Anti-allergy bedding

Anti-allergy covers (pillowcases, duvet covers, and mattress protectors) help reduce and prevent dust mite allergy symptoms in bed. They act as a protective layer against dust mites, preventing them and the allergens they release from penetrating.

How do you get symptoms with house dust mite allergy?

If you suffer from a house dust mite allergy, you are hypersensitive to the dust mite's droppings (in this case, the allergens). The allergens are so small that they travel through the air like dust, making them easy to inhale. A hypersensitivity reaction of your immune system to the allergens causes your symptoms.

What is anti-allergy bedding?

Anti-allergy bedding is a cover that zips over your mattress, duvet, and pillow. These covers prevent dust mites and their droppings from being released from your mattress, for example.

How does anti-allergy bedding work?

With a house dust mite allergy, you often experience symptoms while lying in bed. This is because most dust mites live in your bed. Your bed is an ideal habitat for dust mites; it's dark, warm, and humid, and they feed on your skin flakes.

Anti-allergy bedding won't eliminate dust mites entirely. That's simply not possible. Anti-allergy covers do, however, prevent dust mites and allergens from being released from your mattress, pillow, and duvet. Dust mites and their droppings can't penetrate the bedding. You essentially trap them.

By trapping dust mites and allergens, you'll breathe them in less easily and experience fewer symptoms. This allows you to breathe easier and sleep soundly again.

What complaints can you prevent with anti-allergy bedding?

The symptoms that can arise from house dust mite allergy are diverse. The most common symptoms are:

• Common cold

When do you use anti-allergy bedding?

You use anti-allergy bedding if you, your partner, roommate, or housemate suffer from dust mite allergies. Anti-allergy bedding is only most effective when it covers the entire bed. For a double bed, this applies to both your side and the side your partner sleeps on.
