Does this close up over your head so bed bugs can't get in? what's to stop bed bugs if the top is open?

No, and I don't think I would want to have a sheet that closed so tightly that bedbugs would be sealed out -- if such a thing even exists. Bed bugs are really small, small enough to get through most zippers, etc.

You would need a zippered net to accomplish that...I sprayed mine with Zeet. No problem.

Hello, I'm glad you asked. If you have bugs, the best bet is to get It checked out. Have you been getting bites, such as little red bumps. Unless your bed is completely covered by bugs I would get the top and bottom cover, once on this will keep any bugs from coming out of mattress or box spring. This is not a total solution, so a pest control company is the next step. The one I used did a hepa vacuum and steam cleaned all rooms. A lot of work is involved cleaning clothes and moving things around. If you buy a mattress and don't take care of bugs you will still have a problem. I hope this helps.

Couldn't give you answer to that.dont have bed bugs, using it as protection. It is great quality. Covers over the zippers, I think it would do the job. Good luck, and sorry you have to deal with that.

I also had a real bad case. This works great! From the Orkin guy: you need to make sure you get ALL the crevices in and around the bed (including nightstand), baseboards and especially on both sides of the cording on the mattress. Once I did that, no more bed bugs! If you see them again within two weeks, you didn't find all the hiding places. Spray again.

I am wondering if this would help a hide-a-bed. They are uncomfortable as a rule, but wonder if this 4" topper would make ours tolerable.

yes there's that opening there but it doesn't really affect sitting at all. haven't had any problems with it. when you fold it into a bed the hole is filled (the middle juts out towards the back so it fits like a puzzle piece when the top is folded down).

I have a full on it now and it does go over a little bit but nothing noticeable.. I like my bed up against a wall but if you put the bed in the middle you'd have a little bit of room on each side.. definitely fits a queen but looks great with a full too!

It goes over the mattress like a sheet with corners that tuck down under. Mine goes down along the sides but stays in place. Then put the sheet on top of this. I love it. Extra padding under the sheet makes it nicer for better sleeping also.

No. This product is like a fitted sheet that goes over the mattress with elastic corners, the other fully encases the mattress and zips closed.

For me, In order for it to stay open without having to hold it, I am about 4 inches back from the top of my bed. My dodge 3500 8 foot bed has a reinforcement structure at the top. I hope this helps.

Mine is loose too. I guess the thing is to make sure the zipper is closed properly. They can't eat through the material. And it's not to kill the bugs really, it's more protection against them. Because Bed bugs can go up to 6 months without feeding and still live.

It does open at the top, but that would allow squirrels to get in too. I think I may go back to the simple suet feeder, the birds still haven't figured this one out.

As best I recall, it fits over the mattress. I bought this for my granddaughter last May and my husband put it on the bed for her. It was really pretty easy, and she loved getting in it and opening and closing the window flaps. We definitely didn't do anything with the sheets, though, I would have remembered that. I'm sorry my memory is not better on that, but Julie loved it. Hope this helps.

Yes other reviewers are correct, there are small holes in this bag. I can't give an exact answer as I'm not a medical professional but I would think it should give some protection. Bed bugs have to be brought in from an outside source so if you are storing a mattress and don't already have bed bugs you should be safe. If you do currently have bed bugs I would not trust this bag and I would consult an exterminator who knows what they're doing.

Unfortunately, the bottom only secures on with some Velcro patches. It hasn't been a problem for what I am using it for, but maybe a very busy animal might be able to figure that out. The bottom secures over the tabs so they are not visible, and pretty much extends to the edges so it is possible with a bed and toys in there it might be okay. I love everything about this so far, but I also wish the bottom zipped on and off.

No! There is no openings for insect to get though. Only light can get through.
