polyester mattress covers?
(3 posts)-
I see some mattress covers marketed for bedbugs like Allergy Luxe that uses a woven polyester. Anyone have any experience with these?

I ordered something similar from National Allergy. It was not a vinyl mattress cover--it was a woven, smooth fabric as you describe. I highly recommend it. The vinyl one I got split as soon as I put it on, but the fabric one has lasted. It doesn't out-gas like the vinyl does and is not sweaty in the heat. The only slight negative is that you don't want to take the mattress cover off for 18 months or more so you don't release any bedbugs that might have been encased. Unlike vinyl mattress covers, you can't wipe the fabric cover clean, so if it gets stains they stay there and spot-cleaning wasn't totally effective.

i have an Allergy Luxe cover its tough, i put a double sided tape all around it that didnt have any paper it was like glue with string in it, i heated it up with the steamer and scraped it off with a putty knife, no rips tears and looks like new and i move it around a lot. when i think about haveing to keep it sealed for over a year im glad i got the good one.
