More often than not, the sides of the air mattress are made using smooth material. Unlike wood or mattress fabric that has microscopic fibers and grippy texture, those smooth sides aren’t easy for bed bugs to climb and bite you.
Can bed bugs climb on air mattress?
Bedbugs can get on an air mattress. The tiny creatures can get on any type of mattress. However, with an air mattress, bed bugs can only get on the surface mainly because of how these types of mattresses are constructed. Air mattresses are mostly constructed with polyvinyl chloride (PVC).
What can I put on my mattress to keep bedbugs away?
Essential oils such as clove, lavender, lemongrass, peppermint, thyme, and cinnamon can be used as an additional step to prevent future infestations. Dilute the essential oils with water and spray on your mattress. Bed bugs can’t stand the strong smell of these essential oils.
