Do you wake up sneezing, with a stuffy nose, a sore throat, itchy eyes, or other allergy symptoms? This means you might be allergic to dust mites. These microscopic creatures live in your bed. The allergic reaction is caused by their feces and waste materials, inducing restless nights and congestion in the morning. Luckily there is something you can do about it. You can buy allergy bedding. These covers can make a big difference as they can help you to alleviate the allergy symptoms, so you can sleep better and wake up well-rested.

How does it work?

Allergy mattress covers are made of unique fabric blends, specifically designed to block out the dust mites and other allergens like bed bugs. They cover the whole mattress and zip up tightly, so dust mites and bed bugs can not slip through the zipper either. This way you have set up a barrier between you and the allergens which will relief the symptoms of your allergies thus allowing you to sleep without congestion. The dust mites will die soon as they are cut off their food supply; flakes of your dead skin.

How do you use an allergy relief mattress cover?

Due to the size and the weight of the mattress and because the mattress cover encases the mattress so tightly, it can be cumbersome to install the cover. You can best do this with two people, one pulls over the cover and the other one holds up the mattress. You only have to wash the dust mite cover about three times a year. Just put it in the washing machine and gently tumble dry.

What can you do more?

If you suffer from severe allergies, you should clean your bedroom daily, preferably with a vacuum cleaner. Don’t put a carpet in your bedroom and use blinds instead of curtains. Wash your bed linen weekly and open up your windows every morning in order to allow fresh air to flow in. With these points of focus in addition to the allergy mattress cover you will be able to fight the cause of you allergy and find relief.
