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.

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.
