whats the difference between this and the box spring encasement? the box spring one is much chaper

The box spring encasement doesn't have the soft/less noisy top. I'm pretty sure that's the only difference.

I'm wondering the same thing because the measurements in the descriptions say they're the same size but the mattress cover is more expensive. I'm sitting here debating if I should save some money and get two box spring covers or just get one of each to be safe. Wish you could have gotten a real answer instead of a smartass one :/

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.

The mattress cover is 12" deep, the box spring encasement is only 9" deep. So, if you have a thinner mattress, it might work fine, they are stretchy. However, someone said the mattress cover is also waterproof. I have only the box spring one so I don't know.

It probably doesn't matter as long as it fits. I bought a set of encasements for a queen size. The box spring encasement was so huge I could put both mattress and box springs in it. This prevents me from making my bed properly. I am not really happy just because of the improper fit

It is both - elasticized and with a zipper with a flange that lays over the zipper. We bought two for extra-long twin beds, that are about 12" deep and still the encasement was somewhat big. I don't think it matters that it fits loosely but it's something to be aware of. This was a good purchase.

We kept the box springs we had, put a piece of plywood on top of those, and then added the new mattress. Covered the plywood with a bedskirt to protect the mattress. Added sturdiness. Love our mattress by the way!

I am not using a spring box with this. I just put the thin mattress between the metal frame and this form to protect it..

The box spring is a metal frame, a little challening to get the cover and open , yes we buy the basic metal frame the mattress was shrinked wrapped so be ready whe you open it. Like have room to get out of the way as it expands. All that said it is very comfortable and would recommend. It was just something we had never seen before. Very cleaver engineering. Just read the instructions thorougly.

It is considerably bulkier. The survivor has better protection for rugged use. If you want a case to protect the phone for normal use the Otter Box is fine & easier to carry.

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.

Not much. They're both exactly the same. Protection and look wise. But material is a bit different.

It has a flat part that covers the box spring. You spread the whole thing like a sheet over the box spring.

If you want the quilt to cover both mattress and box springs and come close to the floor I would get the full/queen I have a queen and got the queen size quilt, it did not cover the box springs ! I had to use a dust ruffle. Next time I will buy a king size quilt for my queen. Hope this helps.

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

We bought a queen for a queen mattress and NO it does not encase the mattress and box spring.Must get one with a zipper, which was my mistake. However, I called my allergist office and said cover does not have to be totally encased as long as covered. Hope this answer helps.

I do not know what the difference is. The one I bought was a waste of money! I bought it to be used in our second home should we have more guests than beds, but it did not work, your body sinks down to the carpeted floor. I was very disappointed for I something similar at this home and it works wonderfully!
