New Invention: Bed Bug Resistant Beds

The Oregonian Bulletin informs us of a new bed bug related invention that is patent pending: the Bed Bug Resistant Bed.

The full article is available here. The bed frame is made of metal that is coated with an extra slippery top coat. The legs are splayed to make it impossible to push the mattress up against the wall and the mattress is covered in vinyl.

It is gaining popularity in low income housing just through word of mouth. It makes sense for many uses, such as homeless shelters and youth hostels as well.
