Are you one of the unlucky people who have had to deal with bed bugs? If so, then you know how hard it is to find a solution that works. You could spend a small fortune on over-priced bedding. Or, you could save your money and try Bed Bug Proof Pillow Cases instead. With all the talk about the resurgence of bed bugs, there is quite a bit of panic. For example, I just read an article from WebMD telling my to steam clean my bed to kill bed bugs during their mating cycle. One would think that people would understand that this is not effective as bed bugs can live for up to a year without feeding. The best way to prevent and protect yourself from bed bugs if you use hotel or hostel beds is to protect your head and body with what I call “bed bug proof pillow cases”. These are cases made out of fabric which has been pre-treated with silicone that prevents bed bugs from attaching themselves. This means they can’t live on top of your pillow or feed on you while you sleep.

Bed Bug Proof Pillow Cases

Introduction

Protects against bed bugs and other allergens

Protects against bed bugs and other allergens

If you have bed bugs in your home, the first thing to do is to inspect your mattress. It’s possible that they’re hiding there. This can be difficult to do on your own; if you are able to identify signs of infestation, professional help should be sought. Mattresses also harbor dust mites, which cause allergies and asthma in some people. They’re not harmful by themselves—but when combined with an already-allergic person’s sensitivity to them, it can lead to more problems than usual. Bed bug proof pillow cases can help protect against this issue by keeping dust mites from getting into the case itself where they could get into contact with you while sleeping.

Made of cotton

You may have heard that cotton is a natural and breathable material, but what does this mean for your pillowcase? A natural fiber like cotton can help keep your skin from being irritated by the materials in your bedding. Cotton also has a tendency to be durable and easy to wash, making it ideal for use as an everyday pillowcase.

Antimicrobial against bacteria, mold and mildew

Antimicrobial properties are one of the most important features of a pillow case. They’re also one of the least talked about, because it’s not as sexy as some of the other features that attract your attention.

But don’t let that fool you: antimicrobial properties can mean the difference between a good night’s sleep and tossing and turning all night due to an itchy neck or eye irritation from allergens. The material used in this pillow case is treated with antimicrobial properties to protect against bacteria, mold and mildew growth on its surface.

Hypoallergenic

A hypoallergenic pillow case is a good idea for anyone who may have allergies, but especially for people with severe allergies. If you’re someone who suffers from severe allergic reactions to just about everything, investing in hypoallergenic pillow cases can help you sleep comfortably and undisturbed by nighttime rashes or breakouts of hives.

The materials used in manufacturing these types of pillow cases are typically less likely to cause allergic reactions than other materials. Some of these materials include:

• Polyester (100% polyester)
• Cotton (100% cotton)
• Bamboo fiber (50/50 polyester/cotton blend)

Machine washable

One of the most important reasons to buy a bed bug proof pillow case is that it can be washed in the machine. If you’re going to have bed bugs, you want to make sure that you can clean up the mess. This means washing your sheets and pillow cases on a regular basis so that they do not become infested with bed bugs too.

This is an expensive solution for people who are not able to wash their sheets often enough. If this sounds like it could happen to you, then buying a bed bug proof pillow case might save your life!

Fits standard size pillows

• Fits standard size pillows

For those who have their own pillows, you may need to purchase a new one. Standard size pillows are generally 20×26 inches or 26×26 inches. The pillow case is also made to fit these sizes without any problems, but if you have an extra large pillow or a special shape, there’s no need to worry as long as the dimensions are close enough in size.

The best way to prevent bed bugs from invading a home is to prevent them from getting onto our sheets in the first place.

The best way to prevent bed bugs from invading a home is to prevent them from getting onto our sheets in the first place. Bed bug proof pillow cases will help keep any would-be invaders off of your pillow and out of your bedding, reducing the risk of an infestation.

Bed bugs aren’t like other insects, who are drawn to dirty sheets and clothing. They don’t care if they are sleeping on something that smells like vinegar and has been washed a million times in hot water with plenty of bleach; they’ll happily have sex there or lay their eggs on it as long as you let them inside!

But we also know that bed bug prevention doesn’t just start with keeping them out of our homes—it also includes preventing their spread once they’ve gotten inside somehow (like by hitchhiking on used furniture). That’s why it’s important to use bed bug proof mattress covers along with the pillowcases in order to keep all potential hiding spots covered—and preventing infestation in one’s home altogether!

Conclusion

If you think this all sounds like a lot of work and hassle, you’re not wrong. Bed bugs are notoriously hard to get rid of, so the best way to avoid them is prevention. If you’d like to learn more about how to prevent a bed bug infestation in your home, check out our other blog posts on the topic.
