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.Why did we create the PeapodMats and What can it do?

This is the second one I've purchased - the first one was for a full-size bed - to protect the heated mattress pad and mattress from pet accidents. I've been very happy with them. One of the geriatric kitties "tested" the first one and nothing made it through to the electric pad. "I am looking for a mattress cover in cotton, I am allergic to plastic of any kind.

I always want to protect my mattresses, so this seem the best choice. My daughter bought a new mattress...wanted to protect it from active toddler and new baby Also liked the fact that the mattress protector was made of cotton and came with a 10yr warranty.
To protect my mattress from kids and pets I always put a mattress protector on my mattress To protect bed from urine stains from me wetting bed. I have a temperpedic mattress that I want to keep in perfect condition. I was given a free mattress protector at purchase 3 years ago but the dryer has fgotten the best of the waterproof material and melted the underside. The mattress protector I am replacing had an MSRP of $150. This prodcut seems like a good deal and the cotton top promises to keep my sleeps comfortable. I have one currently for another bed and it's been a lifesaver with dogs and small children. Saves the mattress in case of "accidents". used it, loved it, got a spare Suggested while purchasing mattress.. also, reviews were good. I have a small child and I rather be safe than sorry !! We purchased this pad to protect our new mattress. Mother is 85 years old. I thought it would be a good idea to secure the mattress. this is first time looking stuff that I need and will try this product
because I need to keep clean my mattress "I'd like an Queen Extra Long size cover: Queen extra wide: 66 inches wide x 80 inches long but it appears that in the size option selector there is no such size listed. I am seeing Olympic Queen, would that be the right proper size. Please recommend the proper sizing for this Item #: 11104769 item. I am in Tokyo and need to make an immediate purchase." Thank you for contacting us, Sprigs53. These do not come in extra long queen, only extra wide. We apologize for the inconvenience we might have caused. Please let us know if you have any further questions. "what size do i get for a pillow top queen?" a queen will work on a pillow top this cover has a lot of depth so no problem!! Get the standard queen size, I have a pillowtop queen and the queen fits with room to spare as its very stretchy "I do not have a deep mattress - my present mattress protector fits very loosely - would this cover do likewise ?" Yes, ours is a little loose on our deep mattress but the elastic performs well enough that this is not a problem.
"envelope the whole mattress?" Thank you for shopping with us kelowu. This just covers the top and sides. Have a good day. I have a 14" mattress and it covers it completely! I think is very good to have it covered There is give on the California King we have. But I like that, it protects top and sides and fits tight if you tuck it in "Can this item be bleached?" I don't know but wouldn't advise it. Bleaching might damage the water proofing. I wouldn't think so. It does wash nicely with hot waterJust put it on the bed last week. Generally you are not supposed to bleach waterproof mattress covers like this because it breaks down the material. I use spray and wash or shout if a stain needs to be removed. When purchasing one at a mattress store in person this was what they recommended. Bleach will destroy the waterproofing. don't know either, but I wouldn't. I've bleached it every time and I've had it for several years. "is the waterproof liner actually a sheet of plastic?
or is the entire protector made of cotton?" It is cotton on top with the liner on the bottom. it does have plastic on one side and the other is a brushed cotton. It is really very comfortable, not like sleeping on a plastic sheet at all. Cleans great when accidents happen It is cotton on the top and a soft flexible plastic on the bottom. It is very comfortable and doesn't make the crinkly noise like a plastic cover makes. It makes no noise at all and it very waterproof. I recommend this for any mattress "Can it fit with the mattress height lower than 21"？"My mattress is 15" and it fit perfectly. yes my mattress is 15" and it fits great! the sides are very stretchy so it will fit any mattress It has very good elastic and should fit just about any size mattress "Is it machine washable?" Yes, I have washed it twice. without any problem, whatsoever. It just got fluffier. Yes, have washed them many time and hung up to dry It does wash well but I would only put it in the dryer on low heat
I have washed mine without a problem. This item was made in China. China as most of everything we buy any more. "is it machine washable?" Yes, this item is machine washable. Beware - this cannot be washed with soap of any kind. It will void the warranty. I had something spill on mine a while back and sent it in for warranty of the mattress because it leaked through, and they wouldn't uphold the warranty because it was washed with soap. "What is the name of the antimicrobial agent used on this product? I would prefer silver which is a safe antimicrobial whereas Triclosan is known to be a carcinogen." I unfortunately do not have the name of the agent, but the mattress cover is approved by the EPA. "What are the dimensions for the split cal king for adjustable beds? It mentions all other dimensions except this one. The dimensions are 36 inches by 84 inches. "If a spill goes over the edge, are the sides protected too?" The material on the sides is the same material as on the top, therefore, the sides should also be protected.
