Can these encasements be re-used on a new mattress & box spring - or do I need to purchase new?

You can wash this, so I imagine you'd be good to reuse it as long as there aren't any holes in it.

I don't know why not. They are washable, and as such, that would entail removing them from the mattress, etc. Why not put them on the new set after washing? :) Just be careful not to tear any holes in them during the re-installation, etc...

They're reusable and have a life time guarantee, so if the zipper fails or it has normal wear and tear you can also have it replaced.

Pretty sure it can be used again; if you kept the extra zip-ties it came with originally.

No you do not need them. But they will help increase the life of the mattresses

I suggest consulting with an exterminator for the correct answer. I bought this encasement for a relative, I also bought an encasement for myself to cover the mattress at a seasonal rental in Florida as a precaution.

My error, I just looked at my history on Amazon, and BOTH of mine were bought from Defense Acquisitions. I read some of the other responses, adn I agree, if you want something new, then buy new. Having said that---they are washable, and other than the fact that someone else slept in it, I can't tell the difference. If that doesn't bother you, save yourself the money.

I'm using sheets that were used on my previous mattress, which was a normal underscoring and they fit fine. The sheets are from Wal-Mart. I have not had to purchase new sheets.

I would suggest these be left under the mattress and you can use wooden clothespins to attach the ends to the fabric seam of the box spring. This way, when you change the fitted sheet you can just attach it without lifting the mattress. These work way too good at keeping the sheets stable to go with another brand.

I think they are making the pads (as well as fitted sheets, etc.) to pretty much fit all the extra-deep sizes of mattresses. The twin beds we have in the guest room are NOT the big, deep mattresses that are in our master bedroom. So, unless your mattresses and box springs are between 14-18" tall, your "fitted" items will probably be loose. The ones we ordered are a little loose because of that, but they seem to stay in place fairly well (we tucked the "extra" fabric in around the mattresses, and the elastic is good, so it does keep them in place). Hope this helps!

I have not bought a replacement mattress, yet. I've seen some mattresses for sale on amazon that are for the specific co-sleeper bed purchased!

You can use your foundation, if it is good and solid. If it is really like the old box with springs in it, you may want to get a sheet of plywood to put on top of it and then put the mattress on it. If it is the box foundation that does not have springs you probably would not need the plywood. As long as your foundation is solid you do not need to get a separate foundation.

I seriously doubt that you can get replacements except from the mattress pad manufacturer and that may take so much effort and final cost that I'm sure it would be far easier to simply buy a new pad. Such controls rarely wear out, which is one reason that replacements might be impractical. What happened, did you spill your milk on one? If that is the case, perhaps placing a small clear plastic bag over it might be wise. Good Luck!

Buy the one that is for the box spring same encasement but for smaller size up to nine inches and the cost is much lower.

I would recommend that the box spring be encased as well so as to minimize chance of bed bug infestation.

I think it would probably work. They are pretty big. I bought a cal king and put it over an existing mattress cover and it still fit. It's tight but it stays on. If I take the other one off the new one would probably fit a little loose. You can try. If it doesn't work just return it. Can't beat the prices.

Yes, there is a different item designated for mattress cover and another for box spring cover. I ordered both items.

Hi. I had the same problem. As long as the new plate matches your old plate, you can just replace the plate. The covers online are the same price as this cover plus the box and the quality of this cover was very good so you can discard the box if you don't need it without guilt.

I would remove it right away. I have a 2 young children and so got a good quality mattress protector. I didnt want to chance it.

It's a matter of personal preference. The box springs encasement protects from dust allergens. The mattress encasement adds an extra layer of protection. We use both due to allergies. Choose according to your needs.
