One thing I fear the most – always – is bed bugs. Just those two words sends chills down my spine and makes my stomach turn. I don’t know if you’ve seen the news recently, but bed buds are running rampant in many cities, including hotels, and they also invade homes. One way to help prevent bed bugs at home is with the Invisicase Surround Protector from Leggett & Platt. It is a protector that fits around your mattress, in hopes of preventing bed bugs. This is especially important if you are planning on buying a new mattress, or currently have a mattress but do not have a protective cover for it {and hopefully don’t currently have bed bugs!}.
Of all mattress types, the benefits of a tried and true innerspring mattress can’t be matched. Research from Kansas State University’s Institute for Environmental Research shows that an innerspring sleep surface dissipates heat at a faster rate than other sleep surfaces. This means that innerspring mattresses not only help you sleep cooler, but it can reduce heat and moisture, which is the perfect breeding ground for bedbugs.
When purchasing a new mattress, it’s also key to seal bedbugs and other microorganisms out from the onset. With a mattress protector like the Invisicase Surround Protector, bedbugs can’t find their way into your mattress. Invisicase also repels body fluids and moisture and allows vapors to easily breathe through the protector. Invisicase is also a great solution for “gently used” mattresses.
Although I don’t have bed bugs {and let’s hope I never do!}, I think that the Invisicase Surround Protector will be essential on my current mattress, which is fairly new, and on any mattress I buy in the future. I really am just not interested in bugs crawling and biting on me while I am sleeping peacefully. Blech!
More about the Invisicase Surround Protector:
Features
High performance fibers create a 100% waterproof barrier that repels bodily fluids and moisture and is resistant to stain
Machine washable and tumble dry at low temperature
Fits mattresses up to 9″ or 12″ thick
Available in sizes twin through King including special Twin XL, Full XL and Cal King sizesBenefits
Lets vapors escape from a mattress through a special breathable backing on the soft sleeping surface
Provides a clean and hygienic sleeping environment for all ages
Simple on and off: Easy to fit on mattress with three-side zipper closure
In addition to the Invisicase Surround Mattress Protector, Leggett & Platt has some other fabulous bedding items, including sheets, mattress cleaner, pillows and bed sets. I was just telling my husband about the Air Dream Sofa Sleeper System I saw on their website too – his brother is coming to visit in a couple of weeks, and we sure could use the extra bed. They are available in sizes Twin (perfect for bunk beds!) through Queen, and they are so reasonably priced! I also found some really good sleep tips on their site as well – who couldn’t use a perfect night’s sleep? Now, if only I could get my cats to read those tips!
I haven’t personally tried the Invisicase Surround Protector, but I am super happy that I get to give one away to one of my readers!
THE GIVEAWAY is now closed!
One winner received an Invisicase Surround Mattress Protector from Leggett & Platt in their choice of size {$79 ARV}!

Thank goodness, we’ve never had a bed bug problem. My hubby travels a lot and I do worry sometimes about him bringing home a bed bug in his suitcase. I would also love to have their Nara Bed. That would look awesome in our newly remodeled bedroom!

I also like the Sasha Juvenile Bed Frame in Twin Size. I’ve never had problems with bed bugs, but my parents once went to a motel that had them. They didn’t stay after twenty minutes in the bed my Dad and Mom went to
the manager and demanded their money back. I think they were in Georgia somewhere when this happened.

I went to Texas to pick up my son and stayed at a hotel on the way back. When I woke up I was covered in bed bug bites. NOT FUN!!!
A close friend of mine came to the United States to visit and while at a nice, reputable, well-known hotel – she was exposed to bed bugs. She had to be medically treated because she was allergic to the bites. It was extremely traumatizing for her – she still fears bed bugs to this day, even when there’s no possibility one is near.
Hello, thankfully no I have never had any experience with bed bugs, but we hardly travel and we live in a wooded area, so we do get an occasional spider bit or shudder “tick” bite, so we’re not immune to those darn bloodsuckers. We love the the West Bay Bead. Thanks for a great giveaway!
