What exactly makes it bedbug proof? I’ve avoided them and I’d like it to stay that way.

I had bedbugs once, and I basically had a case of delusional parasitosis as a result. I’m still not over it. Every speck on the floor, every slight itch, I still jump every time. Get yourself a bedbug proof mattress cover TODAY and your life can be saved.

It’s a heavy duty zippered bed encasement. Idk seems to work. Also get those interception things for the legs of your bed. A simple investment that can save you a lot of headaches, NOBODY is immune to them.

The mattress case, because it fully encapsulates your mattress, reduces the areas where bed bugs can hide.

I’m sold, even if it means one more thing to wash. 😣

I bought one, and looking up the leg interception things now. How often do you need to wash the mattress cover?
BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 9 months ago
I usually wash once every couple of months.

I had PTSD from the great bed bug war of 2018 for for a couple years

Unless you’ve been through it, nobody truly understands. I’m sorry. My mental health has never been the same.

Dealing with bedbugs was definitely the worst time in my life. I’m also not completely over it and jump when my clothes brush against my skin. Any hotel room or Airbnb I stay at gets a thorough examination around all the beds before my shoes come off.
It was a lot of fun explaining to people that no, I couldn’t entertain them at my place because it was a functional quarantine zone. Oh you’re going to stand way over there while you talk to me, that’s cool I guess.
This is a joke community, but seriously. If you’re reading this, go search online for what a bedbug looks like and be aware of signs of infestation. You do not want to have to fight with them when you could have acted sooner.

It was truly awful and I’m sorry you went through it too. I bought a pocket flashlight and I inspect hotel rooms with it, even the headrest at a movie theater. I still run every piece of fabric in my home through the dryer every couple of months just in case.
Seriously to people reading this, the mattress encasement and interceptors cost about 100 total, spend it now and save yourself a world of hurt.
