few weeks. SafeRest mattress encasements and box spring encasements are essential to the process of making your bed bed bug proof. Bed bug encasements seal off the mattress and box spring, eliminating those common hiding places that bed bugs use to breed and to avoid treatment efforts. Rather than disposing of expensive mattress sets, SafeRest bed bug proof encasements can be used to seal off the mattress and box spring, trapping any bed bugs inside and preventing them from escaping. Over time, these trapped bed bugs will die of starvation due to the lack of a blood source. When designing their encasements for bed bugs, dust mites, and fluid protection, SafeRest selected only the finest materials and developed their own exclusive features.
The result was a breathable, noiseless encasement that prevents bed bugs, bacteria, dust mites, and fluids from passing through. This premium level of protection has helped thousands with allergies and asthma to improve their health by providing a more sterile and allergen free sleep environment. SafeRest encasements have also helped others to protect and treat their mattresses against bed bugs. Finally, those who suffer from heavy night sweating or have children, pets, or incontinence have benefitted from SafeRest's breathable waterproof design, which blocks all fluids from passing through. 360° Secure Micro Zipper SafeRest's patented zipper and enclosure completely seal your mattress on all six sides. The micro zipper spans three sides of the encasement for easy installation and removal. The micro zipper's teeth that are too small and close together for bed bugs to fit through. The secure velcro enclosure seals off the end of the zipper to ensure there are no gaps that bed bugs can enter or escape through.
Premium Cotton Terry Surface While other encasements use low-cost materials that rustle and retain heat, SafeRest's designers went out of their way to ensure that your sleep experience would be as quiet and comfortable as it would be without a mattress cover. SafeRest Premium's cotton terry surface design is soft, smooth, and noiseless. Cotton terry naturally absorbs water while allowing air and heat to pass through, keeping your bed cool and dry. Protect your mattress from fluid spills like sweat and urine with SafeRest's exclusive membrane layer. This unique design blocks any fluids from reaching the mattress while still letting the mattress breathe to prevent heat buildup. SafeRest's waterproof membrane is free of vinyl and PVC. It has no phthalates or fire retardant chemical treatments. It's perfect for children, allergy and asthma sufferers.

Breathable membrane allows airflow while repelling liquids Micro-zipper technology for the ultimate bed bug protection 360° Secure design prevents accidental openings Surrounds and protects the mattress on all six sides Completely waterproof and noiseless Great for asthma, eczema and allergy sufferers Prevents bed bugs from entering or escaping Machine washable hot or cold Tumble dry on low heat Installing a SafeRest bed bug encasement is very simple, but may require two people since it involves lifting the mattress from the bed. Before you begin the installation, strip the mattress of all bedding, such as sheets and pillows, and remove the encasement from its packaging. With the help from another person, remove the mattress from the bed frame and lean it upright against the wall. Unzip the mattress encasement on all three sides and wrap the short, unzippered side over the top of the standing mattress. Gently pull the encasement down so that both sides of the mattress are covered, and begin closing the zipper.
Set the mattress back down on the bed to finish closing the zipper, and use the velcro enclosure to seal off the end of the zipper. SafeRest's Premium encasements are designed to last for many years if cared for properly. By following the included care instructions, you'll be able to take advantage of all of the protection and health benefits offered by these encasements for the length of their 10-year warranty and beyond. Note that SafeRest's 10-year warranty covers manufacturing and fabric defects, and will not cover damage caused by failing to adhere to the care instructions. Wash the encasement with the rest of your bedding at 95° Celsius (200° Fahrenheit), usually reached by the medium or high heat setting of your washing machine. Tumble dry the encasement only on low heat to avoid damaging it. Temperatures over 55° Celsius (130° Fahrenheit) can melt or warp the waterproof membrane layer. Do not iron or dry clean the encasement. The high temperatures involved will melt the waterproof membrane layer, causing the encasement to no longer be waterproof.
