Question by Jenio:
Will my dust mite bed cover keep bedbugs out as well?

Dust mites are smaller than bed bugs.
They are not the same thing.
I know there are covers specific to one bug but I want to know if since dust mite are smaller if that would keep bed bugs out also because I can’t have both of the bed at once.

Best answer:

Each mattress cover is tested for specific allergens, insects, parasites. For this reason, only buy a cover that is tested and labeled for the specific concern you have. For example if a cover isn’t bed bug tested, bed bugs can move through small cracks in zippers etc.

A good brand that is reasonably priced for covers is WalMart. I included the link below to a WalMart product that is tested for dust mites and bed bugs and that in my experience is at a reasonable price. Another good choice are the covers offered by Allerzip, which are also tested for bed bugs and dust mites (resource 2)
