Choose from Single, Double, King or SuperKing sizes. Set includes mattress cover, duvet cover and two pillow covers.
Dust mites are microscopic insects that feed on human skin cells. They thrive in warm, moist environments and typically colonise mattresses, pillows, duvets and cushions, where they can live and breed while feeding on a plentiful supply of the skin cells that we humans shed on a continuous basis. The faeces of the dust mite forms a fine dust and it’s this allergen which humans react to, rather than the mites themselves. This allergen becomes airborne when we make a bed or place our head upon a pillow and can cause distressing symptoms in sensitive individuals.
Allergy caused by dust mites is a problem all year round, but can be particularly serious when we close windows, turn on heating and create even better conditions for them to thrive, especially within our beds, where we are so close to dust mite colonies for hours at a time.
Experts recommend covering mattresses, duvets, pillows and cushions with high quality dust mite proof covers to provide essential protection for allergy sufferers.
Some cheaper protectors made from synthetic materials can cause sweating and create the noise of ‘crinkling’ in use. Allergy Best Buys is a British company that makes the only organic cotton mattress protectors available. They are cool, quiet and truly comfortable in use.
