Crib Size SureGuard Mattress Encasement Reviews Summary

Fitting and Installation

Pros:

• "In spite of having a heavy king size mattress (12 in deep), my wife and I were able to put the cover on relatively easily."
• "It was very simple to enclose the mattresses, as well as to read the instructions."
• "It was easy to put on, I was able to put it on our brand new king size mattress all by myself."
• "It was so easy, did it by myself in less than 5mins, and slipped smoothly into my brand new 12-inch mattress."
• "This encasement was so easy to put on and it fits the mattress perfectly."
• "The cover's directions on how to put it on were very thorough."
• "Directions showed installation easiest with two people, but I did it by myself in about 5 minutes, with not much room."

Cons:

• "Spent $60 on it, and doesn’t even come close to fitting, it said it fits a queen 60 by 80, and it’s barely even half the size of my mattress."
• "It’s a pain to get on but better than just covering the top like a mattress cover would."
• "Putting on this cover is a two person job."
• "It takes a minute to put it on the mattress by yourself but manageable."
• "It was very difficult for my wife and I to use this product."
• "I had a struggle getting it onto my 12 inch thick mattress so I don't even look forward to getting it off my mattress when it comes time to flip it for the new year."
• "The fit was so tight that it took my husband and I both trying to fit it over the mattress and pull it down."

Material and Comfort

Pros:

• "Bought to reduce allergens and possible bed bug problem. Easy to install and surprisingly comfortable to sleep on."
• "The cover is very soft and you can't even tell it's on the bed when you sleep on it."
• "It has no smell and doesn't make noise when my son moves around."
• "This does not add any heat to my Tempurpedic mattress and I like it so much I got a pair of pillow encasements for my new Casper pillows."
• "The material for the top of the encasement feels soft to the touch and there isn't really any sort of plastic rustling when you sit or lay on the bed."
• "It doesn't make the bed hotter and gives us a little piece of mind."
• "It is very comfortable and doesn't feel at all like vinyl protectors we've used before."

Cons:

• "The top fabric is a bit rough and awkward feeling but again, doesn’t matter because it’s under more covers."
• "It serves its purpose to protect my mattress. I like that it completely encloses. However it isn't very quiet."
• "The zipper is very hard to pull and very small for male hand."
• "When I open the package I was overwhelmed by the chemical smell."
• "The terry cloth top was a little bit of an odd choice... I went to wash his sheets and found mold in the terry cloth under the pillow area."
• "Getting in and out of bed the crinkle wakes my baby who's in the bassinet next to the bed every time."
• "The terry top makes it very hot! Before buying this we kept the temp at 74 and were fine now with this on the bed we have the temp at 70 and wake up sweaty on all body parts that are touching the bed."

Waterproof and Protection

Pros:

• "I decided to test this cover after washing in cold and drying on Low. Put it on my wood floor and poured 1/2 a cup of water on it. What a shock: No leaks after sitting for 5 minutes."
• "Love how it is definitely water proof I spilt a glass of red wine nothing on the mattress took off the cover washed as per instructions treated stain after washing stain gone still using same cover today."
• "I absolutely love it. I don't have bed bugs, however, these days pretty much all the mattresses treated with harmful chemicals, it's either flame retardant or borax, so this cover saves not only my mattress, it saves me from inhaling these chemicals."
• "It is waterproof! I bought this about a month ago and am so glad I did because this week my 18 month old threw up on our bed and it SAVED the mattress! No leaks and no residual gross smell."
• "This Sureguard mattress cover fits perfectly with no wrinkles or puckers anywhere."
• "Great mattress protector! My cat decided to pee on my bed but, thank goodness I had this trusty protector in place!"
• "This cover completely protected our mattress from the urine."

Cons:

• "It soaked right through to my memory foam mattress topper."
• "Puppy had an accident and peed on the bed and it went right through this allegedly waterproof mattress protector."
• "Just finished paying a lot money for BedBugs to be removed from the relatively new mattress this product was 'guarding'."
• "It won’t even protect your mattress from urine."
• "The waterproof layer had split apart after 5 years."
• "Unfortunately we got bedbugs. After treatment, we put these bags on the box and mattress."
• "The urine leaked straight through the top of the cover."

Durability and Quality

Pros:

• "They are very sturdy and durable."
• "It feels like good quality material which should last a long time."
• "The mattress was completely untouched and the mattress pad washed totally clean."
• "Much more durable than I expected. Super easy to install."
• "Very easy to put on and seem very durable."
• "Cover very well made, as seen in the material, and the precision/secure stitching."
• "It's relatively new so I can't opine on its durability except to say that since I use sheets, I expect it to last."

Cons:

• "For the cost, highly disappointed as it ribbed and zipper came off during first wash (delicate cycle)."
• "Both seams on the long sides of the cover came undone in the wash."
• "Purchased this items few months ago (Queen and Twin XL), then today applied it to mattress. It was completely disaster to get it done properly because zipper was broken during the process."
• "The last one I had lasted about 10 years before it started losing its waterproof characteristics and I'm hopeful this will do the same."
• "Only negative issue was the zipper. The slide came off the zipper second time I remove the mattress protector."
• "Sadly, there was no way it could’ve closed with the small, cheap zipper (which arrived already splitting)."
• "The whole purpose of these are to keep whatever may be inside inside but they both were poorly made and the seams did not hold up."
