Cold & Flu Map Cold & Flu Relief Advisor Dust Mite Mattress and Pillow Covers for Allergies Each adult person sheds about one and a half grams of skin every day. Dust mites are microscopic creatures that can live in your bedding and carpets and feed on this skin.It does explain why dust mite-proof pillow and mattress covers are your first line of defense against dust allergies! Facts About Dust Mites Dust mites are everywhere -- anywhere there are people or animals, warm temperatures, and high humidity. They like to be indoors, where they can get plenty of food like mold spores and dead skin cells from people and pets. If you are sensitive or allergic to them, you may have: Runny or itchy nose and sneezing Sore throat or hoarse voice Coughing and other breathing problems Skin rash and itching Worsening of your asthma Dust mites settle down in carpet, draperies, stuffed animals, and upholstered furniture. Mattresses, pillows, and soft bedding are favorite hangouts.
Dust mite covers really work. One study found that some kids with asthma need less asthma medicine when they used mattress and pillow covers. Tests of their mattresses showed that dust mites colonies there dwindled. But never decrease your asthma medicine unless instructed by your doctor. You can find dust mite covers for mattresses, pillows, and box springs at mattress and allergy supply stores and in a variety of materials. Plastic or vinyl covers with zippers help seal in allergens so you don't inhale them when sleeping. Plastic or vinyl covers are easier to keep clean than covers made of natural fibers. Many plastic covers have an outer layer of material like nylon to make them more comfortable. If possible, cover your mattress and pillows when they are new. Put duct tape or electrical tape over cover zippers to double-block dust-mites from coming and going. More Ways to Minimize Dust Mites Use a bed with a wooden or metal frame. Wash bedding in hot water.
Cold water does not kill dust mites. Wash sheets and pillowcases at least once a week. Wash comforters and bedspreads every one to two months. Consider using an electric blanket, which can reduce humidity on bed surfaces. Wash and dry stuffed animals often and keep them off beds. Clean mattresses in late winter and early spring. That will kill any dust mites that survived the winter and reduce their numbers in the summer months. & FREE Delivery in the UK on orders over £20.00. & FREE UK Delivery on orders dispatched by Amazon over £20.

This high quality Silentnight anti allergy mattress protector offers protection from dust-mites and bacteria whilst also helping to extend mattress life 1 x Mattress Protector Silentnight Anti Allergy Mattress Protector A Silentnight Anti-Allergy mattress protector, which is designed to keep your mattress fresh and hygienic while also offering allergy sufferers protection against dust mites and bacteria. When you have found a mattress that suits you, it's well worth protecting your investment with a mattress protector. After all, not only is your mattress quite a substantial investment, there's no assurance that you'll find one you like quite as much again.
After all, levels of comfort and spinal support can vary dramatically from mattress to mattress. So it's worth bearing in mind that sheets alone won't protect your prized mattress from normal perspiration and the natural body oils that keep your skin soft: both of which will eventually pass through your sheets and into the mattress. That's why Silentnight mattress protectors are an indispensable idea. They help to keep your mattress protected from perspiration and body oils and are also fully machine-washable. Silentnight Anti-Allergy mattress protectors also offer additional protection against dust mites and bacteria, which can make going to bed a sneezy and itchy experience for allergy sufferers; though keeping your mattress hygienic and mite-free is ideal for everyone. An Ideal Choice for Allergy Sufferers This Mattress Protector contains elements that prevent against mites, bacteria or any other allergens. To help maintain freshness this mattress protector can be washed at 60 degrees.
