HOSPITOLOGY PRODUCTS Box Spring Encasement - Zippered Bed Bug Dust Mite Proof Hypoallergenic - Sleep Defense System - Full/Double –54" W x 75" L

I left this feedback for all the items I purchased and listed here in prevention of BED BUGS. I live in a apartment building. 10 years ago in the city I live in I never heard any mention of bedbugs. Now I hear it everywhere. I purchased the following just as a precaution. Hospitology Sleep Defense System Waterproof/Dust Mite Proof Pillow Encasement, Standard, Set of 2 Hospitology Sleep Defense System Waterproof/Bed Bug Proof Mattress Encasement,80-Inch by 60-Inch, Queen Hospitology Sleep Defense System Bed Bug Proof Box Spring Encasement, 80-Inch by 60-Inch, Queen BEAP 10013 4-Pack Detector Bed Bug Coaster Trap Diatomaceous Earth Food Grade Pest Pistol Mineral Oil I read online many, many, many different suggesting and opinions. These are most popular ideas, and I agree with them. My bed is brand new and I wanted some protection. Every thing listed I purchased on Amazon is good quality and no complaints. I was very nervous the Hospitality Sleep Defense items would have a plastic feel, but it is not the case. The Hospitality Sleep Defense for the pillows and bed have a nice soft and smooth feel to them. They make my bed and pillows feel smoother and softer. They are a good quality and feel like they will last a long time and not rip. They are very big for even the biggest of mattresses or box springs. First of all the Diatomaceous Earth Food Grade box i received is big. I used this for my entire apartment and still have more then half left in the box. Using Diatomaceous Earth Food Grade, and Pest Pistol (online comments are you can also use empty plastic ketchup and mustard bottles) I dusted all long the walls under the carpet (use a dollar store paintbrush to keep it nice and neat), and in some places I lifted the carpet up and sprayed a little on the carpet tacs that hold the carpet in place. You do not have to spray it heavy, only a light coating. Then I took the electrical cover panels and sprayed inside the walls, USE CAUTION, TURN OFF THE ELECTRICAL PANEL SUPPLY. You might want to consider wearing a dollar store face mask, the Diatomaceous Earth Food Grade will blow around a little, if you get carried away with it. Make sure you spray into all holes and crevasses (even in the bathroom) behind the medicine cabinet if there are gaps, in the trimming along the walls, closets, everywhere!!! Every room, every space!!!!!!!. Online reports and comments are that bed bug like hiding behind the medicine cabinet in the bathroom, behind mirrors or photos hanging on walls, dressers, dressers drawers, light shades. I even sprayed a little on my bed frame. Keep in mind, if the Diatomaceous Earth Food Grade gets wet, it is useless and you will have to reapply it. Also note, if you shampoo your rugs a couple times a year, like me, you may have to reapply Diatomaceous Earth Food Grade after your rugs dry. Diatomaceous Earth Food Grade kills all kinds of bugs, cutting into their hard shell bodies and sticks into their joints. This definitely gives me peace of mind when I sleep or laying in my bed during the day. Bed bugs usually feed in the middle of the night, but if they get hungry they will come out all times of the day. Isolate your bed from the walls and the floors. Only have the legs of your bed touching the floor. Keep blankets from touching the walls and floor. Nothing should be touching your walls or floor. ISOLATION! Computer power cords and cell phone cords should not be on your bed when you sleep. Although there are online reports of bedbugs climbing up to the ceiling and falling down/jumping onto beds, I am not that paranoid. Because it is a death sentence for them, they cannot escape or live in the mattress or lay eggs in the mattress because of the Hospitality Sleep Defense. Always make sure you wash and dry your blankets and sheets every week. Dry for at least 20-30 minutes on hot. BEAP 10013 4-Pack Detector Bed Bug Coaster Trap are very strong and very big. I was very surprised! I was nervous, I have a QUEEN size bed with wheels under each leg. But they fit with room to spare. Use the Mineral Oil in the outer trench of the Coasters. Bed Bugs cannot swim in it, they sink to the bottom and drowns them. But dummy me, my queen bed frame has 5 legs, one leg to support the middle of the bed. I used them on my sofa also. Good luck if you find yourself with bedbugs or using these as a prevention and defense. If you do not have the time or energy, you can hire an exterminator which will cost thousands and thousands of dollars. I am the type of person I do not like to use pesticides in my apartment unless I have to. I never use those insect fumigators, they spray pesticides everywhere and you will eventually absorb them into your skin, from the floors and furniture. If you already have bed bugs, I suggest vacuuming every inch of your bed, on your bed, box, and frame head board. Then do your furniture, sofa and recliners. Sofas, couches and recliners are much harder to eradicate bedbugs from, you might want to think about trashing it. Please, before you trash your furniture, damage your furniture so no one else takes it and gets a bedbug nightmare. When you are finished vacuuming, remove the bag, put in a plastic trash bag and TAPE IT SHUT and put outside away from your house in a trash can. They start spraying the Diatomaceous Earth Food Grade everywhere. Bed Bugs are smart creatures, they are very good at hiding until they are hungry. And they will search you out like a blood hound dog. Good luck!

