 Good fabric, bad execution Mar 13, 2008
By Ben's Mom
The Good: The fabric is definitely waterproof and does seem to control the allergens. The pillow protector is much better than the mattress protector because there are no seam issues or oversize issues with the pillow protector.
The Bad: The Queen size mattress encasement has a seam running across the width of the bed! That seam is uncomfortable to my hip lying on it after a period of time, and I am a normal to skinny size person. My cover developed a rip in this mid-cover seam area after only a couple months. Clean Rest asked me to send it back to them before I can get another one under the warranty. So now I have to buy something else for the time I'll be out a cover. Also, we have a 9" deep mattress. The Queen size fits up to 15" deep, and they do not have another product for a shallower mattresss. Since the fabric is a silky texture, the extra fabric wrinkles up underneath you eventually, even if you initially tucked it under the mattress. It's made in China.
Update: I sent the encasement back to Clean Rest, and after some back and forth with customer service they finally honored their lifetime guarantee for a refund of money as was explicitly stated on the package.
The replacement mattress encasement that I bought from National Allergy is MUCH BETTER and made in USA.

 A little 'crunchy' and too big even for my supersize mattress Oct 17, 2007
By Paul
"Paul"
I have a pretty thick California King mattress and I was looking for a dust mite cover when I read about CleanRest in Business Week. Seems like they had a good product and that it had the feel of normal sheets and wasn't crunchy.
Well it is a little 'crunchy' and you can definitely tell that the cover is there especially when you roll around or move on the mattress. It's also a little big and it's hard to fold the extra material under the mattress like the instructions say so we sometimes end up with big air pockets that puff out or folds in the cover that are annoying.
Apart from that it seems like a well built product and it has a good zipper. Seems expensive for what you get.

 Not comfortable Mar 10, 2008
By Laura pp
It seems ok for asthma or allergy, but this barrier is very, very uncomfortable.
It has no smell, but it is hot, so hot, and has an unpleasant feeling .
Not comfortable.
Update:
I have been using it for a couple of months:
PROS:
1) it is effective for allergy, and with time it gets better.
2) it has no smell at all ( no plastic, or antibacterial odor)
CONS:
1) it makes the bed hot, a torture in summer, ok in cold weather
2) has a "gripping effect" maybe so it doesn't slide over the mattress, but you won't either, when you turn around at night, you are sort of stuck, very uncomfortable to me.
3) there are few size options, so you have to tuck the surplus under the mattress
Conclusion:
For allergy (and/or asthma) it does help a lot, but I had to cover it with a mattress pad, to make it comfortable, otherwise I could not sleep.
For this expensive price, it should already come with a fresh and cozy topping, maybe 100 % allergy free cotton.

Poor breathability... Feb 22, 2008
By S. Spencer
I was very disappointed on this item. We recently bought a Tempur-pedic mattress and I wanted to protect it from mite and other allergy-causing stuff by using this CleanRest bed encasing. It probably is an effective protection for allergy sufferers but it just does NOT have enough breathability that my husband and I got too sweaty and couldn't sleep. (we are in Seattle, WA in our motorhome and it's not hot here at all) We tried for 3 nights and gave up. We took it off and now we are comfortable sleeping again. The worst thing is that you can't return this item once you take out of the plastic case. What a waste of money! I might as well put it on the box spring or something...
