I started using those zippered non-permeable covers on my pillows and mattresses in the early 90's. They weren't cheap, but at the time I was trying to figure out why my eyes were getting red at night. The bug stories made me easy prey. Figured out the problem was my new laundry detergent but since hearing the critter stories I've continued using the covers.
-Use bed & pillow covers.
-Get rid of throws.
-Wash bedding at least once a week in hot (130*f) water (with bleach).
