I have just spent the morning putting new vinyl covers on all the mattresses and box springs - the six inch heavy gauge vinyl which is supposed to be waterproof and bedbug proof. Now the beds are like a layer cake - vinyl cover on mattress, feather or fiber topper on top of vinyl cover, waterproof membrane-type mattress cover over that and regular mattress cover on top of that. No one is sleeping directly on any plastic, even just under the sheet..

Pardon my hysterical giggling here, but this sounds like princess and the pea bedding! And, did you mean 6 mil, rather than 6 inches, cuz you're gonna need a ladder to get into that bed!

Must have been a freudian slip since I feel like I just had the princess/pea guest here
. Yes, it's actually 6 mil rather than 3 mil.
I want to open the windows to get rid of the vinyl smell also, but we are started into the rain now.

I was wondering how people did those feather beds. I could not see having to wash THOSE every couple of weeks or more. Do you put a thin mattress cover over that? Not a think one, right?
I took my nephews up into the attic to see what's up there and I have all the duvets stored there for now. One nephew leaned on the pile of them and said, 'You should put these on the beds.' I told him I do in the winter but now people kick them onto the floor. He said, 'Not on top, right in the bed, these are so comfy!' There ya go then. 13 yo and he knows comfy!
You must have to have really deep fitted sheets to do the feather beds.
