Allergy Free Bedding is designed to create an
efficient barrier between you and the house dust mite, and to reduce
your asthma symptoms.
Asthma symptoms, eczema symptoms and all other dust mite related
allergy symptoms can be greatly reduced by reducing exposure to the
mite’s allergen (droppings). If a dust mite hypersensitive person can
avoid contact with high concentrations of allergen then their asthma
symptoms can be greatly reduced.

Dust Mite Information
Mites are microscopic but play havoc with our noses,
throat, eyes, ears, skin & lungs!
Dust mites are microscopic. About 50 of them can fit on the head of a pin.
They are invisible to the naked eye. They are related to a microscopic tick.
Dust Mites live on a diet of skin scales which we shed daily. They thrive in
a warm and humid environment living and breeding in mattresses, blankets, doonas,
pillows, under blankets, carpets and fabric covered furniture. Approximately 80%
of asthmatics are allergic to Dust Mites. They mainly live and breed in bedding
and mattresses. Up to 2 million mites can live in a mattress.
Each day dust mites produce up to 50 faecal pellets and these droppings are
the most common cause of dust related allergies.
The symptoms of asthma and other allergic conditions caused by dust mites and
its allergens are greatly reduced by the use of occlusive covers.
By having Allergy Free Protective Bedding you create an efficient
barrier between you and the house dust mite, and to reduce your exposure to
their related allergens.
