The Advantages of Allergy Protective Bedding

Your bedding can often intensify ailments such as asthma and eczema, especially if they have not been thoroughly laundered for a long time.   Washing your bedding regularly greatly contributes to eradicating triggers that result in allergic reactions.  However, there is another type of protection to consider and that is anti-allergy bedding.  These may come in the form of dust mite protectors, dust mite covers and other types of anti dust mite bedding.  They may also include anti dust mite quilt covers and dust mite mattress protectors. 

Allergy protective bedding will assist in securing you against dust mites.  They can also decrease the development of fungus spores and guard against issues like pet dander.  Warm beds and clammy temperatures are an ideal environment for dust mites to breed.  These creatures are about 3mm in size and feed on dead skin cells, which collect in your bedding.  The typical bed could hold millions of dust mites.  Washing your pillows, blankets and other machine-washable bedding regularly in a water temperature above 60 degrees, definitely helps to minimise the problem.  When mattresses, pillows and blankets get old, dust mites can build up inside them, so it is best to replace your pillows every two years, your blankets at least every five years and your mattress after ten years of use.

To prevent dust mites and other allergens from developing in your home, you can also ensure your carpets are vacuumed regularly.  You can even remove the carpeting, since dust mites cannot breed on hard surfaces.  Dust the home using damp cloths to collect the dust, rather than a feather duster and wash cushions and soft toys that are kept on the bed, frequently.  You could buy an air purifier which will remove pollen, hair, dust and other allergens from the atmosphere.  Keeping pets out of your bedroom and keeping your windows shut when there is a high pollen count can also prevent allergens from building up.  Airing your bedding each morning will allow overnight humidity to escape and keeping the humidity of your home below fifty percent, also decreases the chance of dust mites multiplying.
