Years ago, my dad and I switched beds because I wouldn't stop growing. His bed was longer.... and infested with bed bugs. (They sure enjoyed having me for dinner for several nights. At first I just thought I had a rash).
Forget about trying to save the mattress. You'll never get all the little critters. And the ones you miss are just likely to reproduce.
Toss the entire bed. Mattress, box-spring, frame, head-board; all of it! Fumigate the home. Replace with a new bed. Yeah, it's not cheap. But it's the only way you'll completely get rid of the problem. Otherwise, they'll be back!
Also, just to clarify, all homes have bugs. Sometimes the problem becomes big. And the solution requires drastic action.
