Mosticare Cubo Due — Double Bed Mosquito Net
A clean, certified canopy above a double 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 double 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, 560 g packed, three-year effective lifecycle — double-bed protection for two without sprays, plug-ins, or airborne chemistry in the room.
European master bedrooms — the shared bed in a Provence farmhouse, an Athens apartment, a Puglia masseria, a Girona townhouse — are now on the front line of the Asian tiger mosquito's northward expansion. The Mosticare Cubo Due is a mosquito net for double bed use, engineered as a clean, architectural canopy that drops over the bed frame and turns eight hours of shared sleep into a certified physical barrier. No aerosol sprays. No plug-in diffusers. No smouldering coils. No airborne chemistry in the room where two people breathe all night.
What this net is, exactly
The Cubo Due is a parallelepipedic double-bed canopy measuring 200 × 180 × 180 cm (L × W × H) — sized precisely to the European standard double mattress with full 1.8-metre headroom above the pillows. 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 Due 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 560 g inside a recycled-cotton sachet (packaging carton 290 × 245 × 100 mm), luggage-ready or off-season-ready. 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 Due 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 — doubly so over a bed where two people sleep eight hours a night. The permethrin impregnated into the Cubo Due's fibre reinforces the barrier at the point of contact, bound into the yarn at a deliberately minimal dose and never diffused through the room, so the barrier does its job while the air the couple breathes stays chemistry-free.
Who it's for
The Cubo Due is for couples and double-bed households in tiger-mosquito territory: married and partnered sleepers in primary bedrooms, guests in a matrimonial room of a guesthouse or gîte, renters in a one-bedroom flat along the Mediterranean coast, second-home owners in the hills of southern France, Spain, Italy, Greece, or Portugal. It also travels well — the 560 g packed weight remains suitcase-ready for a month's stay in a tropical bedroom or a long guesthouse run through Southeast Asia.
Single sleepers should instead pick the Mosticare Cubo Uno (single bed canopy). Larger beds — European king-size or super-king — should step up to the Mosticare Cubo Tre. Households heading into a malaria-endemic region for fieldwork or trekking should consider the Mosticare Traccia travel wedge or Domo Pop freestanding dome.
How to use it well
The Cubo Due is designed to install in minutes and look after itself for three years of normal use.
- 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 double bed.
- Fully tuck the hem under the mattress on both sides, 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.

- WHO-prequalified long-lasting insecticidal net (LLIN) — the Cubo Due 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 Due safe for two people to sleep under every night?
Will it fit a standard European double bed?
Does the canopy feel claustrophobic over a double bed?
Can we take the Cubo Due travelling?
Mosticare exists to protect people from the world's deadliest animal without poisoning the room in which they sleep. The Cubo Due is a quiet, certified way to do that for a shared bed — at home, abroad, or anywhere the mosquito has reached the two of you first. Hang one above the bed and make the decision once.
