Let customers speak for us
Our 9 month old has severe eczema and these mitten sleeves have been incredible. They have helped the skin from breaking further throughout the night and are so soft on her skin. Highly recommend.
I used my Vacuum cleaner and my dust mite pillow protectors and I have to say my sleep has improved. I love my Vacuum. It's light to use, has a great suction, simple instructions and does an amazing job. Thank you.
Great product that was delivered quickly. I really like how the SmartAir HEPA filters need replacing every 22 months instead of every six months like most air purifiers. Great value for money.
We are so glad we switched to the Healthguard® Treated Kids Pillow. Keeping the old pillow would have kept its dust mites as well. This pillow haa formed part of a fresh start in sleeping for our child. Imagine that - sleeping and breathing at the same time! Combined with a proper dust mite pillow protector, we have confidence that our child's pillow is no longer a source of night time breathing difficulties.
This little cleaner is great value. We can't afford to have everything professionally steam cleaned twice a year, but we can now keep our child healthier by regularly using the Dust Mite Steam Cleaner Athena AT1 to keep our environment clearer of dust mites. Our child is breathing better and therefore sleeping better and therefore concentrating better at school.
The Waterproof Dust Mite Mattress Protector I Encasement I 18-24 cm Depth was very easy to put onto our child's mattress. We waited until the mattress was professionally cleaned and treated, then fully dried. We have peace of mind that the mattress protector is protecting our child. He can now breathe whilst he is in bed, so he is waking up less often! I feel so much more rested and I'm delighted he can now thrive at school, being much better rested.
I love my quilt cover and pillowcases!
Lovely quality and they’ve made all the difference to my allergies and therefore my sleep!
We ordered this mattress for my son who has a dust mite allergy - it arrived quickly (and in a box, which made it super easy to move to the room we needed it in) and it was easy to unpackage and get on the bed. So far he is finding it very comfortable to sleep on.
So far I’m really loving this doona cover. Very comfortable,
We are so beyond happy with all of our purchase’s My daughter’s allergies are already improving.
So happy we found you
I just spray it around my room, and it works! It's really helpful!
This is a beautiful machine it’s quiet. It works beautifully. It’s even pleasant to look at, but I cannot find filters for it. I’m starting to think I wasted my money on it..
I purchased the cotton pillow covers first and they helped with my dust mite allergies. So I got the mattress and quilt covers too. And let me tell you, it's been a game-changer! My allergy symptoms have improved a ton.
After years of battling allergies and asthma, especially at night, the results are incredible. I invested in mattress, doona, and pillow covers, and they're doing wonders. I wholeheartedly recommend both the products and the company.

Dust mite rash and eczema
While dust mites do not bite, among many other symptoms, dust mites can cause skin rashes in individuals who are allergic to them, leading to symptoms like red, itchy, and inflamed skin, often associated with eczema.
The rash is triggered by exposure to dust mite allergens, primarily their fecal particles and body fragments, which can irritate sensitive skin.

Dust mite allergies in Australia

Consequently, in Australia, dust mite allergy is a widespread issue. This study found dust mites in 80% of Sydney houses.

Does food impact atopic dermatitis and eczema
Yes, certain foods can make atopic dermatitis and eczema worse, especially common allergens like eggs, milk, nuts, soy, wheat, and seafood. Studies show that up to 30% of children with eczema also have food allergies, and they are much more likely to develop food sensitivities. One possible reason is that people with eczema have a weaker skin barrier, making it easier for their immune system to react to food allergens.
Can dogs have dust mite allergies?
Dust mite allergies are a common environmental issue in dogs, causing symptoms such as excessive scratching, inflamed skin, and respiratory problems.
These microscopic creatures thrive in household areas like bedding and carpets, feeding on dead skin cells.
Managing these allergies involves regular cleaning, frequent washing of your dog's bedding, and consulting a veterinarian for appropriate treatments.

Dust mite mattress protector - why you should start here
Starting with dust mite protectors on bedding is an effective first step in reducing exposure to dust mites because it directly targets where these allergens are most concentrated.
Bedding, including mattresses and pillows, naturally collects dead skin cells, providing an ideal feeding ground for dust mites.
By using allergen-proof covers, you create a barrier that prevents mites from settling into these areas, thus significantly reducing the potential for allergic reactions while you sleep.

How to prevent dust mites
There is a big difference between killing and preventing dust mites. Once you've done all you can do to get rid of them, here are some steps to prevent dust mite spread and rapid growth in your home.
Are dust mite covers effective in preventing allergies?
Dust mite covers - all your questions answered
Dust mites thrive in our homes, particularly in mattresses, pillows, and bedding, where they feast on dead skin cells and leave behind allergens that can trigger allergic reactions.
What are dust mite covers?
Dust mite covers are specialised encasements designed to envelop pillows, mattresses, and duvets, creating a barrier that prevents dust mites and their allergens from penetrating the fabric.
How do dust mite covers work?
Dust mite covers work by forming a tight seal around your bedding with materials that are too tight for dust mites to get through effectively blocking these allergens from coming into contact with your skin and respiratory system. Good quality covers will have zippers that will seal and encase the bedding.
What materials are dust mite covers made of?
Dust mite covers are typically made of tightly woven fabrics like cotton, polyester, which are effective in blocking dust mites and allergens while still allowing air and moisture to pass through for comfort.
How often should I wash dust mite covers?
Dust mite covers should be washed every 1 to 2 months, using hot water to effectively remove any accumulated dust or allergens. Please follow the manufacturers instructions for the brand you purchase.
Are dust mite covers breathable?
Yes, most modern dust mite covers are designed to be breathable, ensuring comfortable sleep without compromising their effectiveness against dust mites.
Will dust mite covers change the feel of my mattress or pillow?
While dust mite covers are designed to be as unobtrusive as possible, they may add a slight layer of firmness or texture, but this is usually minimal and often goes unnoticed.
How do I choose the right size dust mite cover?
Measure your mattress, pillow, or duvet, and select a dust mite cover that closely matches these dimensions for a snug and effective fit.
Can dust mite covers be used on any type of bedding?
Yes, dust mite covers are versatile and can be used on various types of bedding, including memory foam, down, and synthetic materials.
Do dust mite covers prevent bed bugs?
While primarily designed for dust mites, many dust mite covers also provide a barrier against bed bugs, but it's important to check if the cover is specifically rated for bed bug protection.
Read our guide where we answer all your commonly asked questions.
Using dust mite covers is highly recommended for people with dust mite allergies because they create a barrier between the allergens and the individual. Dust mite covers for mattress, pillow and duvet, are designed to be allergen-proof, preventing dust mites from infiltrating these commonly infested areas.
Dust Mite Covers
How can dust mite mattress cover help with allergies?
A single mattress can harbour millions of dust mites that feed on skin cells and cause allergies.
The dust mite allergy mattress covers are designed and manufactured with a pore size under 2.8 microns.
Matress covers act as a barrier between you and the dust mites and their allergens that live in mattresses and other bedding.
