RID makes an upholstery spray that works for lice. This might also work for bed bugs. However I think bed bugs burrow inside the mattress so this may not be effective. If their that bad then you may have to get a new mattress.

I manage a hotel and my husband works for Orkin. Look at the seams of the mattress. Are they black and look moldy. That is sign of infestation. You have to call in professional help for bedbugs or you will not I repeat will not get rid of them. They are extremely difficult to get rid of and if you treat the room they are in will go to the rooms next to them and find a new source of food. Seriously chemicals you buy in a store will not kill them and trying to do it yourself is not going to work. You may get temporary relief but reality is they will be back….
Here is a start of the things you can start with…………via Mayo Clinic
Once your symptoms are treated, you must tackle the infestation. First, you’ll need to freeze pajamas, sheets and other bedclothes for at least 24 hours or launder them in hot water of at least 97 F (36 C). Vacuum the area of infestation daily and freeze the vacuum bags for 24 hours. Insecticide sprays such as dichlorvos, permethrin and malathion must be used around cracks and crevices in your home. Lawn and garden insect control sprays may contain these insecticides, and garden stores may have permethrin. However, this difficult task likely requires a professional inspection of the bedbug habitat and subsequent extermination.
