    A bedbug proof mattress cover. Order it today. Doesn’t matter what sort of life you live, anyone can get them and it’s a horror show.

      I already had one, but thank you for subtly reinforcing my irrational fear given I have never known a single person in my area who has ever gotten bed bugs. One can never be too safe…

        It’s one of the worst things that’s ever happened to me. I still have the pest control service come every month and check even though it’s been a year and it’s always fine.

            Thank you kindly. Every time I feel something brush against my skin, every itch I have, every sock fluff I see on the floor and I’m traumatized again.

              This is one of my biggest fears in life. Bugs creep me the hell out, I already have sleeping troubles, and I know I’d be wrecked by little bastards biting me in bed.

              I can’t believe nobody has come up with a simple solution to this yet.

                Me neither. They’re insidious. I swear I had what’s called delusional parasitosis for a bit as a result, and I caught it early and it was quickly resolved. I’m still running all my clothes and bedding through the dryer once every six weeks or so. I know I’m nuts but the feeling will take a long time to dissipate.

                    Oh bless you for saying that. That makes me feel a lot better. I’m still very much in the crazed phase at this moment.

      And it’s good for more than just bed bugs - Mattresses are one of the more expenses items in your home (at least they are if you’ve got your priorities right), and all it takes is one accident (whether pet, child, or drunk spouse) to completely ruin it
