BedBug Solution™ Hybrid Zippered Mattress Encasement - Stretch-To-Fit 9"–12" | Waterproof & Bed Bug Proof

- PFAS-Free Certified
- Snell Scientifics Tested
- USFCR / SAM Approved
Hybrid vs. Elite: Which Encasement Is Right?
Both are certified bed bug proof with the patented BugStop® Seal. The difference is in how waterproofing is distributed and how each fits.
BedBug Solution™ Hybrid
- Waterproof top + upper sides — bottom breathes
- Stretch-to-fit: one SKU covers 9"–12" depth
- Ideal where mattress depths vary across inventory
- Breathable knit base — improved airflow
- Lighter weight — easier housekeeping handling
- 6 sizes: Twin through Cal King
BedBug Solution™ Elite
- Waterproof on all 6 sides — full perimeter barrier
- Fixed-depth sizing: 6", 9", 12", 16" options
- Ideal where fluid protection on all sides is required
- Hospital Twin & XL sizes available
- Preferred for healthcare & incontinence risk settings
- 7 depths available including institutional specs
If your property runs a mixed mattress inventory (some 9.5", some 11", some 12") and you want to stock one SKU that fits all of them — choose the Hybrid. If you need waterproof protection on the bottom panel as well (healthcare, incontinence, or institutional housing) — choose the Elite.
The Patented BugStop® Seal — Why It Matters
Standard mattress encasements have a zipper gap. Where the zipper ends, a small opening remains — and bed bugs, which can pass through an opening as thin as a credit card, exploit exactly that gap. The BugStop® Seal (U.S. Patent No. 8,413,276) eliminates it.
- Entry-proof. Patented zipper tunnel design prevents bed bugs from entering the encasement — protecting a clean mattress from outside infestation.
- Exit-proof. If an infestation already exists inside the mattress, bed bugs cannot escape to reach guests — containing the problem and enabling controlled treatment.
- Bite-proof. The encasement fabric and closure system are independently tested to prevent bed bug bites through the material — not just containment.
- Rust-proof self-locking commercial zipper. Engineered for repeated commercial laundering. The zipper cannot accidentally open under laundering stress or guest movement.

The BedBug Solution™ Hybrid is certified PFAS-Free — containing no per- or polyfluoroalkyl substances. As hotel brands and property management groups respond to ESG reporting requirements and guest health concerns, PFAS-free bedding is increasingly required in brand standards. This encasement meets that mandate without compromising protective performance.

How does 6-sided encapsulation improve ROI on mattress assets?
A mattress encasement protects the investment from two directions simultaneously. On the infestation side: if bed bugs are introduced into a room, an encasement containing them prevents cross-room spread — containing a $200 problem rather than allowing a $5,000 multi-room treatment scenario. On the asset side: encasements prevent fluid damage, staining, and allergen accumulation that shorten mattress lifespan. Industry data consistently shows protected mattresses last 3–5× longer than unprotected mattresses in high-turn environments.
Will the breathable membrane affect guest comfort?
No — and this is specifically why the Hybrid uses a stretch knit laminated to a microscopic polyurethane membrane rather than a vinyl barrier. The membrane pores are large enough to allow water vapor (heat and perspiration) to escape while being too small for liquid water, dust mites, or bed bug passage. Guests sleeping on the Hybrid with a fitted sheet on top notice no difference in comfort, temperature, or noise. The BugStop® Seal zipper is also positioned and designed so guests don't feel it during sleep.
Why is the BugStop® Seal necessary — can't any zippered cover do the job?
No. Standard zipper closures leave a gap at the point where the zipper terminates. Bed bugs can pass through an opening as thin as 1.5mm — thinner than a credit card. In a standard encasement, that zipper end gap is the entry and exit point that renders the rest of the protection moot. The BugStop® Seal (U.S. Patent No. 8,413,276) uses a patented tunnel closure design that physically blocks that gap. This is why independent lab certification matters — it verifies the zipper closure, not just the fabric.
Is this product compliant with USFCR and government procurement mandates?
Yes. Bargoose is a verified vendor in the U.S. System for Award Management (SAM), which is required for federal contract eligibility. This means government agencies, military installations, VA medical centers, and federal housing programs can procure Bargoose products directly through compliant purchasing channels. Duty Bunk sizes are available for government and military housing specifications. Contact our commercial team for procurement documentation.
What is the difference between the Hybrid and the Elite?
The core difference is waterproof coverage and depth flexibility. The Hybrid provides waterproof protection on the top and upper sides of the mattress, with a breathable stretch knit base — and its stretch-to-fit design accommodates any mattress 9"–12" deep with one SKU. The Elite provides waterproof protection on all six sides including the full bottom panel, and comes in fixed-depth sizes (6", 9", 12", 16") to match specific mattress depths precisely. For mixed-depth hospitality inventories wanting simplified procurement, the Hybrid is typically preferred. For healthcare settings with incontinence risk or maximum fluid protection requirements, the Elite is recommended.
What does PFAS-free mean and why does it matter for hospitality?
PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are synthetic chemicals used in some waterproofing treatments that don't break down in the environment — hence the term "forever chemicals." Several U.S. states have enacted or are enacting restrictions on PFAS in textiles and consumer products. Many hotel brands and property management groups are proactively eliminating PFAS-containing products from their supply chains to meet ESG goals and guest health commitments. The BedBug Solution™ Hybrid is certified PFAS-free, meaning the waterproof barrier achieves its performance through a PFAS-free polyurethane membrane rather than fluorochemical treatments.
How do I launder the Hybrid encasement commercially?
Machine wash warm, tumble dry medium. The Hybrid is engineered for commercial laundering — the stretch knit construction, BugStop® Seal zipper, and polyurethane membrane are all designed to maintain performance through repeated industrial washing cycles. Do not use bleach, which can degrade the membrane over time. The self-locking zipper should be closed before laundering. For high-frequency laundering programs, inspect the zipper seal and seam integrity quarterly as part of your bedding protection audit.
What is the minimum order quantity?
The Hybrid is sold in case packs of 6 units for commercial accounts. Individual units may be available for sample evaluation — contact the Bargoose commercial team at Request a Quote or call (516) 255-1736 to discuss your program requirements, volume pricing, and par count recommendations.
