Dust Mite Pillow Protectors - FAQs
Do dust mite pillow protectors actually work?
Dust mite allergens are particles around 10–40 microns.
A tightly-woven fabric with pore size below 5 microns acts as a physical barrier. Our cotton range tests at 2.8 microns and the waterproof range at approximately 2 microns — both well below the size needed to block allergen particles.
Effectiveness is greatest when used alongside mattress and quilt encasements. Australian guidance from ASCIA recognises tightly-woven encasements as part of broader dust mite reduction strategies.

What's the difference between a pillow protector and an encasement?
The terms are used interchangeably.
Technically, a "protector" can be any cover; an "encasement" fully encloses all sides with a zipper.
Every product here is an encasement — we use both terms because most Australian customers search for "pillow protector".
Read more: Dust mite mattress encasement vs. mattress protector — which one do you need?
Allergens from dust mites are present in their feces and body parts.
These tiny particles can become airborne and inhaled, leading to allergic reactions. Using protectors on your mattress, pillow, and duvet effectively confines these allergens, hindering their spread into the air and lessening their concentration in your sleep area.
How often should I wash a dust mite pillow protector?
Every 3 to 6 months is generally sufficient when a pillowcase sits over the top to absorb daily wear.

Are these suitable for children with eczema or asthma?
Our cotton range is OEKO-TEX certified by the manufacturer, considered safe for direct skin contact including for sensitive skin and infants.
We don't make claims about treating any medical condition. If your child has a diagnosed condition, such as eczema, please discuss bedding choices with your GP, paediatrician, or allergist.

Will these make my pillow feel different?
Cotton: feels like a high-thread-count pillowcase.
Waterproof: soft polyester jersey outer with no plastic crinkle (the TPU layer is laminated on the inside).
Do you ship Australia-wide?
Yes — we ship across Australia from an Australian warehouse.
How does a dust mite pillow protector work?
-
Traps existing dust mites
Any mites already inside are sealed in and cut off from their food source.
-
Blocks new dust mites from entering
New mites are unable to penetrate the encasement. The mites in the encasement are cut off from food source.
-
Prevents allergen inhalation
The barrier created by the dust mite protector prevents allergen particles from escaping into the air you breathe while sleeping.
Why these and not a regular pillow protector?
Most pillow protectors at department stores are loosely-woven polyester or microfibre. They're designed for general wear, not as an allergen barrier, and typically only cover the top of the pillow.The protectors here are full encasements with a tight enough weave to physically block dust mite allergen particles — a different product, designed for a different job.
Cotton or waterproof? How to choose
-
Which one to choose?
Sleep hot or prefer natural fibres: choose cotton.
Need spill protection: choose waterproof.
Both are equally effective dust mite barriers.
-
Waterproof
Pore size approximately 2 microns (TPU membrane), polyester jersey + TPU lining, fully waterproof. Best for kids who drool, the bedwetting phase, carers, and anyone who wants spill protection.
-
100% Cotton
Pore size 2.8 microns, 1600 thread count cotton, OEKO-TEX certified by the manufacturer, more breathable. Best for adults and children with dust mite allergies, eczema-aware bedding.

Let customers speak for us
Efficient postage, easy to put onto the mattress, duvet etc. Daughter finds it comfortable and soft.
We purchased mattress , pillow and duvet encasement for kids due to their dust mite allergy.
Quality is great and delivery was earlier than expected.
Shipping was fast and efficient. The quality of the pillow is so much better than the one we bought from kmart. However it's not for us as it's on the thick side and will cause back pain used for a long period
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.
Comfy as I want it
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,
Great duvet! It's soft and keeps the dust away so I don't sneeze. It's just right for sleeping all year. I'm really happy with it!
