Mosticare Cubo Uno — Single Bed Mosquito Net
A clean, certified canopy above a single bed.
- Factory-impregnated permethrin — bound into the fibre, never sprayed
- Three-year effective lifecycle under normal use
- Ships with recycled-cotton carry sachet and deployment card
A WHO-prequalified mosquito net for single bed use, factory-impregnated with permethrin and engineered as a clean architectural physical barrier against the Asian tiger mosquito. Polyester mesh at 156-count density, 425 g packed, three-year effective lifecycle — bedroom protection without sprays, plug-ins, or airborne chemistry in the room.
European single-bed rooms — student halls, guest bedrooms, attic flats, second homes along the Mediterranean coast — are now on the front line of the Asian tiger mosquito's northward expansion. The Mosticare Cubo Uno is a mosquito net for single bed use, engineered as a clean, architectural canopy that drops over the bed frame and turns eight hours of sleep into a certified physical barrier. No aerosol sprays. No plug-in diffusers. No smouldering coils. No airborne chemistry in the air a household breathes.
What this net is, exactly
The Cubo Uno is a parallelepipedic single-bed canopy measuring 200 × 90 × 180 cm (L × W × H) — sized precisely to the European standard single mattress with full 1.8-metre headroom above the pillow. Its mesh is knitted from durable 75-denier polyester at a 156-count density (25 holes per cm²), a weave that stops mosquitoes on contact while allowing full airflow through the enclosure.
The fibre is factory-impregnated with permethrin at 9 g/kg (0.9% w/w) — a WHO-recommended pyrethroid bound into the yarn during manufacture rather than sprayed onto the surface. The Cubo Uno is WHO-prequalified as a long-lasting insecticidal net and authorized for European Union market release under the EU Biocidal Products Regulation (authorization EU 0026815-0000 2035). That treatment does not wash out, does not leach meaningfully onto skin, and does not release into the air of the room.
Packed weight is 425 g inside a 250 × 290 mm recycled-cotton sachet, small enough to slide into a daypack. Deployment is instant: the canopy drops over the existing bed frame or suspends from four corner attachment points, tensioning into a clean rectangular enclosure. Colour: soft off-white. Every Cubo Uno ships with a recycled-cotton carry pouch, a quick-start deployment card, a Mosticare three-year lifecycle card, and an invitation to the Mosticare community.
Why a physical barrier is the right approach
For decades, the mosquito-protection aisle has offered one answer in European homes: chemistry inside the room. Aerosol sprays, scented candles, plug-in diffusers, coil-burners. Household products that, at best, fail to reliably stop the mosquito and, at worst, release active chemistry into the air of a bedroom for hours on end. The EU Biocidal Products Regulation is steadily tightening what chemistry can sit next to a sleeping person, and for good reason.
A bed canopy is the clean alternative. It is a physical barrier that stops the mosquito at the mesh and puts no chemistry into the air you breathe. The permethrin impregnated into the Cubo Uno's fibre reinforces that barrier at the point of contact — bound into the yarn at a deliberately minimal dose, not diffused through the room — so the barrier does its job while the air stays chemistry-free.
Who it's for
The Cubo Uno is for anyone sleeping alone in a European single bed in tiger-mosquito territory: students in halls of residence, guests in a spare room, renters in attic or studio flats, retirees and second-home owners along the southern coasts, and long-stay guests in a seasonal rental. It also works as a credible travel option — the 425 g packed weight and backpack-sized sachet make it a valid companion for a tropical bedroom, a guesthouse in Southeast Asia, or a long-stay rental in Latin America.
Couples and double-bed households should instead pick the Mosticare Cubo Due. For a king mattress, step up to the Mosticare Cubo Tre. If you're heading into a malaria-endemic region and want purpose-built field gear, the Mosticare Traccia travel wedge or Domo Pop freestanding dome are engineered for the road.
How to use it well
The Cubo Uno is designed to install in minutes and look after itself for three years of normal use.
- Drop the canopy over an existing four-poster or suspend it from four ceiling or corner hooks; the architecture tensions from the corners into a clean rectangle.
- Fully tuck the hem under the mattress, or allow it to puddle to the floor around the bed frame.
- Inspect the mesh visually at the start of each summer season; repair small damage with the Mosticare Net Repair Kit.
- Wash on a cool, gentle cycle with mild detergent; follow the WHO long-lasting-net guidance of no more than 20 washes over the net's useful life; air-dry in shade, never tumble-dry.
- Pack down into the recycled-cotton sachet for travel or off-season storage.
- Expect a three-year effective protection lifecycle under normal household use, and longer with careful handling.

- WHO-prequalified long-lasting insecticidal net (LLIN) — the Cubo Uno carries current listing on the World Health Organization Prequalification programme for vector control, the gold-standard specification referenced by the WHO, UNICEF, and the Global Fund.
- EU Biocidal Products Regulation (BPR) — authorization EU 0026815-0000 2035 — the product is formally authorized for market release across the European Union as a treated article, with the dossier maintained for permethrin as the active substance.
- 156-count mesh / 25 holes per cm² — the structural mesh density used across the WHO long-lasting-net category for mosquito bite prevention.
- 75-denier polyester fibre, independently tested — for seam strength, mesh integrity, and wash resistance across the full three-year lifecycle.
Before you decide.
Is the Cubo Uno safe to sleep under every night?
Does the permethrin smell, stain, or transfer onto the bedding?
Can I take the Cubo Uno travelling?
Will it fit my single bed?
Mosticare exists to protect people from the world's deadliest animal without poisoning the room in which they sleep. The Cubo Uno is a quiet, certified way to do that for a single bed — at home, abroad, or anywhere the mosquito has reached you first. Hang one above the bed and make the decision once.