Having worked in the hospitality industry, we know how important it is to protect your box spring from bugs and dust mites. As a result, we have ordered lots of encasements over the years, and these from Hospitology are far better than most. This was so easy to put on the box spring, and it zipped up tight as a drum. It is well made, doesn't snag, and helps protect the boxspring from stains and moisture. We highly recommend this, especially if you are in an apartment type setting or have lots of houseguests. You just never know where pests may come from, and this will keep you protected!

I didn’t know there was such a thing for box springs. I’ve always purchased an extra mattress cover for the box spring. But didn’t like how it looked without a bed skirt over it to hide it. This cover is nice enough and well fitting to the point it doesn’t look awful or sloppy if it shows. It fit nicely, had a nice stretch to it.

Wonderful encasement, perfect for personal or business use. I have an airbnb and this was just what I needed - will buy again from here, it was easy to put on.

So far so good, material was nice. Will see if it helps lower dander / allergen.

I bought this mattress box spring cover to help me combat a carpet beetle problem that I was having in my bedroom. I live in Hawaii where houses are very open, which means it's easy for bugs to come in and set up shop. Apparently some carpet beetles set up shop under my bed, in some of the stuff I was storing under there, and their larvae have little hairs that are barbed. If they touch your skin then the barbs leave welts, and they started getting me while I was sleeping! After tons of research and time with a flashlight, I figured out that it was these guys and not bed bugs (which would have been my worst nightmare) so I bought the mattress cover, box spring cover, and four pillow covers from Hospitology to put over my bed after a massive cleaning and stuff-purging spree one weekend. These are GREAT products! They were easy to put on (I did all of this completely by myself), I added some boric acid and diatomaceous earth (bug killing dust) inside the mattress and box spring covers before putting them on, and after this, and the cleaning spree, I didn't receive a single bit again. I was nervous for a few days when I went to bed, but nothing since and it's been about 3 weeks now! The covers are very well-made, with a strong, smooth, soft material. There is a little air trapped inside of the cover, but I'm sure if you put the cover on with more than one person you could push all that air out before sealing. It's a little annoying, but I think mostly because I did it by myself. All-in-all a GREAT product! I would definitely buy these again and I would definitely recommend them to others. Well worth every penny!

Fit my boxspring very well.

The box spring encasement was a perfect fit! There was no problem in putting it on. Make sure you measure the height of your box spring before ordering. (However, the extra zip tags that were mentioned in the package were not included.

Excellent, fit wonderfully, and thick! I did it alone, put box spring against the wall and stood on a tall step ladder. Put it on like a pillow case. Then carefully settled it onto the frame and finished the zipper. Very nice, would get again.

Excelente producto, no se ajusta perfectamente,quedando libre mucha tela pero en general es un excelente producto tanto en calidad como impermeabilidad

I'm early on in my fight against bed bugs but so far ai definitely recommend them. They feel high quality and will easily stand up to ears of use. They seal securely and fit very well. They're hard to get on but no more hard than other similar products. They're comfortable paired with your regular bedding and don't have weird texture or noises. Definitely recommend.

Good quality, easy to put on and did not rip liked the one purchased at Walmart. Quite expensive but reflected in the quality.

Fits well, good quality
