The Health Guard Barrier Guard is a full encasement that protects a mattress or a box spring. It zips completely around the unit on all six sides, sealing it from spills and bed bugs. One cover does the job for either piece, so you can protect just your mattress, just your box spring, or both for a complete sleep surface.
What the Barrier Guard Does
A standard fitted protector covers only the top and sides of a mattress. The Barrier Guard is different. It is a 360 degree encasement with a self-locking zipper, so once it is closed nothing gets in and nothing already inside can get out. That matters in particular for anyone managing or preventing bed bugs, where a sealed encasement is a core part of the plan.
The membrane backing is waterproof, so the cover guards against spills, sweat, and accidents. Health Guard finishes it with their NO-MITE fabric.
Is a Full Encasement Good for Allergies?
The Barrier Guard zips closed on all six sides and has a waterproof membrane backing. If you have allergies, ask your doctor whether an encasement belongs in your plan.

Fit, Installation, and Care
Choose the encasement that matches the size of the piece you are covering, whether that is your mattress or your box spring. To install, slide the encasement over the unit and zip it closed. On a mattress, put your fitted sheet on top as usual. On a box spring, set the mattress back on top once the encasement is zipped. The exterior can be wiped clean.
Completing Your Bed Protection
- Mattress: Encase the mattress to seal the surface you sleep on.
- Box spring: Encase the foundation too, since bed bugs hide there as well.
- Moving a used bed in: Encasing both pieces before use is the cleanest approach.

Advice for Brantford Families With Allergies
We hear from a lot of families in Brantford and the surrounding areas, Paris, St. George, and Mount Pleasant, dealing with seasonal or year-round allergies. A full encasement will not cure allergies, so ask your doctor what will help. We have been recommending Health Guard because the quality has been consistent and the zipper holds up over years of use.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Barrier Guard fit a mattress or a box spring?
Both. The Barrier Guard is a universal encasement that fits either a mattress or a box spring up to 16 inches deep. Choose the size that matches the piece you are covering. For complete protection, many customers encase both.
What sizes and depth does it fit?
It comes in Twin, Double, Queen, and King, and fits a mattress or box spring up to 16 inches deep.
Is it waterproof?
Yes. The Barrier Guard has a waterproof membrane backing that blocks spills and moisture. Because it relies on a waterproof membrane rather than a woven mesh, it does not carry a micron pore rating. If you want a breathable cover with no waterproof layer, call us and we can point you to a breathable option.
Does it stop bed bugs?
Yes. The full 6-sided design and self-locking zipper trap any bed bugs already inside so they cannot escape, and block new ones from entering. For an active infestation, use encasements on both the mattress and box spring and consult a pest professional.
What is the warranty?
The Health Guard Barrier Guard carries a 2-year warranty.
