I had a bedbug problem that I treated with DE (foodgrade). That one thing got rid of the pesky critters. I bought a new, thick mattress and the cover went on easily with 2 people. Had no problem with the zipper, didn't use the "zipper lock". Didn't think it necessary. I sleep hot and haven't really had a problem with the cover holding heat. It does not make any noise (any noise you might hear would just be the air slowly escaping), it does not hold air. Don't know if it is waterproof, didn't need that feature, haven't checked it out. Don't know if its bedbug proof or not, as I said the DE got rid of my infestation. If you have the creepy crawlers, just buying a mattress protector isn't going to keep you from getting bit. You don't have to call in an exterminator, nor do you have to purchase anything expensive. DE is cheap and goes/lasts a long way/time. Do the research on how to get rid of them, its easy... can't believe how frustrated I was trying to decide which way to go to get rid if the bugs. Not having a lot of $$$. I opted for the easiest and cheapest way to go. It was a no-brainer and started working immediately. This cover is a nice cover for the price and is much better than some, and if some think its keeping the bugs at bay, well then thats fine too. I'm on the fence with that one. I bought it to help with allergies (dust mites, etc...) and it has seemed to help with that, I haven't woken all stuffed up like I used to. So thats the selling point for me! I can breathe a little better since putting on a new bamboo mattress that is way thick and it firs perfectly with no excess. Hope this helps someone, especially if its only to find out about DE for the bugs, remember to get foodgrade and its Diatomaceous Earth. (DE for short) safe for children and pets, its even good to eat for many health related problems. As I said, do the research... what do you think a computer is for??? P.S. I did not have any of the yellow stains on my cover, but I kept it in original packaging until I bought the new mattress. Maybe any pest control residue had "vanished" by the time the package was opened for use?

I use these on all of my vacation rental beds. Super easy to use and easy to take off and clean. It has saved quite a few of our mattresses from being destroyed. Recommend it to all of my owners.

Bought 4 of these for our gkids beds. 1 got tested pretty quickly and it worked as it should. Worth the $

I bought the King size version of the Low Profile Mattress Encasement Cover and I can confirm it fits a 7" thick Mattress perfectly!! It could probably go to as high as 9" without overly stretching it (if you wanted to). But 7" was a perfect fit. It was relatively easy to put on too (even for one person) Two people would be easier but its not hard to put on. (10 minutes at best). The quality is great. The material is not rigid or stiff, but neither is it overly stretchy and clingy. It feels very soft and has a slight silky feel to the touch. By that I mean it feels very well made. The Zipper is smooth to open and close (not scratchy) and it opens up all the way across and then around half of one side of the mattress cover. Perfect for installation (and / or removal) I can't say how waterproof it is as I didn't need it for that (or test it). But it appears to have some decent water resistance. I put a Foam Topper on top of my encasement cover and it works very well that way. (I could have also put the foam topper inside the encasement along with the mattress too) as there was enough room for it to fit inside (but I prefer the way I did it). As I see it, if you need a "low profile" encasement cover I can highly recommend this product. Its quite pricey, but quality is rarely cheap. I'm very happy with this purchase. The Seller got it to me (from the USA to Canada) in record time. It came exactly as described and was well protected inside the shipping box. There are "No" negatives at this point to this purchase (except maybe the price) Again (just to be clear) For anyone needing an encasement cover for a Mattress that's between 5"- 9" thick, this one will fit those sizes perfectly. Its advertised as Low Profile, but that's mainly because its not High Profile. (as in over 10") To put this little review in a Nut Shell, I can honestly say "Look no further" if you're searching for a quality encasement Mattress cover in the 5" - 9" thick dimensions. This is the one. Happy!

I still gave 5 stars because I think I used it outside its intended purpose lol. But I put it on and put the mattress in a mattress bag"¦did it alone so drug it all over"¦the encasement ripped and my mattress got dirty but I love it for normal use!! I actually think I'm ordering another one, just don't use it to drag your mattress lol. The zipper is good quality too.
