Mattress Safe Mattress Protectors Pass Bed Bug Tests, Manufacturer Reports

Cumming, GA. — A “bite test” and a “penetration and escape test” recently were performed on Mattress Safe’s “Ultimate” Zippered Encasement by a certified entomologist to 1) determine whether the bed bugs can actively feed through the fabric of the encasement and 2) to discover whether the mattress encasement can be used as part of a bed bug exclusion or inclusion process. 

The conclusions of these tests were that 1) bed bugs cannot bite through and 2) bed bugs cannot penetrate through the fabric or design of the encasement, thus proving Mattress Safe’s Ultimate Zippered Encasement’s ability to prevent the infestation of bed bugs in mattresses and box spring, the company reports.

Hotels with rooms that become infested by bed bugs often need to discard mattresses and box springs due to the damage caused by blood stains and fecal matter. The incorporation of mattress and box spring encasements by pest management professionals can be a cost-effective method of preventing damage caused by bed bugs and minimize available harborage spaces.
