What Is An Anti-Dust Mite Mattress?

What is called an anti-dust mite mattress is a mattress whose shell has undergone a specific treatment dedicated to limiting the proliferation of dust mites.

These are responsible for many allergic symptoms that can have an impact on the quality of sleep.

Today, many brands specializing in bedding offer models that have benefited from this treatment.

Why Choose An Anti-Dust Mite Mattress?

In Pakistan, 25% to 30% of the population suffers from allergies*, and dust mite allergy is among the most common.

The anti-dust mite mattress is primarily intended for people who want to limit the risk of allergies during the night. These may be people who already have symptoms allergic to dust or pollen and want to anticipate the problem and protect themselves as much as possible. They can also be sensitive people such as children for example.

With the anti-dust mite mattress, their presence is greatly reduced. Thus, no more itchy eyes, runny nose or throat itching during the night. These symptoms, although minor, are still unpleasant and can affect the quality of your sleep. Protecting yourself from them allows you to enjoy much more restful nights.

How To Protect Yourself From The Presence Of Dust Mites?

Choosing an anti-dust mite mattress is an excellent initiative to protect yourself against dust mites. That being said, there are many other good reflexes to have for a healthier bedroom and a more serene sleep.

Ventilate Winter And Summer

Airing out your home is an excellent reflex to have for a healthier and less humid environment. It is therefore recommended to air your room for at least 30 minutes a day. Easier in summer than in winter, this simple way to limit the presence of dust mites.

Be careful, however, if you have an allergic area, avoid ventilating at the time of day when the pollen concentration is highest. Between May and July, it is best to ventilate in the morning before 8 a.m. and in the evening after 9 p.m.

Limit The Temperature In The Room

In winter, an overheated room can accelerate the proliferation of dust mites. So prefer a temperature between 18°C and 19°C. By the way, this temperature level is also recommended for better sleep. In the summer, do your best to keep the environment as cool as possible.

Avoid Moisture-Producing Factors

In general, the humidity level should not be too high in a bedroom. To limit the proliferation of dust mites, it is said that it should not be higher than 50 to 60%. To do this, it is recommended to:

  • Do not dry laundry in the room
  • Do not install plants or aquariums in the room
  • Ventilate water features well

The Right Reflexes On The Household Side

It is also at the time of cleaning that you will be able to effectively fight against the presence of dust mites. It is generally recommended to:

  • Vacuum Two To Three Times A Week
  • Mop Once A Week
  • Limit "dust nests", i.e. decorative objects and surfaces that have not been cleaned
  • Remove dust with a damp cloth to avoid dispersing it into the air
  • Avoid the presence of carpets, carpets or textiles on the walls

Protect Bedding

There are accessories dedicated to protecting bedding. Washable, they prevent the accumulation of dust and prevent the proliferation of dust mites. You can therefore equip your mattress with a mattress protector.

You can also equip yourself with a pillow that has benefited from an anti-dust mite and antibacterial treatment. Also, make sure to clean your pillows regularly.
