You want to buy a mattress encasement AND a box spring encasement to cover both. An encasement surrounds and seals in the mattress/ boxspring. A topper just covers the top.

Make sure you buy the correct size (too loose is less helpful). If you have a futon, buy an encasement specifically for a futon.
