HOSPITOLOGY PRODUCTS Sleep Defense System Reviews Summary

Fitting and Size

Pros:

• "The cover fits great. Could probably accommodate another 1-2 inches but would be snug."
• "This fit a 17” mattress and wasn’t hard to put on."
• "It is soft and easy to put on. Since it is a looser fit it slides on easily."
• "This is the second one I have bought. It fits like a glove."
• "We have a split king bed, which has two thick, extra long twin mattresses. This mattress encasement was so easy to put on with the large zippered opening and had extra room, no stretching needed."
• "Fit my full futon mattress like a charm and was easy to put on."
• "Fit my daughter's queen bed with a little space, but overall fits perfect to me for an encased cover with zipper."

Cons:

• "Unfortunately, it is not made for a very thick mattress."
• "The only thing I could wish for is that the case fit more snugly on my mattress."
• "Advertising to fit 9-12” split king mattresses. Would not fit our 12” nectar split kings."
• "This is way too big for a full size mattress. It's about 3 inches too long and about three inches too high."
• "The encasement is much larger than the dimensions indicate. This makes the fit around my mattress anything but snug."
• "I ordered a full size and it is a little bit larger than my actual mattress."
• "I now have to spend more money on another cover that will fit a full size mattress to put over this one/."

Material and Comfort

Pros:

• "It is indeed noiseless."
• "The fabric is very smooth and tightly woven - no plastic crinkling sound with turning in bed."
• "The material is not rigid or stiff, but neither is it overly stretchy and clingy. It feels very soft and has a slight silky feel to the touch."
• "It’s comfortable and it doesn’t slide or make any noise."
• "The material is soft and elastic (similar to the feeling of yoga pants) and soundless."
• "The protector is soft and water proof."
• "The texture of the encasing is smooth and soft, and I'm actually quite comfortable sleeping directly on it."

Cons:

• "It does sleep a little warm."
• "This mattress encasement doesn't breath well by itself, it has water resistance but nothing better than a plastic encasement."
• "It's got a plasticky feel to it, almost like a tarpaulin. Even with sheets on top, it doesn't come close to the comfort level of the OEM cover."
• "Main reason it didn't get 4 or more stars is because it is very noisy."
• "But she has a bed wetter and apparently it leaked through a little bit, that's why no 5 star"
• "Despite using a vacuum to suck out all the air the mattress cover pulls so much air in when you lay down the side next to you bubbles up."
• "TooPlastic like and feel. Please OSU T was return for more than 3 weeks and I still haven’t seen credit applied to my card yet!!"

Waterproof and Allergen Protection

Pros:

• "I got it mostly for dust mite allergy reasons."
• "I can sleep better at night knowing bedbugs can’t get to me!"
• "This mattress protector is excellent quality. Very strong and durable."
• "These things LAST! The only reason why I replaced one recently was because my 5 year old one got a bad virus all over it and I did not want that in my bed."
• "Have had several bed bug mattress/box spring covers over the years. They were flimsy by comparison. This is by far the most well made and thoughtful design."
• "Bought for a full size 14” hybrid mattress and fits nice and soft...Seems to provide good protection from allergens and waterproof."
• "I can verify its water resistance thanks to my little home test."

Cons:

• "I haven't tested to see if the product is really waterproof, as it's supposed to be."
• "But one thing different is we wanted to use this in our roof top tent and rainy Washington over the last month and driving with it on top it got saturated which could have been worse, but it seeped through to the inner memory foam."
• "I have not tested the water resistance."
• "This cover was easy to put on the mattress and is reasonably water resistant, but it got a small hole along one of the seams as soon as we put it on."
• "However, this did nothing to stop cat pee from soaking through on to the mattress."
• "despite the '100% waterproof' claim, it is in fact, not waterproof."
• "We have a diabetic dog who has frequent accidents on our bed. This is great the first use- but after washing once, the waterproofing disappears."

Durability and Quality

Pros:

• "This is the only brand I highly recommend to everyone."
• "These are great quality mattress encasements."
• "I like the fact it fits our very deep mattress very well, was easy to put on and seems very durable and gives a sense of comfort."
• "Just put it on so don't know about durability or water resistance, but the quality is good and the Cal King size fit perfectly."
• "We’ve had this for nearly 2yrs and are still happy with it."
• "The product appears to be of good quality and contrary to some of the other reviews I was able to easily install over my mattress all by myself."
• "The material is a very dense stretchy spandex cottony feel - it is thick and durable with the inside layer being a flexible poly blend."

Cons:

• "As soon as we started zipping it, within a few inches the fabric tore! Not the zipper, the stitching at the seams!"
• "After seven years, the product completely peeled (delaminated) after washing."
• "It simply does not work. I could see the tiny bugs crawling from the encasement! it is NOT bed bug proof."
• "The box spring cover came in perfect condition but the mattress cover had some sort of hole in it."
• "Really really flimsy. It ended up tearing the first time I moved the mattress."
• "5yr warranty? Non returnable smh. Very upset with purchase at 32 days. Not even a years use."
• "Yet, this one I purchased was not packaged nicely. It was wadded up in the plastic case as if it was used."
