Mosticare Cubo, Box-Canopy Mosquito Net
A clean, certified box canopy, in three bed sizes.
- 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-standard box-canopy mosquito net for European bedrooms, a parallelepipedic enclosure that drops over the bed frame and tensions from four corners into a clean rectangle. Factory-impregnated polyester mesh at 156-count density, three-year effective lifecycle, available in three sizes: Cubo Uno for single beds, Cubo Due for double beds, and Cubo Tre for king beds. Bedroom protection without sprays, plug-ins, or airborne chemistry in the room.
European bedrooms, the single room in a student hall, the shared bed in a Provence farmhouse, the master suite of a Tuscan country house, are now on the front line of the Asian tiger mosquito's northward expansion. The Mosticare Cubo is a mosquito net for the bed, engineered as a clean, architectural canopy that drops over the frame and turns eight hours of sleep into a certified physical barrier across the full width of the mattress. It comes in three sizes for single, double, and king beds. No aerosol sprays. No plug-in diffusers. No smouldering coils. No airborne chemistry in the room where a household breathes all night.
What this net is, exactly
The Cubo is a parallelepipedic bed canopy that drops over the existing frame or suspends from four corner attachment points, tensioning into a clean rectangular enclosure that fully contains the mattress while allowing free airflow through the weave. It is made in three sizes: Cubo Uno at 200 × 90 × 180 cm for single beds, Cubo Due at 200 × 180 × 180 cm for double beds, and Cubo Tre at 200 × 220 × 200 cm for king and super-king beds.
The mesh is knitted from durable 75-denier polyester at a 156-count density (25 holes per cm²), the structural specification used across the WHO long-lasting-net category. 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, so the treatment stays locked into the fibre, does not leach meaningfully onto skin, and does not release into the air of the room.
The Cubo is WHO-standard as a long-lasting insecticidal net and authorized for European Union market release under the EU Biocidal Products Regulation (authorization EU 0026815-0000 2035). Colour: soft off-white. Every Cubo ships with the canopy, a recycled-cotton carry sachet, 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'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.
Which size is for you
Cubo Uno is sized for the European standard single mattress (200 × 90 cm) and is the right fit for a child's room, a student hall, a guest bedroom, an attic flat, or a single sleeper in a second home along the coast. At 425 g packed it slides into a daypack as a credible travel net too.
Cubo Due is sized for the European standard double mattress (200 × 180 cm) and is the most-ordered size in the range, the workhorse for couples, primary bedrooms, guesthouse matrimonial rooms, and Mediterranean holiday rentals. At 560 g it stays suitcase-ready for a long stay.
Cubo Tre is sized for European king and super-king mattresses (200 × 220 cm) with a full 2.0-metre headroom, for master suites in primary homes, boutique hotels, and high-end villas. If you'd prefer a single-point conical drop rather than a rectangular box, the Mosticare Rondo is the better silhouette; for malaria-endemic travel, the Mosticare Traccia wedge or Domo Pop dome are purpose-built for the road.
How to use it well
The Cubo is designed to install in minutes and look after itself for three years of normal use, in whichever size you choose.
- Drop the canopy over an existing four-poster frame or suspend it from four ceiling or corner hooks; the architecture tensions from the corners into a clean rectangle over the whole mattress.
- Fully tuck the hem under the mattress on both sides, or allow it to puddle to the floor around the bed frame for a more theatrical aesthetic.
- Inspect the mesh visually at the start of each summer season; repair small damage with the Mosticare Net Repair Kit.
- Don't wash it, by design. In normal use the mesh doesn't get dirty, it just ages. Washing strips permethrin out of the fibre and into wastewater, which harms aquatic life and weakens the protection you bought. When the net reaches the end of its protective life, replace it rather than washing it.
- 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.

Before you decide.
Should I choose Cubo Uno, Due, or Tre?
Is the Cubo safe to sleep under every night?
Does the permethrin smell, stain, or transfer onto the bedding?
Will the Cubo fit my bed, and can I travel with it?
Mosticare exists to protect people from the world's deadliest animal without poisoning the room in which they sleep. The Cubo is a quiet, certified way to do that over the bed that matters, single, double, or king, at home, in a holiday villa, or anywhere the mosquito has reached you first. Hang one above the bed and make the decision once.
