Degrees of Comfort Water Resistant Mattress Encasement Full Size - Bed

In this review the Degrees of Comfort Full Size mattress encasement is assessed for people who want a full-coverage, water resistant protector with bed bug defense. The bottom line: it fully encases a 15-18' deep mattress and uses a premium zipper and Velcro flap to create a secure, dust mite and bed bug barrier while remaining breathable and soft enough for nightly use. If your priority is protecting mattress longevity and stopping spills from reaching the core, this protector delivers a clear, practical benefit.

Key Features

• Six-sided encasement: Fully encloses the mattress to block bed bugs and dust mites from any edge or corner, giving comprehensive protection.
• Advanced zipper sealing: The micro-zipper and patented 3X zipper flap lock securely to reduce accidental openings and block particles larger than 10 micron.
• Water resistant TPU membrane: A fused, breathable layer prevents liquids from contacting the mattress while allowing some airflow to reduce trapped heat.
• Terry cotton cover: The soft, stretchable cotton surface provides a quiet, comfortable feel that is free of PVC and vinyl for a healthier sleep surface.
• 3M Scotchgard stain resistance: Surface treatment helps repel stains and decreases normal wear, extending the usable life of an expensive mattress.

Who It's For

The encasement is best for sleepers who need an all-around defense: people with allergy concerns, those in multi-unit housing worried about bed bugs, and parents or pet owners who want waterproof protection without a noisy plastic feel. It fits full size mattresses with 15-18' deep pockets, so it suits deeper pillow-top and hybrid models.

Shoppers who want a thin cooling topper or a non-encasing pad that only covers the top surface should look elsewhere, and those seeking an ultra-quiet, completely invisible layer for minimal added fabric may prefer a fitted protector rather than a full encasement.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Provides full bed bug and dust mite protection thanks to the six-sided design and dual zipper/Velcro closure.
• Waterproof yet breathable TPU membrane shields the mattress from spills without a loud plastic feel.
• Soft terry cotton surface and Scotchgard stain resistance make it comfortable and easier to keep clean.
• Easy to install and remove for cleaning, and the heavy-duty zipper generally glides smoothly.

Cons

• Zipper quality and long-term durability receive mixed feedback, so heavy daily use may reveal wear over time.
• Encasement design is bulkier than a simple fitted pad and takes more effort to install on very heavy mattresses.
