What Is A Mattress Encasement Exactly? Discover Ivytress Zippered Structured Mattress Encasements

Did you know the average person can perspire a pint or more each night? That’s right—everyone sweats. This is why getting a mattress protector of some sort is always a good idea to safeguard your bed. While there are commonly available covers and cases, the best and most comprehensive solution is a full mattress encasement. Ivytress’s Zippered Structured Mattress Encasement provides a fully zippable barrier that surrounds the mattress and shields it entirely.

Protect Your Investment with Ivytress

Let’s face it, mattresses aren’t cheap regardless of what size you buy. Protecting your investment is important because none of us want to revisit a mattress company in a short period of time. An Ivytress encasement offers full protection against unwanted dust mites, bed bugs, accidental spills, and allergens. If you sleep a little warm, it also prevents perspiration, other moisture, and stains from reaching your bed, which can permanently soil and wear down the materials of your mattress. Meanwhile, top-down pads or covers typically only protect you from spills and sweats. So, if microscopic critters are a concern for you, the Ivytress encasement is the answer.

Advantages of a Full Mattress Encasement

  1. Comprehensive Protection: Unlike standard covers, the Ivytress encasement fully envelops your mattress, offering a six-sided shield that guards against dust mites, bed bugs, spills, and allergens.
  2. Durability and Quality: Made from high-quality materials, Ivytress encasements are designed to last, ensuring long-term protection for your mattress investment.
  3. Comfort and Breathability: Despite its robust protection, the Ivytress encasement is breathable and comfortable, ensuring a good night’s sleep without compromising on safety.
  4. Ease of Maintenance: Pairing the Ivytress encasement with a washable mattress pad or cover on top makes regular cleaning easy, ensuring your bed stays fresh without frequent encasement removal.

How to Apply an Ivytress Encasement on Your Mattress

Applying the Ivytress Zippered Structured Mattress Encasement might seem daunting, but it’s straightforward with these steps:

  1. Preparation: Take the encasement out of the bag and lay it flat on top of the mattress.
  2. Positioning: Have one person stand on each side of the mattress, bring the mattress down about one foot toward the footboard, and let it hang off the end of the bed.
  3. Unzipping: Find the zipped end of the encasement and unzip it carefully to avoid breaking the zipper.
  4. Application: Shimmy or roll up the encasement to make it easier to apply on the bed. Fit the open end of the encasement underneath and over the end of the mattress.
  5. Adjustment: Carefully pull the top and bottom of the encasement toward the head of the bed. Adjust the encasement on the sides and top of the mattress to ensure an even fit.
  6. Zipping: Align the zipper at the top of the mattress/headboard and zip closed carefully, ensuring not to force or overlap.
  7. Completion: Slide the mattress back toward the head of the bed. You’re done!

Congratulations! It feels great to know that your mattress is protected, doesn’t it? With these steps, we hope you will consider protecting your investment with Ivytress.

Other Suggestions for Enhanced Protection

Since the encasement can take quite an effort to put on, it pairs really well with an additional washable mattress pad or cover on top. This way, you only need to remove the top layer for regular washing, and you still get all the benefits of having a well-covered bed.
