According to this news story, one of the most bug-infested cities in the country is in Cincinnati, prompting residents and business leaders to campaign for more proactive awareness in the hopes of reducing and fighting off this…sucky problem. For instance, thrift stores have started refusing used mattresses or stuffed furniture and there is always a constant need to spray products for their own safety.

“I spray blankets, all coats, socks, I spray everything.””While many people believe that if your furniture is really infested with bedbugs, the only choice is to throw it out, experts are now saying you may not have to go quite that far, there are some options.”

It’s a known fact that college dorms could be infested with bed bugs because of the nature and lifestyle kids live there. And while hotel dorm administration take measures to rid the premises of bug infestation, it is admittedly a problem that will not go away.

Just recently, one student in New York claimed to have been attacked by dormitory bed bugs and even took photos of the bite marks to prove this. Worse, these bite marks has trigged an asthma attack. She is filing a lawsuit and suing the hotel dormitory but the company’s president claims that there is not a single hotel in the city that doesn’t have this problem. They have since fumigated the hotel rooms after this incident.

Ah, the bed bug problem. It’s a perpetual dilemma. Hence mattress manufacturers continuously come up with all kinds of products to fight these off. But are these new products really able to rid of bed bugs? The visco-memory foam mattresses, for instance, with its more advanced composition than a regular mattress, promises to at least be bed bug free. But is it really?

NBC News has some revealing information, in an interview with Dini M. Miller, PhD of virginia Tech’s Urban Pest Management:

Can bedbugs also live in visco-memory foam beds? I have read some claims online that say that the bedbugs cannot get into the foam beds?

With today’s technology, mattress design has never been more improved and innovative that consumers are now able to find a wide range of mattress selection, that suits every person’s budget. Each mattress design is featured differently but they all belong to at least five basic categories.

Pocket Springs
Made with individual springs in their own fabric pockets. The separation works to adjust to a person’s body weight better.

Open Springs
It’s the most common design, with machine stitched sides and border rods to keep the mattress in full form.

At 13oz, this product, a gel substance, promises to be an effective deterrent against bed bugs. Simply applying this to the legs of your furniture (bed, table, side tables, chairs and sofas) to disallow bugs from crawling onto them.Its priced at $6.99. and exclusively sold at the BedBugSystems

The hotel and hospitality industry is often plagued with bed bug problems and discovering new and better solutions to solve this crisis is always a welcome one. Here is one product the industry can have a lot of use from —  the SterilMattress Cleaning System.

Adirondack Towels and Scrubs has teamed with Texas company SterilMattress to offer an affordable solution - the SterilMattress Mattress Cleaning System.

Included in the SterilMattress kit is a powerful, yet extremely quiet (67 decibel) portable vacuum, endorsed by the American Lung Association. It’s equipped with a multi-layered filtration system to capture 99.7% of particulates greater than .3 microns.

Short for beverages, entertainment and dining, the B.E.D. restaurant located in Miami Florida is offbeat and unique for one thing — a superb dining experience, while the customer is lying or reclined on the bed. They give new meaning to the phrase, “breakfast in bed”, huh? Clients are asked to dress appropriately, though…no pajamas allowed despite the restaurant’s central theme.

What I wonder though is…what kind of mattresses do they have here and how bed bug free is it?
