Pluses:
- Independent tests have been done on these covers to prove they not only prevent bed bugs from escaping but they also do not allow bed bugs to bite through
- These covers represent a great value with an unbeatable level of protection at an affordable price
- They keep bed bugs, dust mites and mold spores contained within the cover so they can not cause you irritation – no more bites or headaches and stuffiness due to allergic reactions!
- When water was spilled on the cover it pooled and did not soak through to the mattress
- The extra deep mattress covers are roomy and easy to put on and take off
- They did not cause excess sweating while sleeping
- Though you may be able to feel these covers under your sheets, they are not uncomfortable or annoying to sleep on as cheap vinyl, plastic or other water resistant resistant 100% polyester encasements can be
- Machine wash and dry for easy care and good hygiene
- Doctor recommended to protect against bed bugs, allergies & asthma triggered by dust mites or other allergens that live in your mattress and pillows
Minuses:
- The zipper requires a little more effort and care to make sure it is shut all the way (if a space is left at the end of the zipper bed bugs may be able to escape)
- 100% polyester fabric could possibly irritate those who are chemically sensitive
- Initially there will be a plastic-like smell but this will dissipate when aired out or laundered
- Fabric has a slight vinyl-like feel and if you sleep on thin sheets you will be able to tell you have covers on your bed
- Because the mattress and box spring covers are only available in 17″ depth, they will be baggy on some mattresses (this is a warning for those who are irritated when bedding is not crisps and neat looking)
Summary:
The BeneSleep Bed Bug Covers are very user-friendly and come nicely packaged. Because the mattress and box spring covers are extra deep, they are easy to slide your mattress and box spring inside, however this is usually not a 1 person job due to the size of a mattress. The zippers on the covers are easy to use and glide smoothly making it easy to get a secure close which is essential to making sure bed bugs can not enter or escape. After I got my bed fully encased and made up I did notice that because of the extra deep corners there was some bagging under my sheets that took away for the crisps look of a freshly made bed. If this would bother you then you’d be better off with getting the mattress covers that come in different depths so you can get a “best-fit”. See our White Mountain Textiles Bed Bug Covers. One other thing to note about these covers is that they are more vinyl feeling than our other covers, however they are still comfortable to sleep on without getting too hot or feeling like your sleeping on a plastic mattress. The bottom line is these covers do what they are supposed to and offer a great value with outstanding protection against bed bugs, dust mites and water spills. They are covered by a 3 year warranty which sufficiently protects your investment, and we believe these will last much longer than the warranty period.
