Frequently asked

Is cotton good for dust mite allergies?
Cotton's main advantage in an allergy-aware bedroom is practical: it can typically be washed at temperatures that reduce allergen load effectively, and it's durable enough to handle frequent laundering. Australian research at the University of Sydney found that washing bedding at 55°C or higher kills 100% of dust mites, and that even a cold wash removes more than 90% of dust mite allergen (McDonald & Tovey, 1992, Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology). Check your care label for the recommended wash temperature for this set. For barrier protection between you and accumulated allergen, a tightly-woven mattress encasement and pillow encasements do the heavy lifting.

What does the research say about sheets and dust mite allergens?
A few things worth knowing:

• Allergen levels track the bedroom, not the fabric. Allergen accumulation in bedding correlates with overall bedroom allergen levels — the surrounding environment matters more than any single product (Rains et al., 1999, Clinical & Experimental Allergy).
• Comprehensive bedroom control has been associated with improved outcomes; single interventions in isolation are less reliable. A 2024 meta-analysis found that combinations of mattress protectors, pillow protectors, quilt protectors, washing routines, humidity control, and air purification were associated with three times greater odds of patient-reported improvement in mite-sensitive participants (van Boven et al., 2024, World Allergy Organization Journal). An earlier 2008 Cochrane review found weaker evidence for any one measure on its own (Gøtzsche & Johansen, 2008).

I have a dust mite allergy — what's the most important bedding step?
The setup most supported by published research is comprehensive bedroom control:

• Encase the mattress first — this is where the highest allergen load accumulates
• Encase the pillow — your face is in contact with this for hours each night
• Encase the quilt — the quilt drapes directly over you
• Wash encasements and pillowcases regularly — at 55°C to kill mites, or cold wash to remove allergen if hot isn't possible
• Keep bedroom humidity below ~50% — dust mites struggle in drier air
• Consider air purification

These sheets are one component of a comfortable bedroom setup — the encasements and washing routine are doing the allergy management work. For advice specific to your situation, your GP or allergy specialist is the right person to speak to.
