You can't. Whatever sort of mattress you have, if bedbugs decide to crawl into your bed you can't stop them doing so.

Do mattress covers stop bedbug infestations?
There are many nasty chemical treatments you can use, however heat is the only chemical free and assured way to kill bed bugs. I mean LOTS of heat. Isolate the mattress (as the little nasties will contaminate everything from curtains to carpets to clothes) and anything else that has come in contact with it. Put any bedsheets in a plastic sealed bag and throw them in the bin or wash in boiling water. Tape up windows and any cracks or crevaces in the room and steam the buggers! Often if the infestation is severe, the best treatment is to dispose of the mattress and steam treat the room itself. Vacuums will transport eggs/larvae so dont use it or you are just spreading the problem.
How do you keep bugs out of your room?
Not much. They are in the bedding, the pillow, and the mattress (and elsewhere), so you would have to buy new sheets and a new bed...and that will only work for a moment or two as the bedbugs will return.
