Protect-A-Bed Box Spring Cover - FULL

Why use a box spring encasement for bed bug control?
Bed Bug boxspring encasements and mattress encasements are a recommended addition to any bed bug treatment program. You will still need to treat infested areas of the bedrooms. However, because the #1 breeding ground for bed bugs is the mattress and boxspring, you can now just spray and then zip up these critical areas which will eliminate a large part of the infestation. In addition, this can save an infested boxspring so you don't have to throw it out and buy a replacement. Any eggs and/or bed bugs trapped in the encasement will eventually die. Boxspring encasements and mattress encasements are also nice because they provide very few if any places for bed bugs to hide and harbor (compare that with all of the folds, seams, nooks and crannies of a mattress and box spring), and they are clean and white making future investigation and treatment easy. Also consider that if you should find bed bugs on your mattress again at some point in the future, treatment would be as easy as taking off the mattress encasement and washing it in warm water. Again, the key harborage areas for bed bugs would be protected, and so would your mattress investment.

We recommend spraying an infested boxspring with bed bug control products first before encasing it and then keeping the encasement intact for at least 12 months (bed bugs can live a very long time without a blood meal). The bed bugs and eggs inside will die, and the box spring will be protected from further infestation.

    Too delicate
  By Annette on August 27, 2010

  The cover certainly works but the material is very delicate, so it can puncture easily. I used the adhesive moleskin included in the kit to cover the sharpish edges of my box spring, but I also covered the edges with duct tape. It would be better to have a box spring cover made of the same material as the mattress cover.

    Protec a Bed box spring cover
  By Anna on November 3, 2011
  Verified Purchase

  Fast delivery! Great price, Easy to install. Fits my full sized box spring well. The cover had some smudges and black spots so I called Protect a bed directly and they replaced the cover at no cost to me. A really terrific company and a really terrific product. It does take two people to install the cover and, more importantly, to lay it on the steel frame so as not to compromise the cover by sliding it onto the frame and possibly causing a tear. So be careful, but it is not at all difficult.

•   Awesome Product
  By Monica on August 21, 2012

  I'm not giving it 5 stars because the only issue I have is that I wish it was thicker. The material feels thin so you really have to be careful when putting it on. Have somoene help you. Besides this, it's great.

  Easy to put on the box spring with 2 people working together. Instantly stopped the bedbugs that were massed on the bottom of the box spring. Excellent results.
