The biting truth 

Bugs are more than annoying. Some of them, like mosquitos, carry disease, and using bug sprays, while effective, aren’t the safest for your skin or our environment. Mosquitos nets are a natural way to keeps bugs off you. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends nets with a minimum of 154 holes per square inch to ensure the worst of the bugs are kept at bay. One of the reasons Even Naturals bed canopy mosquito net is so effective is because it has nearly twice the number of recommended holes per square inch - 300. This keeps even smaller insects out. But the beautiful, soft mesh material is light enough to allow airflow and not overheat you as you sleep.

Other perks of the Even Naturals mosquito net is the unique hanging system that lets you hang a light inside the net over your bed. You can also adjust the length. This net fits over any size bed, including California kings, and has duo entrances so you can get in bed from either side.
