SureGuard is the closest rival to our top pick and the better choice when depth matters. Instead of one stretch size, each bed size comes in four depth ranges, from 6 to 8 inches up to 17 to 20 inches, so a tall hybrid or pillow top can get a tight fit without strain on the zipper. SureGuard says its super fine zipper with Invisi-Zip and SureSeal technology seals the mattress off from bed bugs, and that the bite-proof membrane also keeps bugs already inside from escaping. The top is 100% cotton terry over TPU backing on all six sides, and the brand lists the cover as independently lab tested and GREENGUARD Gold certified. A queen in the 13 to 16 inch depth was $64.97 on sale when we checked, down from $99.95, with free shipping and a 10-year free replacement warranty. SureGuard advises keeping the mattress sealed for at least a year in a bed bug case.
