What is Allergy Bedding?

Allergy bedding, also referred to a dust mite bedding, is specifically designed to prevent dust mites, pet dander, pollen and other allergens from infesting your bed by acting as a physical barrier between you and the allergen.

Allergy relief mattress protectors differ from standard mattress covers. Not all mattress protection products are made equally. Dust mites and other common household allergens are so tiny that they can easily slip through the pores between the thread of normal bedding fabrics. Only specially designed fabrics with a pore size small enough to prevent the transfer of dust mites and their allergens through the fabric itself can be certified as allergy bedding. When cut off from their food supply, dust mites are subjected to starvation and quickly die, preventing their spread.

The laminated fabric of Mattress Safe® Sofcover® mattress protectors and encasements is certified to provide allergy relief. The "Classic" mattress protector, "Simplistic" mattress cover, PillowSafe® covers and "Superior" mattress encasement each offer consumers protection from dust mites, allergens, mold and bacteria. Mattress Safe® "Ultimate" total mattress encasement offers extra protection on all six sides for those extreme allergy issues, and allows the option of flipping the mattress.

When combined with Mattress Safe^® "Simplistic" Overlay consumers can keep their mattress protected while removing the topper for laundering or when maintenance is required.

What Makes Mattress Safe® Preferred?

Compared to standard hypoallergenic mattress covers and protectors, Mattress Safe^® smooth Sofcover^® fabric offers a variety of advantages:

• Convenient to wipe down or lightly vacuum to remove allergens between washings.
• Resistant to the flourishing of mold and bacteria in the mattress, decreasing the population of allergy inducing spores.
• Breathable, so moisture is wicked away from the body for greater comfort in both hot and cold environments.
• Waterproof for protection against spills and fluids.
• Lightweight and launders like a sheet, resulting in less saturation and bulk when wet.
• Comfortable, noiseless, and soft to the touch, allowing for a peaceful night's sleep.

Allergy treatment professionals recommend allergen barrier encasements for your bedding as your first line of defense for dust mite allergies and asthma. Encasing your mattress, box spring and pillows protect you from inhaling allergens that become airborne from your body's movement in bed.
