PlushDeluxe Premium 100% Waterproof Mattress Encasement, Breathable Soft Cotton Terry Surface (9"-12" Deep, Cal-King 72X84)

This review is for the PlushDeluxe Premium Zippered Mattress Encasement, Waterproof, Bed Bug & Dust Mite Proof 6-Sided Protector Cover, Hypoallergenic Cotton Terry Surface (Fits 9-12 Inches H) Twin,10-Year Warranty, purchased April 2020 (during Coronavirus self-isolation) for $35.NOTE: For some reason, Amazon Reviews is not allowing me to upload pictures for reviews at the moment. I will come back here and try to attach the photos I took for this review later.My two requirements for this purchase were that the mattress protector cover the entire mattress and that it be 100% WATERPROOF. I also needed it to be resistant to puncture from cat’s claws. I wasn’t convinced from reading the ad that it would be durable enough to stand up to my cats, and was especially unsure it was 100% waterproof. There were a lot of reviews stating that this protector is not waterproof and that it rips at the seams almost immediately. Here is my review after putting it on my mattress and testing its waterproofness.This mattress protector is zippered around approximately half of the perimeter of the mattress. The way it is placed on the mattress is similar to putting something into a half-pocket and then zipping it up the rest of the way. It was not too difficult to get it onto the mattress by myself but this was only for a very light twin mattress. If your bed is any bigger, you will probably need someone to help you put this on. It does come with instructions on the easiest way to get this on your mattress, which I found helpful.I did NOT find this product to be cheaply made, or to tear at the seams after tugging on it and wrestling with getting it onto my mattress. It held up pretty well against my tugging and whatnot. The seams held together fine and did not tear or rip.The zipper is not a very expensive one and I made sure to be gentle with the zipper and not to yank on it or otherwise pull on it in any way that would break it. I believe the zipper itself has plastic teeth and a metal zipper-pull, but I can’t be 100% sure of this. I would go easy on this zipper as it is more like a delicate, hidden dress zipper than a pants, jacket or upholstery zipper. I am not overly concerned that the zipper will break because I have placed another protective layer over this mattress protector eliminating the need to wash it often, however, if you plan on placing your sheets directly on top of this mattress protector and washing it regularly, I’m not sure this would be the best choice because the zipper doesn’t appear to be that durable that it would survive being zipped and unzipped often.The way that this mattress protector is made waterproof is the underside of the top (the side your body lies on) which is some type of loop material that appears to be cotton or a cotton blend is coated entirely with polypropylene. I tested its waterproofness by placing an area of the mattress protector on top of a red file folder, pouring water on top of the mattress protector, and examining the underside of the mattress protector and the top of the red file folder. I took some pictures for you and have uploaded them here, so you can see whether or not the reviews stating it’s not waterproof are accurate. The mattress protector I received from purchasing the product described at the beginning of this review is indeed 100% waterproof. The polypropylene covering on the underside of the protector prevented 100% of the water I poured from seeping through to the mattress. Also, from the appearance of the top of this product I believe it would be difficult but not impossible for my cats to puncture or rip it as they would if it were just a sheet of plastic.I hope this review was helpful to you. If it was, please give it a thumbs up 😊

I have recently been in and out of hospital with my mom. When admitted I typically stay overnight with her. One morning I woke up with bites on my back and arm. I never had an experience with beg bugs, so I summed it up to spider bites. My aunt came to visit my mother and noticed the swelling on my arm. She is a nurse and said they looked like bed bug bites. Again I never experienced bed bugs nor been curious to know anything about them. Naturally there was no urgency on my part other than assuming it was a one time occurrence and life goes on.Later that evening as the itching intensified and swelling spreaded, I did report to nurse and wanted my mom moved into another room. I was then informed that there has been issues with bed bugs. All her belongings were bagged and she was given a shower. By then I’ve been home and bought in overnight bags and blankets I used while in the hospital. Since then I’ve been experiencing bites. I called exterminator but he was not able to locate any bugs or signs that they were in my home.Before I spend a load of money I have started doing all the necessary precautions. I bought these mattress encasements after researching bed bugs and preventive maintenance . The quality is great and it fit my mattress like a glove. I’m happy with the purchase. Not sure if it’s effective at this point but definitely an essential item needed when attempting to trap them. I will update my review if anything change .Update: I did experience one more episode of bites since last review. I still didn’t spend thousands on exterminator I used Ortho Home Defense Max for bed bugs, mattress/box spring covers, sprayed bed linen and furniture with alcohol (was told they hate the smell), vacuumed daily, bagged up linens in black bags and sat out in heat for 2 weeks, and some other little things. It’s been 4 months and no sign of bed bugs.Update April 5, 2025- still no more occurrence. I took case off mattress to wash. It held up well during washing and was easy to put back on.

I ordered the 9"-12" Deep Queen mattress encasement. Had a small issue with the zipper, I requested a replacement which came immediately at no additional charge & it fit perfectly on my 12" thick mattress. It feels & looks great, no noise at all. I don't know if it really works for keeping mites from entering & living in it but it definitely protects against fluids. I'm happy with the product & with how well & fast the company responded.EDIT: In ref to the mites I was still having issues when I went to bed at night & couldn’t figure out why, so I decided to vacuum it with a high power shop vac all over & to make sure I grabbed all those suckers, I vacuumed the top area of it which is made of terry cloth or something like it, 9 times in a row! That night it was still the same. What this proved to me is that whichever mites got on it when I first encased my mattress in it, are using this fabric to hold on tight & no shop vac will get them. In the end I purchased another brand that does NOT have any terry cloth anywhere & I no longer have a problem at all.If anyone has followed a “certain “ review for a mites killer I posted in the past, they would know I’ve been fighting them for at least 3 years. Now it is finally over & I learned a lot. With that said, If anyone is having this kind of problem (not dust mites) mites that live on the skin, I can shorten your fight by pointing you in the right direction. It has been a nightmare of epic proportions. I am finally starting to live again.

We bought several of these in different sizes for our home, and so far we’re very pleased. After researching so many options, I was overwhelmed and unsure which to choose, but these turned out to be a great pick for the value. No noise when sleeping, the zippers work well, and everything fits nicely. We haven’t had any spills yet, but they seem well-made and reliable. Would definitely recommend!
