Do Your Mattresses Need Covers? 5 Scenarios That Say Yes

Written by Hali Reynolds | Jan 10, 2018 1:00:00 PM

We've heard it many times. You're working on a budget, and mattress covers seem like an easy place to save some money. However, we'd be lying if we didn't tell you that disregarding mattress covers would be a huge mistake. Don't do it.

If you're contemplating the necessity of mattress covers at your college, camp, rescue mission, or military housing facility, keep reading.

If you fit into any of the following five scenarios, you'll know what to do from here. 

Your current cover is damaged

If you're seeing rips, tears or frays in the covers that are currently on your mattresses, then it's time to invest in some replacement mattress covers. Not only do worn covers make your camp cabins, dorm rooms and rehab facilities look run-down but poor bedding quality will certainly not do you any favors in your mission to make your guests feel welcome and comfortable.

Your current cover isn’t bed bug proof

While just about any mattress cover will protect your mattress from typical wear and tear, not many covers are equipped to withstand every sleeping facility's worst nightmare — bed bugs.

Bed bugs creep into the seams of mattresses and mattress covers where they lay eggs and go often go unnoticed until their victims experience bug bites and irritation. Generally, by then the infestation is quite large, and the extermination process can be quite expensive. With bed bug proof mattress covers, this pesky inconvenience can be easily avoided.

Your current mattress isn’t fluid resistant

Whether you're hosting 8-year-olds or 80-year-olds, fluid resistant properties are a must. Sheets and sleeping bags don't begin to provide the protection your mattresses need from spilled soda, bed wetting and everything in between. Mattresses absorb anything and everything unless they're covered with a fluid-resistant shield like a vinyl mattress cover. Remember, investing in covers now adds life to your mattresses, saving your organization money down the road.

You want the best of both worlds

Sometimes it is possible to have your cake and eat it, too. Many of our customers want to purchase nicer, more plush mattresses and still have the benefits of our bed bug proof technology and fluid-resistant properties. Thanks to our fluid resistant, bed-bug-proof mattress covers, the proverbial cake possession and consumption is a realistic option.

Give your guests the comfort of a pillowtop mattress while also offering them the security of sleeping on a surface that's both bed bug proof and fluid resistant.

You currently have bed bugs

Not only do our bed bug proof mattress covers keep bed bugs off your mattresses; they also keep bed bugs in. No, that doesn't mean you can just smother a bed bug infestation with a mattress cover. It means that once you complete the extermination process, you can cover the mattresses to ensure any stray bugs or eggs don’t cause another infestation.
