LUCID Zippered Mattress Encasement – Waterproof Queen Size Mattress Protector – Fits Mattresses 6 to 18 Inches with Secure Elastic – Shields All 6 Sides – Quiet cover – White

My boyfriend and I went to visit his family and they failed to tell us they had bed bugs. We ended up taking the annoying pests home and found our bedroom infested and us scratching like crazy. We keep a clean home and never dealt with bed bugs before. We were unsure of what to do, so we turned to the internet for guidance. We ended up buying some bed bug spray and dousing everything in our room which helped, but there were still bugs. We read that getting the box spring protector and mattress protector can work wonders, but we didn't want to spend a ton of money when we just shelled out over $100 on sprays. We found this one and ordered it since it was such a good price and had good reviews. Upon receiving the item, I was very satisfied with the material. It is very comfortable to sleep on and soft to the touch. This material doesn't make weird noises when you lay on it either. The zipper goes around 3 sides of the protector making it easier to put on the mattress. This fit perfectly on my king size mattress that is 15". I did have to put it on by myself which was a task, but it can be done. I sprayed everything down again before putting this protector on and since that day I've seen no more bed bugs and I haven't scratched once! We took many steps to ensure we got rid of the bugs, but I definitely feel this was one of the most vital! I love the product and recommend it to anyone looking for a great product at a great price! UPDATE: Still love the mattress protector... Even more now! Our puppy had an accident on the bed and we unzipped the protector to make sure it didn't get on the mattress and it didn't! Also, we were able to wipe down the protector with a cloth, soap, and water and the stain came out easily and immediately! It was like wiping off a tablecloth or something! Really great product!!

I bought this for an older pillow top mattress that I have been using when staying at my parents. In the past, I have had problems finding encasements for very thick mattresses and "sized up". I didn't want to do that this time as I wanted it to be easy and neat for my parents. This fits perfectly and has room to spare, but the elastic pulls it tight enough it looks like it was made for the mattress. It also feels wonderful to the touch - soft and not stiff like some covers. Although it doesn't seem as air tight as some of the encasements I have gotten in the past, I noticed an immediate improvement in my allergies when I woke up the next morning. The only issue I had was figuring out what direction the cover went on. I felt kind of stupid looking for directions, but with the elastic all the way around it is hard to tell which side is the longer side. I actually put in on upside down thinking the elastic would go on top and pull over the sides like a fitted sheet. Once it was on, it was easy to tell that I was wrong and the elastic goes on the bottom to pull it tight. But even with that snafu, I was able to get it on by myself without any physical difficulty. I just slid the end of the mattress off of the box spring and then slipped on the bottom. Then wiggled it up to the top and zipped it up. It slid on very well and unlike some of my other covers I didn't feel like it was going to tear with every tiny tug. All in all it seems to be a great cover. After one week of use I haven’t woken up congested and miserable once. I really wish there were some indication of top/bottom and sides just to make it easier, but the elastic made the fit so much better than my other encasements that I can’t knock any stars off for that. Also the durability and softness of the material seems to be steps above what I have gotten in the past. As long as it remains as air tight as it seems to be I will be very happy.

Very simple, functional item! I love that it fully encloses the mattress. Having children that are always getting on and off my bed it's really convenient to not have to constantly re-adjust it under the sheets as I did my old one. Excellent quality! I personally have not had any issues at all with it feeling or sounding like a trash bag as others have said. It does have a plastic coating completely covering the underside of the material but it's soft, almost like rubber but without being sticky. I would definitely recommend washing it before use, any kind of bedding or clothing should be washed first. Just make sure you pay attention to the label, cool/cold water, no bleach or heat (ironing, dryers etc). I usually just hang it over my treadmill to dry flipping it over after a while for both sides. It doesn't hold water so it dries quickly. I would recommend this additional purchase for peace of mind if you are getting a new Lucid bed, or even if you just need a new protector for your current one. I do not know how it does with a regular type of mattress as I got it to go with my new Lucid bed I was getting. *UPDATE: DEC 2019* I have had it for 10-11 months now, almost a year and it is still great! We have managed to spill a few things on my bed one way or another yet surprisingly it still looks good after I wash it. I do use Shout as needed for stains (grape juice, coffee and a couple of others things have been spilt on the bed this past year) but it has cleaned up well each time and my bed still looks brand new under it. It is still completely liquid proof, and dust/dirt/skin cell/pet proof. Nothing gets through it. I never had any idea just how much stuff like that actually gets through sheets, blankets and regular mattress protectors until I invested in one of these. The only negative thing I can say is that it is a bit of a pain to remove and put back on regularly but mostly just because the mattress itself is so dense and heavy making it awkward as the whole mattress has to be stood up, but its well worth the hassle for me as I only wash it every other month or so as needed.

-The cover does exactly what it is designed to do but beware, US don't make metric items and they don't fit metric mattresses snugly to say the least.

Parfait!

I bought this when I moved into a new flat and the mattress seemed to have bedbugs. I couldnt find any but they were definitely biting night after night. It was a nuisance until I purchased this encasement and sprayed nontoxic insect repellant (citronella, lemon eucalyptus, mosquito spray) all over the periphery, corners and under the mattress. What a relief! This encasement with the zipper and flap will ensure no critters can crawl out at all. Downside is the price - very very expensive!

The reviews were encouraging and this protector certainly fits the California King mattress well but it is a plastic-like material that rustles when moved and acts as an over effective heat insulator. Our under fleece mattress blanket slid freely and my restless sleeping, heat generating husband could not cope. Sadly I have to admit that with hindsight I would not have bought this. We now have an expensive dust cover idling in a bag in our garage.

Me encantó este producto. impermeable, suave y transpirable.
