Superior quality dust mite protectors
-
Designed to create a barrier
These protectors are designed to prevent dust mites and their allergens from passing through the fabric, seams or stitching.
-
Exceptionally tight weave
The pillow, mattress, and duvet protectors come in cotton or waterproof options. Cotton covers have a pore size of ~2.8µm, while waterproof ones are under 2µm—both smaller than allergen particles (5–20µm).
-
Zippered covers
A zippered dust mite cover seals bedding to block allergens and dust mites, providing continuous protection and easy washing.
How Do Dust Mite Covers Work?
These mattress, pillow, and duvet protectors are specifically designed to assist individuals diagnosed with dust mite allergy or allergen sensitivity. When used correctly, they may help reduce exposure to allergen particles (typically 5–20 µm in size) by forming a physical barrier between the sleeper and potential allergen sources. While the covers are intended to support a cleaner sleep environment for those with medically confirmed sensitivities, they do not offer a cure or guarantee symptom prevention and are not a substitute for medical advice or treatment.

Porosity Testing
This tightly woven 100% cotton fabric features pore sizes as small as2.79 microns, offering basic particle filtration while maintaining breathability. While it repels larger allergens and debris, it isless effective against microscopic particleslike dust mite allergens and bed bug eggs compared to microporous barriers.
WATERPROOF ENCASEMENTS

This tightly woven cotton barrier provides a physical shield against larger particles like pet dander and dust, with pore sizes averaging5.6 microns. While breathable and soft, it offersmoderate protectionand may not fully block smaller allergens or bed bug eggs.
WATERPROOF ENCASEMENTS
How the TPU Lining Works
Engineered with a <2 μm microporous waterproof membrane, this barrier effectively blocks dust mites, bed bug allergens, and fluids, while allowing moisture vapor transmission (MVT) for thermal regulation and silent comfort. The 90gsm knitted polyester jersey enhances breathability without compromising protection.
Dust mite mattress covers
How should I use the mattress protectors?
For optimal results, it is recommended to use the mattress protectors in conjunction with a secondary slip-on mattress protector placed on top. The slip-on mattress protector should be taken off the mattress and laundered weekly along with your other bedding, while keeping the mattress encasement securely sealed.
How often should I wash the mattress covers?
Dust mite mattress protectors require washing typically every 6 to 12 months. If the protectors appear clean and without visible dirt, using a steam cleaner can serve as a convenient and efficient alternative.
Is cotton or waterproof material more effective at creating allergen barrier?
Both options are equally effective in controlling allergens, dust mites, bed bugs, pet dander, scabies, and other allergens.
Are the cotton mattress protectors waterproof?
The cotton mattress protectors are not waterproof, they will not protect a mattress from liquid spills, dirt, or grime.
How should I choose the depth of the protectors?
The 24cm tall mattress encasement is ideal for up to 27cm tall mattresses. The 33cm mattress encasement is perfect for mattresses up to 38cm tall.

Let customers speak for us
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 never thought I’d say this but I love this vacuum better than my V7 Dyson! It has super strong suction, which sucks up so much more dirt than I realised was even there. The water filter keeps it all in and I am always amazing how much is actually sucked up!!!! Highly recommend this vacuum!!!
My son is very allergic to dust mites. I was hesitant to get this vacuum but so happy I did. Very strong suction and works great!
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.
