Allergy Armor Advanced Pillow Covers

Compared to Allergy Armor Ultra, Allergy Armor Advanced offers the same level of luxurious comfort; however, Allergy Armor Advanced has an average pore size of less than 6 microns, whereas Allergy Armor Ultra has an average pore size of less than 3 microns. Therefore, while both fabrics provide complete protection against dust mite allergen, Allergy Armor Ultra offers better protection against smaller allergens like cat dander.

Allergy Armor Advanced Pillow Covers

I have waited a long time to test the Allergy Armor Advanced allergy relief mattress and pillow covers. We began talking about creating our own fabric over four years ago. Seeing and feeling the actual fabric gives us a great sense of pride. Now for the actual sleep test.

I was lucky because I was randomly chosen to review Allergy Armor Advanced. It has created a buzz in our office and everyone is excited to finally be able to offer it to our customers. Whether you are allergic to dust mites or not, using an Allergy Armor allergy relief mattress cover will make your mattress last longer, and you will sleep better.

What I like about Allergy Armor Advanced:

Positives – Quiet, comfortable, very hard to notice that they were even there. Lifetime warranty.

What I did not like about Allergy Armor Advanced:

Negatives – More expensive, cumbersome to install like all allergy relief mattress covers.

Installation Test
I had my wife help me remove our AllerSoft mattress cover from our bed which we had been using for over three years. Unfortunately, no matter what type of allergy relief mattress cover you chose, installing it is the hardest part, especially with larger size mattresses (and ours is a king). We took the mattress took the bed, removed the AllerSoft mattress cover, and slipped on the Allergy Armor allergy relief mattress cover, making sure to start at the head of the bed and pull the mattress cover down towards the foot of the bed, much like putting on a sock. Then we zipped up the mattress cover at the foot of the bed.

Summary of installation – no different than any other mattress encasing – cumbersome, and easier to do if you have someone helping you handle the mattress. We were careful not to pull on the fabric too hard, knowing that it is not designed to be stretched. Some people suggest taping over the zipper with masking tape. We did not elect to do this, since we put the zipper at the foot of the bed, furthest from our head.

Sleep Test

We were blown away. AllerSoft is an amazing fabric, and we had never had any problems sleeping on it, but there is an incredible, noticeable difference between Allergy Armor and AllerSoft allergy relief mattress and pillow covers. The main difference was the decreased noise level with Allergy Armor. We use pretty high thread count sheets that have been washed many times so they are very soft and thin, and we could definitely tell that we had an AllerSoft encasing under our sheets. That was not the case with the Allergy Armor. It is much softer and quieter than the AllerSoft fabric.

Summary of sleep test – While a little more expensive, Allergy Armor allergy relief pillow and mattress covers are superior to AllerSoft™ allergy relief pillow and mattress covers. The wait was worth it.

Wash Test

My wife does all of the laundry in our house. For Christmas, since we had a new baby and the laundry was stacking up, we treated ourselves to a new washer that had a super hot hygienic cycle. My wife washed the pillow covers repeatedly for a few days. She was careful not to put any bleach or fabric softener in with the wash. She dried the pillow covers on medium heat, and we slept on them for a few nights and then repeated the process. We both inspected the sewing construction and it held up well, showing no signs of fraying or weakness. We were also comforted by the fact that the fabric carries a lifetime warranty.

In summary, if you are a sensitive sleeper or a hot sleeper, at the very least, use Allergy Armor Advanced pillow covers to control dust mites in your pillows. If you are a hot sleeper, and if you want the very best in dust mite protection, choose Allergy Armor Advanced pillow and mattress covers.
