Hi Nancy,
Hopefully this is the help you are looking for.
This appears to be for the thin cloth on the bottom, not sure if your cats destroyed the sides too.

Best to you.
Hi. Boy, angry cats? You can block in the box springs and under the bed with a wooden box. Have the lumber department cut plywood to the lengths you need and nail together. You can paint or stain. Then put a scratching post in the spot where they scratched the most. May help. Good luck.
Buy a couple of scratching posts, since you have more than one cat. Aloha!
You can purchase mattress protectors that totally encase the mattress or box spring. They have a big zipper all the way around so they aren't to difficult to put them on. I think they are made to protect your mattress from bed bugs.

You might put a fitted sheet onto the box springs but you'd have to use a product that sprays on the area and is repulsive to cats. I'm planning on using some when I get a new sofa. Meanwhile, new scratch posts and other scratchy items that are baited with cat nip. Also use a product like Feliway to mellow out those babies.
