What is the difference between the box spring cover and the mattress cover?

I think that the box spring cover is just all the same fabric and that the mattress cover has a bit of a padded fabric on top. Otherwise, they are just the same.

i believe a big difference is the mattress cover is terry cloth and the box spring is not?

The box spring is great material that covers the whole box spring with a hidden zipper much better than any other box spring cover I had. The one I had was old and only made of flimsy material. The mattress cover simply covers your mattress. It is very comfortable. I purchased a new mattress and bought a mattress cover for $50.00 and it is not as nice as this one. Hope this helps you.

The box spring cover is an actual zippered pouch that the mattress goes in to prevent bed bugs,etc. You then put the mattress pad over that followed by sheets. Its great for college dorm room.

Remember the box spring is exactly that. It's the shape of a box. Not really any room for slack. And you definitely do not want to tear the cover while putting it on. Mattresses comes in different sizes. I did try to cover a twin box spring with a twin mattress cover but my twin box spring was actually a twin XL. You can try it if it saves you money. I also found that my local Walmart sold mattress covers but not box spring covers..

This protector covers the entire mattress. Top, bottom, and all sides. Additional note-does not cover mattress box spring too.

It does not come with a cover and I never found one that would fit. However, once I put it on my mattress under the mattress pad, it worked just fine. I can't tell that is doesn't have one on it. I had other ones on a different bed that did have the covers. Other than looking at them when you remover your mattress pad, you can't tell the difference. However, if you plan on halling them around for camping or something, then I would buy the one that is twice the price with the cover.

I bought both , I guess the mattress cover is more depth , but there the same , but to be honest I skipped paying $1000 for new mattress using this.

The mattress cover is 12" deep, the box spring encasement is only 9" deep. So, if you have a thinner mattress, it might work fine, they are stretchy. However, someone said the mattress cover is also waterproof. I have only the box spring one so I don't know.

My king bed had 2 box springs so I needed 2 covers. Note they are longer than normal due to being for a king

This cover only goes over the mattress. I haven't found a need for one to go over my box spring at this time.

the box spring and the mattress encasement are manufactured differently (i.e. the top is of different material.) durability would most likely be the same. sleep quality may be different based on the different tops of the encasements. For the mattress it is a cotton terry surface material and for the boxspring it is a durable high-grade polyester surface material

The mattress cover is waterproof, but the boxspring cover does not appear to be.

The thing slides between mattress and box spring. BUT first, you hook the outer end onto your sheet via the two little slots. They work well for us!

No pillow covers -- Just mattress cover. But it also works perfectly for a box spring, too.

The foam bridge's texture keeps it in place. You can remove it as well. We use a topper that also helps keep it in place and helps hide the seam and works great with no problems. We tried the straps around both mattress to keep them from separating and it worked fine but find it's not necessary if your box springs are solid or stiff.

The box spring encasement doesn't have the soft/less noisy top. I'm pretty sure that's the only difference.

The bag fits the mattress only. You need to buy another if you want the box springs covered as well. These bags are so strong you wont be disappointed. Many of the other brands tear when you try to use them. These are tops !

Correct. The mattress cover protects the mattress and helps keep the sheets from wrinkling.

It's the same fabric as traditional box springs. It's a tight fit and challenging to get centered but it works well once you get it on there.

I'm not entirely sure how to answer your question. This would work on the box springs separately from the mattress. It is quite oversized and would fit an extra pillow top, etc. But one cover would likely not fit the box springs and mattresses together.
