SofaSafe Bed Bug Proof Sofa Cover Couch Encasement

You don't order this without being desperate. Big success for me. Encased a brand new 77" couch with ease. Now fully functioning protected couch. Picture directions excellent: just lay out on floor with base spread evenly, place couch in middle then zip up, lift whole thing in place. Zipper quality seems sturdy. Fabric non irritating, minor order for about 1-2 hours, color is very neutral and not objectionable.

This cover worked well for our needs fighting the dreaded bed bugs. It would be great for storage of furniture as well. If you bought this for bed buds I would recommend having the furniture treated professionally. You don't want to have to keep treating. We kept this on for a good 6 months for effectiveness.

I'm sorry that it took this long to write about a great product. We were thoroughly pleased with it. We kept it on for 2 years because we were too lazy to take it off after18 months -- and the color (identified at the time as "gold") made it very, very acceptable. I just saw that there is a product that is a little less expensive, but comes in white only. I would not have wanted a white couch in my living room -- particularly for an 18-month period.The zipper was perfect; the size was more than generous; the instructions were clear.Of course there was a problem with comfort -- that the fabric is slippery. But I could not see how that could be solved given the nature of an infestation. That slipping, I could live with.In light of the the remedies available during an infestation, it was the very best of solutions, and a high-quality product that I recommend highly.

For anyone going through the misery of bedbugs, I highly recommend this sofa cover encasement! My elderly mother lives in a senior housing complex and to our horror, we discovered that she had bedbugs. Getting rid of them has been a big battle. The last hiding place for them has been her sofa which she frequently naps on. It is a very nice leather sofa and it would have broken her heart to have it hauled away and destroyed, but that was our only option, or so we thought. Even if we had gotten rid of it and purchased a brand new one, there would always be the possibility of just one little bugger finding its way back to re-infest it all over again! So, I was thrilled to find this product! It wasn't cheap, but it was considerably less expensive than having the old one removed and buying a new one. And okay, it probably isn't the exact color that I would have picked, but I guess it is neutral enough. And, it is a little big, but I was glad it was big enough to make it easy to get it on. Its not a super thick material, but its much more comfortable than vinyl and with a little caution (no problem for my mother)it should last for a long time. Finally, it zipped up nice and secure so that my mom can now "Sleep tight and not....." Well, you know the rest.

I could not find a cover that was large enough . This one is perfect . It really works . I thought I was going to have to get rid of my sofa until I got this . Problem solved !

Purchased two of these after battling bedbugs for weeks. Did not contain them. Would not recommend.

I noticed a difference immediately. I have had no trouble with the zipper at all. I put it on in such a way that the Zipper is down toward the bottom in the front so there is no stress on it. I tried to duct tape over the zipper line when I first bought it (the way people were recommending) but the duct tape would not stick. This is a very great sign because that means it is slippery enough that the bugs cannot crawl up this cover. I have had absolutely no problems except that it is hard to get sheets to stay on it, and we must "sleep tight" not letting anything they can crawl up touch the floor. I have good luck with flannel or fleece and then a sheet over the top of that (those materials seem to stay put, and I use my sofa for sleeping). I am so glad that a product like this was invented and mine will stay on for at least a year. It has been such a fantastic help. I am also using Bedlam spray, which a friend told me that professionals used in his apartment, and it is awesome. I also sprinkle diatomaceous earth all around the edges of my floor. In a situation like this you do everything that you think will help. They are absolutely under control and I will continue being vigilant for one year

While I appreciate the idea, in the end this product did not work out for us.I live in Canada and had to purchase 2 of these cause I couldn't find any here. We ended up only needing one so I returned the other.The cover was way too big! We had to tape it up, it was a struggle to keep it together as the tape would come loose. We live in an apartment complex so the fear of bb's returning was always present. While this cover provided assurance in the short months we had it, eventually it ripped, and we started getting bites again. It did not save our couch and sadly we had to throw it out. I'm very disappointed as this is so expensive and we now have to purchase a new sofa.If you buy this, be prepared for it to touch the floor. Especially if you have kids that use the couch. You will need plenty of tape, patience and follow through to keep it together. Glad to see it worked out for others, but it was just not worth it for us.The material is stretchy, but just not durable for tugging and pulling.
