Around one in three people in the UK will be affected by allergies at some point in their lives. Sadly this number is on the rise, with more and more people being affected by an allergy. A big culprit lies in the bedroom. Dust mites are a common cause of allergic reactions. Over 10,000 dust mites are thought to be thriving in the average bed.
Dust mites are tiny creatures measuring no more than a quarter of a millimetre long. They're invisible to the naked eye and are harmless but their droppings can trigger allergies which are particularly associated with asthma, eczema and allergic rhinitis.
The heat and moisture that a persons body makes during the night, along with the dead skin cells that we routinely shed, can encourage large populations of dust mites to thrive in the fabrics of your bedding.
Thanks to Silentnight Beds, people who suffer from these allergies, no longer have to suffer as there is a new solution. Silentnight Beds have created a new range of beds and mattress's which has been fully approved by Allergy UK. It is a 100% natural solution that releases friendly bacteria while you sleep to combat the most common allergy triggers, such as dust mite allergies.
The matress is made up of Purotex. Purotex is an active probiotic that is placed inside millions of tiny capsules woven into the fabric that we use to make the comfortable quilted top layer of our mattresses. When you get into bed, the friction created by your body on the mattress causes a small part of the micro-capsules to open up and activate the probiotics.
Once released, the friendly bacteria absorbs moisture and prevents bed bugs, dust mites and mold from developing ensuring that your mattress remains hygienically clean to promote healthy, restful sleep.
A great thing about these beds and mattresses is that they have the Seal of approval. When you see a product with this logo on it, you have the reassurance the product has been scientifically tested to prove it is efficient at reducing/removing allergens from the environment of allergy and asthma sufferers or the products have significantly reduced allergen/chemical content.
The testing is carried out by an independant laboratory to protocols which have been created for the Seal of Approval by leading allergy specialists, specifically to benefit the sufferers of allergy, asthma, sensitivity and intolerance.
