Frequently asked

Is this quilt cover hypoallergenic?
Royal Comfort describes this fabric as hypoallergenic and resistant to allergens, moisture, and odours. "Hypoallergenic" isn't a regulated term in Australia, so it doesn't carry a guaranteed standard across products. If you're managing a dust mite allergy specifically, the product designed to block allergen is a tightly-woven quilt encasement — that goes between the quilt and this cover, and does the barrier work.

Is this bamboo or microfibre?
Both — it's a 30% bamboo, 70% microfibre blend. Microfibre is a fine synthetic polyester-based fabric; it gives this cover its characteristic silky weight and smooth finish. The bamboo component adds breathability and moisture-wicking. This is a different construction to 100% cotton or a bamboo-cotton blend, and the soft feel comes primarily from the microfibre weave rather than the bamboo fraction.

Should I use a quilt protector over this?
Yes, if dust mite allergen is a concern. A tightly-woven encasement placed between the quilt and this cover creates a physical barrier that prevents allergen from the quilt reaching you while you sleep. The quilt cover itself is not a barrier product — it's a cover for style and comfort. Browse our dust mite quilt and doona protector range.

What does the research say about quilt covers 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).
• Regular washing reduces allergen load. Australian research at the University of Sydney found that washing 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). Refer to your care label for the recommended wash temperature for this cover.

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

This quilt cover is 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.
