- Does it really protect all six sides of the mattress?
- Yes. It is a full encasement, so it covers the top, bottom and all four sides, not just the sleeping surface.
- Will it stop bed bugs?
- The zippered closure with an overlapping flap is designed to seal the mattress so bed bugs cannot get in or out. Close the zipper fully and seat the flap.
- Is it waterproof on the sides too?
- The waterproof backing covers the encasement, so spills on the top and sides are blocked from reaching the mattress.
- How does it compare with a fitted mattress protector?
- A fitted protector only covers the top. This one seals the whole mattress, which is better for bed bugs and allergens but heavier to install.
- Can it go in the washing machine?
- Terry cotton encasements of this type are typically machine washable on a gentle cycle and tumble dried low. Check the care label before washing.
- Does the terry surface change how the mattress feels?
- It adds a soft, slightly thicker layer under sheets. Most buyers find it comfortable, though some notice extra warmth.
