Mattress cover: The bedspread does what it says, it completely covers the mattress, pillow or floor, thus protecting the top, bottom and sides. It is made of stretch polyester material designed to be resistant to bedbugs and is usually zippered to close. There are two types of enclosures, waterproof and non-waterproof, designed to prevent bedbugs and dust mite infestations. The non-waterproof enclosure is designed to prevent bedbugs from entering or escaping the enclosure, it does not protect against dust mites or liquids. The waterproof housing is made of the same material, but has a waterproof membrane inside that makes it resistant to bedbugs, dust mites, and liquid stains.
