The BugShield® Two-Part System

There are two parts to the BugShield® system: the Zipper-Lock and the Bug Blocker.

The BugShield® Zipper-Lock is an auto-locking zipper that locks the zipper slide in place so that it will NOT backtrack to leave small openings that bed bugs could sneak through. The zipper cannot accidentally open. To open the zipper, the zipper tab must be pulled.

The BugShield® Bug Blocker is an added barrier that closes the last inch or so of the zipper from below to create a fabric shield under the zipper closure to doubly ensure that bed bugs will not be able to get in or out of the encasing.

All of our BedCare™ encasing fabrics have been tested by an independent lab and the results show that bed bugs cannot pass through these fabrics or bite through these fabrics. Bed bug eggs cannot pass through the fabric or zipper either, so bed bugs outside the encasing cannot get through to your comforter to hide or lay eggs, and any bed bugs inside the encasing cannot get out to re-infest your home.

By covering your bedding with BedCare™ Classic zippered bed bug-proof covers, you are protecting the investment you have made in your mattress, box spring and pillows.

Care Instructions for BedCare™ Classic Pillow Covers:

• Wash the zippered bed bug pillow covers when needed. When laundering, close the zipper and machine wash in HOT water, or consider using all-temperature AllerTech® Laundry Detergent  especially formulated for allergy sufferers.
• Tumble dry on LOW.
• Do not bleach, iron or dry clean.
• Note:  Using bleach or drying at high temperatures will diminish the waterproof properties of this mattress encasing and cause the ComforTech™ polyurethane membrane to separate from the outer fabric.

Warning:  To avoid danger of suffocation, do not allow babies or children to play with or in this encasing before it is installed on a mattress or pillow as the ComforTech™ Inner Lining is not breathable and could block nose and mouth and prevent breathing. This encasing is not a toy.
