Bedbugs And The Memory Foam Mattress Topper Cover
Bedbugs are small bloodsucking parasitic insects that feed on the blood of animals and people. Your bedding may be hiding bedbugs and you don't even know it. Regardless of your bedding is a visco elastic memory foam topper or some other kind of topper, these bedbugs come out during night, suck the blood of their human hosts and then disappear back into your bedding and will leave the sleeper very itchy. Here are some of the things that will help you to manage bedbugs effectively, although there aren't many things that will eliminate them completely.
One of the best places to find bedbugs is in beds, although they live in many different places. They are normally unobserved because they are nocturnal creatures and only come out to feed on their hosts during the night. Usually, bedbugs will suck blood for about five minutes and then they will withdraw back to the bedding material such as a memory foam topper and leave the sleeper feeling itchy with redness of the skin and skin irritations.
You can prevent bedbugs from coming into contact with the sleeper by escaping into the mattress although you can't eliminate them completely with a memory foam mattress topper cover. Your best option is to use a memory foam mattress topper cover with a zipper because the zipper can totally enclose the memory foam mattress topper where the bedbugs are living. However, the fastener or zipper has to fit sufficiently tight to prevent the bedbugs from escaping.
In addition, a memory foam mattress topper cover should also have a polyurethane based membrane inside. This membrane will perform several tasks. Not only will it act as a barrier between the memory foam mattress topper and the sleeper but it will also prevent the bedbugs that are inside the memory foam mattress topper from escaping, which will eliminate or reduce skin or allergy reactions to the foam. Some memory foam mattress topper covers have a membrane on all sides while others only have one on the top or side. Regardless if you regularly flip your mattress or not, a memory foam mattress topper cover that has a membrane on all sides will provide maximum protection. A memory foam mattress topper cover that has a zipper with a membrane on all sides is your best option.
Bedbugs are very small and can easily move through poor quality memory foam mattress topper covers that have loosely woven fabric. This is the reason that you should purchase a zippered memory foam mattress topper cover that has fabric that is woven tightly to prevent the bedbugs from entering the memory foam mattress topper.
Since bedbugs can hide in pillows much the same as they can in beds, you should also buy a high quality pillow protector. You may have bedbugs in other areas of your home if these methods don't eliminate them. You will have to consider using a professional pest management company to disinfect your entire home if this is the case.
