Many people have a certain allergy. In Belgium, 30% of the population is allergic to one substance or another. This number increases every year. There has even been a 50% increase in the last ten years, especially in children.
The number of people with allergies is expected to double or triple over the next twenty years. One of the most important and natural causes for the development of allergies is house dust mites.
The best place to develop this allergy to dust mites is the bedroom. It is humid (due to perspiration), dark and nice and warm.
Too often people think that they are allergic to the filling of their duvet, namely down. However, you are not allergic to, for example, down filling in your duvet, but you do have an allergic reaction to the presence of dust mites in your sleeping environment.
Many duvets, pillows and mattresses are specially treated for these people.
If you are still in doubt, or if the desired anti-allergic result is not yet sufficiently achieved, there is an extensive range of anti-allergic products such as: mite stop covers and protectors for mattresses, duvets and pillows. These anti-allergic protectors rule out elke reaction with dust mites.
The best result is achieved if you apply an anti-allergic cover to your newly unused mattress, pillow or duvet from the start.
Anti-allergic covers can also be washed at high temperatures (90°) so that no dust mites survive a wash!
