Frequently asked

Is microfibre good for dust mite allergies?
Microfibre doesn't have any special resistance to dust mites or their allergens — mites can colonise any bedding regardless of fabric type. Regular washing is the practical habit that keeps allergen levels down. For a confirmed allergen barrier, a purpose-made encasement over your mattress, pillow, and quilt is the more reliable layer to add.

What does the research say about bedding 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 hotter kills 100% of dust mites, and that even a cold wash removes more than 90% of dust mite allergen from bedding (McDonald & Tovey, 1992, Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology). Check your care label for the recommended wash temperature before washing at high heat.

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.
