Mitre Essentials BugLock Plus Mattress Encasement

No — the encasement is designed to stay fitted on the mattress and does not need to be removed with each linen change. It should be laundered periodically as part of your regular hygiene programme, and can be washed at a high temperature and tumble dried, making it compatible with most commercial laundry operations.

Yes, the BugLock Plus is specifically designed with a bite-proof zip closure that prevents bedbugs from entering or escaping the mattress. This makes it a practical addition to bedbug management protocols in hotels, guest houses, and serviced apartments, though it should be used alongside broader pest control measures rather than as a standalone solution.

The Miracle Membrane is designed to be lightweight and stretchy, sitting beneath a smooth microfibre surface rather than on top of it. It is air vapour porous, which means it breathes rather than trapping heat. Most guests would not notice it is there, and it should not affect the fit or feel of standard bed linen.
