Heat Retention in Clothes & Mattresses

5 min read · Flare Bed Bug Blog

One of the most common questions we get: "Will the heat actually reach inside my mattress?" It's a fair concern. Different materials absorb and retain heat differently. Here's what actually happens during treatment.

Thin vs. Thick Materials

A t-shirt reaches lethal temperature in minutes. A pillow-top mattress takes longer - the insulation that keeps you comfortable also slows heat penetration. That's why professional treatments maintain high temperatures for extended periods.

Why Treatment Time Matters

We don't just heat your space and leave. We maintain lethal temperatures long enough for heat to penetrate every material - mattresses, couches, furniture, clothing in drawers. Our sensors monitor the coldest spots to ensure nothing survives.

Complete Penetration, Complete Elimination

This is why heat treatment works where sprays fail. Chemicals can't reach inside your mattress. Heat can - and does. Every fiber, every fold, every seam reaches lethal temperature.
