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.

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.

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.
