Queen Size SureGuard Box Spring Encasement

Box springs are hollow and full of hiding spots. An encasement seals those gaps, preventing bed bugs from nesting inside or escaping if they are already there.

Yes. All six sides feature a waterproof membrane to protect against spills, moisture, and potential mold growth within the wooden frame.

Absolutely. It is specifically engineered with a "bug-proof" zipper and sealed seams to ensure nothing gets in or out.

It uses the same waterproof membrane, but the top surface features a smooth polyester knit fabric, rather than cotton terry, as you're not sleeping directly on it.

No. A standard protector only covers the top. You need a 6-sided zippered encasement to fully seal a box spring against pests.

Measure the length and width, but pay close attention to the depth (height). Standard box springs are 9", while "low profile" versions are 5-6".

SureGuard Box Spring Encasements come in one depth option to fit 8-11 inches deep.

It is a two-person job. You’ll need to slide the box spring out from the frame, stand it on its side, slide the encasement over, and then zip it shut. Please follow the instructions on the back of the pack.

Each pack includes free adhesive felt pad to place over any sharp edges of your bed frame. This will prevent the encasement from snagging or tearing on those edges.

We do not offer a Split Queen size.

We do have Split King and Split Cal King packs, as King size beds typically have split box springs. Each pack includes 2 smaller encasements.

Yes, but ensure the slats are smooth. Friction between the slats and the encasement can cause wear over time.

Yes. The protective backing used on all six sides of the encasement is non-woven, with a mean pore size of 1 micron or less.

It blocks dust mites, pollen, and pet dander from accumulating inside the box spring.

Yes, it is GREENGUARD Gold certified and free from Vinyl, PVC, Phthalates, and toxic fire retardants.

The GREENGUARD certification means the product has been tested for over 10,000 chemicals and has extremely low volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions.

Gold means the products are safe enough to use near infants, elderly, and the infirm.

SureGuard products are also OEKO-Tex Standard 100 certified.

No. SureGuard products are designed to be odorless, though a quick wash before use is always recommended.

Unlike a mattress cover, a box spring encasement rarely needs washing unless there is a major spill or infestation. Once or twice a year is usually plenty, unless you have a serious dust mite allergy that requires frequent laundering.

Yes. Machine wash unzipped with cool water using a mild or normal washing detergent. Do not use bleach, or bleaching agents. View the full care instructions.

To maximize the life of your SureGuard, avoid spot cleaners, strong detergents, or using too much detergent in the wash cycle. Start by using half the amount of detergent that you think you need.

Yes, but only on Low or No Heat. High heat will melt the waterproof lining.

Wash with other cotton sheets or towels to speed up the drying time.

No. Ironing will permanently damage the waterproof membrane.

No. Bleaching agents break down the waterproof barrier and void the warranty.

If the encasement is punctured, its bed bug and waterproof integrity is compromised. It should be replaced or patched immediately with specialized tape.

You must leave it zipped shut for at least 12 consecutive months. Bed bugs can survive a long time without feeding, and this ensures they starve.

It doesn't use chemicals to kill them; it uses starvation and isolation.

No. The protective backing is "bite-proof."

Yes, it comes with a 10-year warranty against manufacturing defects, provided the care and installation instructions are followed.

While the fabric is durable, sharp pet claws can puncture the membrane. It’s best to keep the box spring covered by a bed skirt for extra protection.

SureGuard products do not contain flame retardants - these chemicals are high in VOCs (volatile organic compounds). A key requirement for GreenGuard Gold certification is that our products have low VOC emissions.

Note: Materials and fabrics containing flame retardants can still catch fire (at higher temperatures) and they release extremely toxic fumes when they burn.
