i was able to get the mattress protector around my large and heavy queen sized mattress AND a 4 inch mattress topper with very little trouble. I expected the process to be laborious and exhausting but it was not. I found the mattress protector easy to install mainly because the protector slid underneath the side of the mattress that rested upon the floor easily so I could get it into the proper position to start zipping the zipper closed. When I started to close the zipper I was surprised at how quickly and easily it closed. It did not hang up like other zippers have. I got the impression that this mattress protector was very well made. I don't consider myself to be knowledgeable about mattress protectors but I have used one other in the past and given a choice between the two I would definitely choose this one again.

This was fairly easy to put on my queen bed. I actually was able to do it without help. It took a little finagling, but nothing you wouldn’t expect. The size is such that it should fit almost any mattress depth. But it will be a bit baggy if you have traditional mattress depth, which I do. Hope it kerps tge critters at bay! 🤞🏼

I missed that this was covered in terry cloth. If one is seeking to create a low-allergen bed, that seems to defeat the purpose. Terry cloth creates a nice cozy place for dust mites vs most encasements that are varying degrees of smooth. The three stars is a guess since I returned this. I presume it does what it's supposed to according to the high reviews.

Faced with a little (!) case of bedbugs, we had to find mattress protectors for all of the beds in our house, to be put on after Pest Control/Exterminator treated the house.I ordered from Amazon on Monday night because all of the usual places in Central New Jersey (Walmart/Lowes/Target) did not have them on the shelves.My husband did find some in New York City on Tuesday when he went to work. The first one we put on...was ruined before it had ever been used! The zipper broke and that was that. We didn't attempt to put on the rest of the ones he bought; we just waited for Amazon's delivery.This product was easy to put on; feels durable and the zipper is smooth and substantial. Directionss were not even needed because it was self-explanatory but were provided.Worth waiting one more day for to get quality and the assurance that with the treatment and the Mattress Encasement, the bed bugs won't be biting anymore.Yech! to the bedbugs, but this product made me feel safer .Believe it or not, I'm getting extras to take with us when we go to hotels. Bedbugs once in my life is plenty!

The Bed Bugs Are Still Coming Through The Encasement , I Have NOT Slept On It , BUT I Did Go Lay On My Bed For About 5 or So Min.s & When I Sat Up I Seen The Bed Bugs & Their Nymphs Coming Out Where It Was Sewed Together , From The Top Part Of The Mattress To Where It Was Sewed To The Plastic !!! I Felt SICK To My Stomach & Started Crying & I just Grabbed My Walker & Left My ( my used to be bedroom )I Just Recently Got Them On , Because It Took Me Forever To Find Someone To Help Me Put Them On , I Just Got Them On 2 wks. Ago , Plus Before I Put The SafeRest Encasement's On My Box Spring & My 2 Mattresses I Vacuumed All 3 Top & Bottoms Before & The Sides Of My Bed !!We Put Them On & I Also Cleaned The Box Spring Bed Frame Really Good & Put " Diatomaceous Earth " On The Frame & I Also Put The Frame Wheels Into The 2 Plastic Containers With a Paper Towels On The Outside & The DE On The Inside Plastic So The Wouldn't Be Able To Climb Out , Plus My Friend Pulled My Bed 3~4 Inches Away From The Wall , SO There Is Nothing Touching My Bed On All 4 Sides !!! I Really Feel Let Down Because I Had Checked Many Places Before I Came To The Amazon Site & I Read Everything About How It Was Lab Tested & a 10 Year Warranty On The SafeRest Encasement's & I Really Believed Them !!!! I Am Disabled & Only Get 733.00 a Month & It Really Hard To Scrap Together 300.00 To Put On a Gift Card , Because I Had To But 3 Encasement's & DE & 2 or 3 Bottles " Killer Green , All Natural Bed Bug Killer " & Then I Bought 4 More Bottles Of This From The Place That Makes It Because They Contacted Me Via E~Mail Offering Me 20% Off My Next Order & So I Did !!!

I Acutely Watched Them Come Through After I Had laid On My Bed For About 5 Mims or So , That's When I Sat Up On My Bed To See Where They Were Conning From & I Saw The Coming Out Where It Was Sewed Together ......... I Believe SafeRest Should Return My Money , Because It Said " 100% Satisfied or Your Money Back " If You Want I'll Shot Some Video Of Them Coming Out Of The Top Bed Encasement , To Prove I'm Not Laying To You , If You Want Me To !!! I'm Just So Sorry They Didn't Work , I Beloved They Would That's Why I Bought Them :-( :-( :-( :-(P.S.
