What fabric is this mattress cover made from? Also, does it provide a barrier against fleas?

the fabric ....not sure! BUT for FLEAS and BED BUGS also TICKS...IT is the VERY BEST YOU WILL BUY!!! I sleep like I'm still in my Mother

It is some type of thin polyester...very comfortable under sheets - you don't even know it's there. Yes, probably will protect you from fleas...works for the BB's and those critter babies are tiny!

I did not keep the package it came in, but it feels like a jersey material with a little stretch to it. As for the protection from fleas, we do not have that problem, but the package did say it protects from other things such as bed mites, etc. I hope this helps.

The package says that its 100% non-woven fabric with polyurethane laminated. It doesn't mention being able to contain fleas, only bed bugs and dust mites. I would recommend that if you are going to encase your mattress that you also do the box spring. Also I bought some spray products that say they are also for fleas that you can spray bedding with, Rest Easy is one of them and the ingredients are all natural. Good Luck.

I'm not sure what materials the cover is made from. It feels like a cotton knit, but I can't find anything on the label. I have a pillow case on the pillow, so it hasn't been an issue :) A king size pillow case fits it perfectly.

I just looked at mine and it appears to be some kind of stretchy mesh on the four sides but it sure feels like plastic where it goes on the mattress. I'm not sure I detected any terry cloth but I could be wrong. To sum up, I'm kind of ambivalent about this cover. It seems like it would protect the Tempur-Pedic mattress below but it can feel "plasticky" under you and it does slide around on the mattress. Hope this helps.

It is made out of cotton muslin...closer to a rough bed-sheet rather than a terrycloth, any yes, there is only one loop on the short side. The screen is closer to a rectangle than a large oval. Excellent product, excellent price!

The cover is fabric. I'm sure you could wash it. Ours only lasted one day :( but we live on a farm and I think it got a hole on a barb wire fence.

The cover is made of a rubber-like material. Is somewhat soft, but still firm. It will not slide around and it will not scratch. I use it against the exterior painted fiberglass walls of my RV.

It's made of some sort of fibrous material that is very flimsy. Works great for the mattress but take great care for the box springs. Don't use the enclosed protective pads if you do have the bed bugs. Turns out they love the glue on the pads, but the pads seem to come loose then stick to the protector. You can't pull it off without causing damage.

I do not know--it is too fine to count--however I can tell you that nothing, nothing gets through! Material is also strong--used for months by my two boys, one of whom has an insect allergy--very, very nice. It is less a "netting" than a super fine, heavy duty veil. No mosquitos, blackflies, gnats/mingies, fleas...nothing gets through....We like these very much. Even the zipper end is super flush.

It's made of a thin breathable material . I bought it because we have temper pedic cooling mattress and the protector doesn't seem to inhibit how the mattress feels. I don't think it would make a difference on a regular mattress.

The fabric is plastic. I think it will be ok unless they pee on the little battery box. As soon as ur cat steps on the matt, I will s are them off. I tested the matt & that was enough for my dog to stay off the couch. True story!

I'm not sure of the type of material, it is almost as soft as silk with teary cloth top. The covers are larger than the mattress and box spring, which made it much easier to use. What sold me was it is certified against anything biting through the material and it can be machine wasted and heat dried. The others I purchased from Walmart is plastic and can not be put in drier on high heat, plus they were not certified bite-through resistant. My children are highly allergic to dust mites as well as other biting bugs. No more skin irritations since I put the protectors on the box spring and the mattress. I am so very please with the product and would highly recommend for anyone with allergy issues. I'm not sure of the type of material, it is almost as soft as silk with teary cloth top.

FabriClear does works for Fleas. I know that this Bed Bug Spray(FabriClear) is the TRUTH. I ordered it because every night when I laid in the bed, I would itch like crazy. Like something was biting me and I would get little bumps on me. I got very little sleep. I thought I had bed bugs but I never seen anything crawling around on my mattress. I ordered FabriClear and after I sprayed my mattress the first time, I have not had any problems since and that was about 5 months ago. Now I spray my mattress once a month just to make sure. Absolutely no problems. I am so relieved. FabriClear does what it says it does. FabriClear does works for Fleas. I know that this Bed Bug Spray(FabriClear) is the TRUTH.

Its clearly a plastic type fabric. There is not a lot of give, in fact, i ripped my first one trying to force it onto my mattress.

I talked with a sales rep from Sleep EZ and he told me that the mattress cover is made with an organic cotton knit material. He also told me that they use 1/4 inch of rayon as a fire retardant on each side and include 1 inch of soy foam under the cover on each side for a plush feeling. He also told me that the firm side of the mattress consists of 4 inches of Dunlop natural latex with a 40 ILD rating and the medium firm side consists of 3 inches of Dunlop latex with a 26 ILD rating. The company now has a label on each side of the mattress to identify which side of the mattress is firm and which side is medium firm

it is a soft canvas type material. it seems to be very durable. I have a shorthair and a wirehair and they haven't damaged it at all. a bit bulky to wash.

It is made of a dense foam (no coils) - it only states the cotton cover is organic, so would assume the foam is not. However, it did not have any chemical odors when I unwrapped it. The foam is a much more dense, (seemingly) higher quality than what came with the portable crib I purchased - firm, not a lot of give, but still soft feeling. Plus the organic cover seems to be of high quality. My grandson sleeps soundly on it. Note that the mattress cover is not waterproof. I purchased an organic cotton waterproof mattress cover to go over it and then covered all with an organic cotton portable crib sheet.

I cannot honestly answer this question since we don't have a bed bug problem. However, the fact that this mattress cover envelops the mattress would prevent bed bugs from getting in.
