Individuals living in regions of the world where bed bugs are prevalent, or who travel to these regions, can get peace of mind using a Bed Bug Mattress Encasement for healthy and bug-free sleep.

The mattress encasement extends the life of the mattress and prevents sweat and urine from ruining the structure and causing an unpleasant odor. This product is especially helpful for users with incontinence.
