What is an allergy relief pillow cover?
An allergy relief pillow cover, sometimes referred to as a dust mite
pillow encasing, looks like a white fabric pillow case with a zipper.
Though it may look like a normal pillow case, it is specifically
designed to block out dust mites and other allergens. An allergy relief
pillow cover zips up tight to completely encase your pillow. It is
generally used underneath a normal decorative pillow case, although it
can also be used by itself.
Why do you need an allergy relief pillow cover?
If you wake up in the morning with a stuffy nose, itchy eyes, sore
throat, or other allergy symptoms, you are probably allergic to dust
mites. Dust mites are microscopic creatures that thrive in bedding and
feast on human skin flakes. Unfortunately, at least 10% of Americans are
allergic to dust mite waste particles and regularly experience morning
congestion and restless nights. (To learn more about dust mites,
see our Dust
Mite Fact Sheet.)
These pillow encasings will alleviate your allergy symptoms, so you can
wake up well-rested and breathing clearly.
How does an allergy relief pillow cover work?
Specially blended fabrics keep dust mites and dust mite allergens from
penetrating.
Allergy Armor Ultra has an average pore size of 2.8 microns
so that even the smallest allergens cannot pass through. (Dust mite allergen averages around 10 microns, but cat dander may
be as small as 3 microns.) The cover and the outer pillow case can be easily removed and washed, keeping them free of allergens.
What does "membrane-free" mean?
Allergy Armor CleanAir Classic Membrane has a urethane membrane barrier to block allergens. The membrane barrier is also waterproof, and so we normally recommend these
encasings for small children. Membrane-free encasings are softer, more comfortable, and more breathable; they rely on tight-weaving technology to create pore
sizes so small that allergens cannot pass through the fabric. Our membrane free encasings include
Allergy Armor Ultra,
Allergy Armor Advanced, and
Allergy Armor AllerSoft Cotton Blend.
How do you use allergy relief pillow covers?
Allergy relief pillow covers are extremely easy to put on. Simply slip
your pillow into it, zip it up, and then put your normal decorative
pillow case over your dust mite pillow encasing.
How do you care for an allergy relief pillow cover?
Caring for a mattress or pillow cover is simple. Just machine wash on
warm or hot, and gently tumble dry. Do not use bleach. Pillow covers can
be washed every couple weeks. Mattress covers only need to be washed 3
or 4 times per year.
