What do you think of when you hear the name bed bugs?  Do you cringe?  I sure do!  That is one thing I worry about when staying at a hotel, those creepy crawly things that are so hard to get rid of.  It makes me itch thinking of it.  Once something becomes infested with bed bugs, the best thing to do is get rid of it and fast!  Bedding is expensive, so getting rid of it might not be an option for some, so you go to a less costly alternative.  That is where Allergy Luxe Premium Bed Bug Barrier products come in.  They are sold exclusively at Bed, Bath and Beyond stores.

Allergy Luxe products have a lifetime limited warranty, are lab tested, dermatologist recommended, waterproof, hypo-allergenic, machine wash and dry, and are made of a very soft, luxurious fabric.  They also have a patented shield to protect from bacteria, mold and mildew and are impenetrable against bed bugs. The bed bug pillow protector sells for $14.99-$19.99 each.

Would you like to know a little about bed bugs?  Fair warning- this will make your skin crawl!  They feed mainly off human blood, you may not notice any symptoms at all for days after contact, symptoms usually include swelling and itchiness, bites appear in a line of about 2-3 bites, they lay about 5 eggs per day, they can survive up to one year without a meal!  Eeewwww!  Infestations are most common in mattresses and box springs, the infestation can take up to three months to notice, and they are very difficult to eliminate. 

I think this is a very good idea and it's not only good for protecting against bed bugs, but allergies as well.  The fabric is super soft and feels good against your skin.  The zipper is easy to open and close and it washes nicely also.  One thing I don't like is that it is white.  It would be nice if it came in different colors and patterns, but then again, you can cover it will a pillow case.  The price isn't bad either, and you don't have to worry about your pillow getting wet because it's waterproof.  I would give this product two thumbs up.
