Allersoft 100-Percent Cotton Bed Bug, Dust Mite & Allergy Control Duvet Protector (66x86 Twin): Home & Kitchen

Description

More people have dust mite allergies than any other allergy. As you sleep, you shed millions of dead skin cells, providing dust mites with an unlimited food source. The proteins in their body parts and fecal particles are released into your mattress and bedding, causing allergies. The National Allergy 100-Percent Cotton Dust Mite & Allergy Control Twin Duvet Protector and National Allergy Cotton Dust Mite & Allergy Control Pillow Protector (sold separately) close off environments where dust mites thrive with tightly-woven cotton barriers that dust mites and allergen can't pass through. Doctors recommend that people who suffer from dust mite allergies or asthma cover their mattress, box spring, and pillows to avoid breathing in allergens while they sleep. In addition to protection from dust mites, the National Allergy Twin Duvet Protector is made with a locking zipper system, which is designed to guard against bed bugs. An auto-locking zipper locks the zipper slide in place so that it won't leave small openings that bed bugs could sneak through, while an extra fabric shield under the zipper ensures that bed bugs will not be able to get in or out of the encasing.* *Independent lab tests have proven that bed bugs cannot pass or bite through this cover. Performed by Snell Scientifics in July, 2007 under test id #bbfd07 for reference. Featuring a super-tight weave with a mean flow pore size diameter of 3.44 microns, the National Allergy Cotton Dust Mite & Allergy Control Twin Duvet Protector offers an impenetrable barrier to dust mites and bed bugs while ensuring that you enjoy a comfortable night's sleep.** Because the duvet cover is made from 100% pure cotton, it does not store or radiate heat, so it stays cool and comfortable all night long. The cover contains no added chemicals or latex. **Pore Size Results were performed by Porous Materials, Inc. Analytical Services Division 2/10/14 under test id#121533-0210 for reference. The National Allergy Cotton Dust Mite & Allergy Control Twin Duvet Protector measures 86 by 64 inches (H x W) and fits twin-sized duvets. You may want to measure your duvet before purchasing the protector to ensure a proper fit. Note that we add 2-3 percent at production for an initial, one time retraction of fibers that may shrink after the first washing. This retraction will actually result in an even smaller pore size. The National Allergy Cotton Dust Mite & Allergy Control Duvet Protector features a super-tight weave that provides an impenetrable barrier to dust mites and other harmful allergens. As fibers are woven together to create a piece of fabric, the small openings where the fibers intersect are called pores. The tighter the fibers are woven together, the smaller the pore size, resulting in fewer materials (including animal dander and dust mite allergens) escaping into the environment. Doctors recommend a pore size of 6 microns or less to protect against dust mites and other allergens. This duvet protector has a mean flow pore size diameter of 3.44 microns. Yes. Since the cover is very light, it will not add much weight if you choose to use a second duvet on top. Yes. This cover has been tested by an independent lab and the results show that bed bugs outside the encasing cannot get through to your comforter to hide or lay eggs, and any bed bugs inside the encasing cannot get out to reinfest your environment. The duvet protector comes with a locking zipper system, which locks the zipper slide in place so the zipper cannot accidentally open. There is then an added barrier that closes the last inch or so of the zipper from below to create a fabric shield under the zipper closure to doubly ensure that bed bugs will not be able to get in or out of the encasing. Yes, more so than any other product. Because the duvet cover is made from 100 percent pure cotton, and does not use any plastic or coatings, it does not store or radiate heat, so you stay cool and comfortable all night long. It has an air permeability reading of 5, which indicates a highly breathable fabric. Yes. Washing is an important step in reducing allergens. When laundering, close the zipper and machine wash the encasing in warm water (or consider using an all-temperature laundry product specially formulated for allergy sufferers). Tumble dry at the lowest setting. Do not bleach, iron, or dry clean. The duvet cover is designed to resist shrinkage and maintain the integrity of the pore size through multiple washings. The cover only needs to be washed once or twice a year, though you can wash it more often if needed.
