Not too long ago a customer called wanting to know why our bed bug mattress cover for a king size bed was half of what the first company she called wanted to charge her.
She wanted to know who was ripping her off. Was the other company charging too much our was our cover cheaply made and not effective.
Bed bugs are bad enough, who wants to be made more miserable by overpaying for bed bug proof mattress covers.
She asks a great question. But, the answer is not so simple though.
First of all it is not my place to say how much another company should charge for their products. We charge our customers what we feel is a fair price for the products and services we deliver. It is a simple concept we have used for all the years we have been in business and it has worked.
Secondly, there are some companies that try to play on fear to make a quick buck. Having bed bugs is bad, some people are afraid and their fear makes them a target for the unprincipled.
Our past experience tells us that many of the companies popping up claiming to be bed bug experts will not be around next year. Sad to say but true. Look at all the so called mold experts that are no longer in business.
As far as the Bedbug Solution mattress covers we sell, the fabric has been laboratory tested and proven effective against bedbugs and have a patented zipper closure. They are also allergen proof.
Bottomline, we feel are superior to other cover on the market.
The mattress, comforter and pillows are made from a 100% stretch polyester material fused to a urethane membrane. Bed bugs can’t chew through it. The zippers we use are heavy duty and made where bed bugs can’t pass through.
Bargoose Home Textiles, the manufacturer, is always looking at ways to improve an already effective product.
Many companies are selling non-membrane cotton covers for bed bugs and to be honest I don’t feel comfortable telling my customers they will be just as effective. Pristine is the only non-membrane material that has been tested for be bugs.
Bed bugs are bad and personally I am not going to mess around with anything I'm not confident will provide 100% protection.
There are several very good companies, the Allergy Store included, that will give you honest information, effective products at a fair price. It is up to you to ask questions and feel comfortable that the information and products the company is providing is what you need.
Wishing you the best of health,
