One of the more common places bed bugs are found is in mattresses. Mattresses are prime breeding ground for bed bugs because they provide a secretive hiding place, along with easy access to warm bodies at night.

The kind of mattress cover you need for bed bug control and to prevent bed bugs from biting you at night covers the entire mattress by zipping up around it.

There are two basic choices for your mattress cover: Vinyl or Fabric. Generally, fabric is less likely to rip, less noisy to sleep on and more comfortable. However if a bug is gets squished, you will have to wash the cover because there may be blood on it. Vinyl mattress covers are usually easier to clean, don’t stain, and are cheaper. Unfortunately, it tears easily, can smell like plastic, and isn’t as comfortable to sleep in. Whatever you decide; it's a good idea to tape up the zipper to prevent anything from escaping.

If you have a bed bug infestation, it’s probably necessary for you to get a pillow cover, similar in fashion of the mattress cover, to properly prevent bed bugs from spreading.
