A look at what is currently available on eBay
Will a mattress encasement in the next larger size be less effective?
I want to buy a mattress encasement to protect against bed bugs. The Full size for the one that is effective and affordable has been sold out for a long time, but I have a 13" pillow top and was afraid their good for 13" would be tight anyway. If I buy a Queen size-it's in stock-would it lessen the effect of the encasement? Would it make it impossible to get sheets on?
Thanks for any help---or affordable leads on encasements.
Thanks, Jenny. I did look on Amazon. Only a couple are for a 13" bed. $80, $70, and $60 I wanted is out of stock. Yikes! They are pricey! I may break down and get the $70 
It's true, Susie Q-I keep hearing that rips are a major issue with encasements. I would think with a tall pillow top like mine, it would be more of a problem...
