RIA….Do you also have the pillows encased in plastic? That would be about 20$ extra per pillow, 80$ for a GOOD plastic sheet… I’d throw in the extra 50 for another mattress.
While looking for plastic sheeting cost , I came across this. Ask these people what they think……..
I bought the mattress covers from walmart and i didn’t last a month till it had a hole in it. I’ve used steam commercial bed bug spray powder a good shop vac and I feel like I’m wining the war but it just takes time spray every couple of days I painted my bed room and caulked everywhere never give up! San Diego has a bed problem with bed bugs right nowI wanted to add that people shouldn’t just buy another mattress after a few treatments from the pest guy. They shouldn’t just think that they are protecting themselves because they encased their mattress either. Bed bugs will crawl on the wall, on the ceiling and when they feel that warmth from your body rising to the ceiling they will release their hold on the ceiling and fall onto the bed where they will begin to have their supper. It is true! So, don’t think that you are okay just because you protected your mattress and box springs. They are drawn to warmth and they will travel up to twenty feet or so to get to their host!
Not all allergy mattress covers are the same as bed bug free mattress encasements. Some may not prevent bed bugs from entering or exiting your mattress if the zipper size is too large. Look for teeth on the zipper that are small. Also poor covers have small holes where the zipper ends where bugs can escape. Usually will have special zipper stated on the package. I have found the average price to be $89.00 and up.
Haha this thread has gone a bit sideways but good stuff. We cover the mattresses with good quality, quilted covers and the pillows with zippered, good quality, protectors. The mattress protectors and the pillow covers need to be white and washable. White so we can bleach them as needed. Although we have had some debate over patterned.
