I don’t really have an experience with bed bugs but are you sure it’s bed bugs? Not a mosquito or maybe fleas?

Hi if it is bed bugs then often a specialist is needed to deal with them as they are hard to get rid of. x

How have you managed to get them, they are quite rare now here in the UK

You may need to get pest control to clear them out.

I would prefer to change the base and mattress. Memory Foam may help also if possible get a bed base with wooden slats.

Have you had the bed for a long time, or did you purchase or be given the bed.

They live in wood frames and box springs. Get bed bug protectors and put the mattress in one and box spring in another. If they can't get in they can't get out either. But before putting them in and zipping them up dust them with diatamatious earth you can get at any hardware store. If you live in the states go to Lowe's and get the big jug about $15 its blue comes with a trigger spray that goes on it and it's made by Bayer. It does bed bugs, spiders, fleas , cockroaches etc. You can spray it on the carpet, walls, furniture and let it dry. Where ever you are getting bit look for a nest to be on it or under it. I have had them brought to my house by family members and I can't afford an exterminator. My anxiety was through the roof and I was the only one getting bit so until I found the nest I was labeled "crazy". If you would like to privately discuss this pm me I will listen and give you feed back as much as I can. Good luck and gentle hugs you can get through this!!
