Bargoose 6-Gauge Vinyl Zippered Mattress Encasement – Commercial, Hotel & Institutional Asset Protection

In high-turnover hospitality, healthcare, and government housing, protecting the mattress foundation supports faster turns, easier sanitation, and longer asset life. The Bargoose Heavy-Duty 6-Gauge Vinyl Encasement is a 100% waterproof, wipeable, zippered cover built for demanding environments and everyday cleaning protocols.

Industrial-Grade Risk Management & Sanitation

  • 6-Gauge Heavy-Duty Vinyl (PVC): Designed for durability in high-traffic settings, with 360-degree coverage designed to resist fluids, moisture, and common pests.
  • Electronically Welded Seams: High-frequency welded seams help eliminate needle holes, supporting barrier integrity under heavy use.
  • Wipe-Clean Efficiency: The non-porous surface is designed for quick sanitation with common facility-approved cleaners and can reduce laundering and replacement costs while helping reduce “Room Out of Order” downtime.
  • BugStop® Seal Closure:Zippered construction with the patented BugStop® Seal to help keep the zipper end fully sealed and reduce entry/escape pathways.

Barrier Performance: Independently Tested (ASTM F1670)

The vinyl used in our cover is highly effective at blocking particles and fluids and has passed independent lab testing using ASTM F1670-08(2014)e1 (resistance to synthetic blood penetration). This is the same test method commonly referenced for evaluating barrier materials used in protective apparel such as surgical gowns, laboratory coats, coveralls, vests, jackets, aprons, and full-body suits.

Bed Bug Protection: Entry, Escape & Bite-Related Claims

This product is designed to be bed bug bite-proof, entry-proof, and escape-proof by combining heavy-duty vinyl with a sealed zipper system using the patented BugStop® Seal. In laboratory evaluation, bed bugs were not able to penetrate the vinyl barrier.

What “Brushed Finish” Means

The 6-gauge vinyl includes a light brushed finish designed to reduce the “sticky” feel common with traditional vinyl and help limit crinkling noise under bedding—while keeping the surface non-porous and wipeable.

Safety, Materials & Care

  • Waterproof: 100% liquid-proof, non-porous wipe-clean surface.
  • Antimicrobial Treatment (Ultra-Fresh): Treated to help retard the growth of mildew, mold, and fungi on the cover.
  • Easy Care: Wipes clean with a damp cloth.
  • PFAS-Free: Made without PFAS (“forever chemicals”).
  • Warranty: 1-year warranty.
  • Video

Product Specifications

  • Material: 6-gauge commercial vinyl (PVC), non-porous and wipeable.
  • Closure: Heavy-duty zippered encasement with the patented BugStop® Seal. The BugStop® Seal is a piece of sewn tape that helps keep the zipper locked in place for a more complete seal.
  • Barrier Testing: Independently tested using ASTM F1670-08(2014)e1 methodology (synthetic blood penetration).
  • Depth Options: Available in 7", 9", 12", and 16" profiles.
  • Sizing: Broad size range including standard, hospitality, and specialty dimensions (including options like Hotel King, Crib, Split California King, and Semi-Truck sizing where offered).
  • Accessories: Matching 6-gauge vinyl pillow protectors (sold separately).

Commercial Property Management FAQ

How does a vinyl encasement improve property ROI?

By providing a waterproof barrier and wipe-clean surface, a vinyl encasement can help prevent fluid damage from reaching the mattress core and can reduce labor, utilities, and replacement frequency—helping rooms return to service faster.

Is 6-gauge vinyl suitable for clinical settings?

Yes. The non-porous surface supports wipe-down sanitation, and the cover’s vinyl has been independently tested using ASTM F1670 methodology for resistance to synthetic blood penetration. Always follow your facility’s cleaning and infection-control protocols.

What makes the BugStop® Seal different?

The BugStop® Seal is a sewn tape closure designed to keep the zipper end locked in place and reduce gaps at the zipper—supporting entry/escape protection when the encasement is fully closed and properly installed.

ZIPPER CAME RIPPED

the zipper on the encasement came RIPPED, which totally defeats the purpose of putting on an encasement. I waited a few months to put it on, so I have missed the return window and now I’m stuck with a defective product and no box spring protection. This is a terrible product. I do not recommend at all.

ripped at zipper upon a gentle install

ripped at zipper upon a gentle install.. not the quality i expected

We’re very sorry to hear about your experience.

It’s especially disappointing that we did not have the opportunity to make this right before your review was posted. A zipper issue during a gentle install is not the standard we hold ourselves to, and not the experience we want any customer to have.

We would welcome the chance to resolve this for you directly. Please reach out to our team at orders@bargoosebedding.com so we can review the issue and provide a replacement or appropriate solution right away.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

BedBug Solution™ Vinyl Mattress or Box Spring Encasement

This got a small tear as we were putting it on our box spring. I didn’t feel like we were being rough at all (putting a cover on your box spring is very clumsy). I don’t think this was a very expensive version so I wasn’t upset. We just used some duct tape to cover the hole. *Verified purchase, originally submitted on the AllergyStore storefront.

This is a durable hospital mattress cover for someone who does not pick at the cover

The relative I purchased it for had a habit of running his fingernail down the mattress and mattress covers at night. If it weren't for this issue, the cover would have been very durable. But even with nails trimmed short, my relative tore a slit in the mattress cover the very first night and the second night tore the cover open. The vinyl made it a bit more difficult to roll my relative to the sides to do diaper and draw sheet changes.

BedBug Solution™ Vinyl Mattress or Box Spring Encasement

The experience was horrible with your company I bought 2 covers and one ripped right away. The other I tryed to sent back but couldn't because shipping it back costs more than the product. It's not right how you charge shipping for the purchase itself and then to return an item as well. Most companies provide shipping or at very leat free returns. Now I'm stuck with a bad product I can't return and out over $50 thanks for nothing ut a waste of time and money!! *Verified purchase, originally submitted on the AllergyStore storefront.

1 Year Review - Do Not Recommend

I wanted to love this! The price was great, it’s waterproof, easy to put on my king size 14” deep mattress, and did not make any noise. Unfortunately after 1 Year (purchased June 4, 2022), it has not held up with several rips/tears. I am looking for a replacement, and 10/10 will NOT be a repeat customer. Might work well for a guest bed, but definitely not suited for regular/daily use.

Ripped apart w gentle handling

A 16 inch bag going on a 13 inch mattress and it completely ripped apart at the zipper. The zipper pull came right off and the sides tore like wet tissue paper. One obvious problem, other than very cheap materials, is that the zipper is too short- that is, the opening is not wide enough to fit a 13 inch mattress even though it was a 16 inch bag. Definitely regret the purchase.
