Ive been battling a problem with bedbugs for about 4 months now.Ive used the bedbug spray,bedliners,i even tried getting new mattresses but nothing seems to work.I spoke with an exterminator and he says it will be around 2000 to treat them,he was the cheapest.I'm just getting back from the emergency room because one crawled in my ear.Seems like i have no choice but to pay up.There goes my taxes  .Does anyone know a treatment that will work  (note-when staying at a friends house or hotel always check for bedbugs)

Buy a steam cleaner! That will kill everything. You could steam clean the entire bedroom (carpets, bed, sheets, pillows etc). Hopefully that would do the trick.

I worked for Hotels and unfortunetly Rena it is a serious problem, they hide in the headboards (behind and under) the railings that hold the box springs,inside the box springs, and sometimes cracks in the walls. That is where they live and breed, they come out to feast at night while you are sleeping, they can smell you and sense the warmth of your body. When we would find them in the Hotel we would have to shut down the whole floor and exterminate. In your case sounds like you have a severe infestation being that not only are they in your bed they are in your closets, dressers, couches and chairs..
Move the head of your bed about six inches from the wall, and remove any headboards and night stands after you have rid them, keep bed raised from the floor on bricks if you have to. Use white sheets you can see them better.
Finding where they live is your answer, it's not just the bed. As blue said, steaming everything is the best, but possibly in your case you might need to start with exterminating.
