A dust mite allergy is one of the most common household triggers for a whole slew of allergy symptoms, and yet, it is often overlooked.

 

* Gross warning ahead *

 

Dust mites are microscopic pests that feed on flakes of dead human skin. They are visible only through a microscope and can be found in bedding, pillows, mattresses, upholstered furniture, stuffed animals, and carpeting. As an average person may shed up to 1.5 grams of skin in a day and we spend a lot of time in our homes, our beds are dust mites’ favourite place to live. Even though dust mites do not bite humans, they can affect the way we breathe and sleep in our homes. Dust mite droppings can cause asthma symptoms, coughing, sneezing, stuffy or runny nose, watery eyes, skin rash, and other allergic reactions. These symptoms can make it harder to fall asleep, cause discomfort during the night and lead to insomnia or disordered sleep. As we spend one-third of our lives and kids spend almost half of their time sleeping, getting rid of dust mites in our bedrooms can significantly reduce symptoms of allergic reactions and improve the quality of sleep and life.

These dust mite-resistant pillows, pillowcase covers, and mattress encasements can help you manage the dust mite population living in your house and provide relief from allergy symptoms.

Getting this hypoallergenic dust mite pillow encasement is an effective way to protect yourself from allergens. Not only will this encasement cover act as a barrier against dust mites, bed bugs and other parasites, but it also is plastic-free and doesn’t release off-gassing chemicals. It is made of tightly woven, lighter organic cotton threads which ensure that dust mites cannot pass through the fabric. Machine washable and comes with a zipper.

 

One of our best sellers—this pillow has so many great features. Due to the GOTS  organic certified rubber used to make the pillow, it is hypoallergenic, dust mite and moisture resistant. It is free from chemical-based foam, synthetic fire retardants and doesn’t release off-gassing chemicals. It is breathable for optimal temperature control during sleep (no more night sweats!). As it comes with a zipper, you can rearrange the fill and adjust the height of your head on the pillow. The pillow is durable, low-maintenance and machine washable.

 

Not only will this mattress pad protect your mattress from dust mites, bacterial growth and water spills, but it will also provide better sleeping conditions. It stands out due to its material, Tencel lyocell. Tencel is a fabric that is highly breathable, hypoallergenic and very soft. Bedding made of Tencel enables good airflow, wicks away moisture and feels cool. It is also kind to sensitive skin and helps to alleviate skin irritation. This mattress pad feels smooth to the touch and is odour-free.

 

A high-quality mattress is an investment. An investment that can promote allergy symptoms relief and better sleep. And getting a good night’s rest means better health, mood, and quality of life.

 

If you are prone to allergies, we highly recommend this Natural Foam Rubber Mattress. Its core is made of foam rubber, a hypoallergenic material that is naturally resistant to dust mites, mould, and bacteria. It is sourced and processed using the more environmentally process referred to as the Dunlop process. The outer casting is made of double quilted organic cotton and premium eco wool. This wool contains no dyes, chemicals or synthetic fills and is sourced from farmers who practice sustainable farming and do not use sheep dipping (immersion of sheep in a chemical compound to eliminate parasites). Wool is also naturally flame retardant and resists bacteria, mould and dust mite growth.

This natural mattress is handmade in British Columbia, Canada by a family-run business that is sincere about providing a high-quality, independently tested, certified organic product.
