Installing your mattress and box spring encasement is simple and takes only a few minutes. Simply follow these easy steps:

1. Have a partner to help you install the encasement. Installing an encasement alone can stress the zipper end stops on each side.
2. Starting at the head of the bed, unzip the encasement and gather the fabric to locate the top two end corners of the encasement.
3. Align the corners of the encasement with the corners of the mattress. ( Figure 1 )
4. Together with a partner, lift each side of the end of the mattress and rest it on the knee and begin to slide the encasement onto the mattress toward the bottom of the bed. ( Figure 2 )
5. Carefully slide the encasement, inch by inch, down the length of the mattress, avoiding stress on the zipper end stop.
6. Zip the cover completely around the mattress and lock the “Zipper with the Hook”^®. ( Figure 3 )
7. For additional security, insert the Zip-Tie into the Loop and secure to ensure tamperproof encasements. ( Figure 4 )
8. Repeat these instructions for the box spring encasement (or you may lift the box spring on its end and the encasement may be pulled down the length of the box spring) and lock with “Zipper with the Hook”^®.
