A while ago I'd read something regarding bed bugs and mattresses. Bed bugs are a real threat and a great problem with new mattresses that people do not realise is that if your old mattress and new mattress are transported together, they can transfer from one to the other.
I would recommend a mattress pad if you really can't bring in one (though if its new and packaged...) and to change the mattress pad every year.
I would personally inquire if I could bring in a new mattress (maybe even provide proof of purchase) because flipping your mattress every once in a while is quite important for back support etc.
