FAQs - Mattress protectors for dust mites

How effective are the protectors against dust mites?

Dust mite allergen particles are typically 5–20 microns in size, while dust mites themselves are much larger. Barrier fabrics used in dust mite protectors are designed with pore sizes small enough to help block allergen particles from passing through.

Both 100% cotton and waterproof dust mite mattress protectors sold at Dust Mite Allergy Solutions are equally effective in controlling allergens such as dust mites, bed bugs, pet dander, scabies, and bird lice.

Do Allergy Mattress Covers Really Work?

How to choose the right height of the mattress protector

Measure your mattress height from the base to the top and choose a protector that matches it as closely as possible.

These encasements come in 25 cm or 35 cm heights (cots are 13 cm), and because the cotton fabric has no stretch, mattresses over 37 cm high are not suitable.

If your mattress is between 35–37 cm tall, it may compress by 1–2 cm and still fit without damaging the zipper or stitching.

Do dust mite mattress protectors protect against other allergies and allergens?

Allergy mattress covers can protect against other allergens, including pet dander, pollen, mould spores, and other particulate matter. Read more how allergy mattress protectors help create a barrier and protect against other allergies.

How to install a mattress encasement

  1. Remove all bedding.
  2. Vacuum the mattress.
  3. Stand the mattress on its side if possible.
  4. Unzip the protector and slide it on fully.
  5. Zip closed and secure the zipper flap.
  6. Add sheets and bedding.
  • Certified and Safe Materials 

    The cotton is OEKO-TEX® certified, meaning it’s tested for over 100 harmful chemicals.

  • Zippered Bedding Protection

    Zippered encasements fully seal the mattress and make washing easier.

  • Exceptionally Tight Weave 

    Tight-woven fabrics help prevent dust mite allergen particles from passing through.

Dust mite encasement or regular mattress protector?

Most mattress protectors are made to stop spills — not allergens. If you’re trying to reduce dust mite exposure, the difference between a standard protector and a dedicated dust mite cover matters more than most people realise.
