Dust mite and bed bug spray isn't safe for use on all mattresses — here's why

A person uses dust mite spray on an infested mattress.

Dust mites and bed bugs are very different pests, but no one wants either inside their mattress. These prolific pests can be very hard to eradicate if they get a grip on your bedding, which is why many people turn to dust mite and bed bug sprays. But are these damaging to your mattress?

Here we tell you all about using dust mite and bed bug sprays on mattresses, helping you to weigh the risks and decide what's right for your bed. If you do feel your mattress is beyond saving, we’d recommend keeping an eye on the upcoming Memorial Day mattress sales as many of this year's best mattresses for all sleepers will be dropping in price.
