Mattress protectors can help reduce exposure to dust mites and the allergens they leave behind. Dust mites are microscopic organisms that commonly live in mattresses, pillows and upholstered bedding, where they feed on shed skin cells and thrive in warm, humid conditions. A high-quality, zippered mattress encasement creates a barrier around the entire mattress, while a fitted waterproof or washable mattress protector helps keep dust mites, moisture, skin flakes and other common irritants from settling deep into the mattress. For the best results, look for a breathable, snug-fitting mattress protector that fully covers your mattress without changing its comfort or support. Regular cleaning is an important part of managing dust mites in the bedroom. Wash removable mattress protectors and bedding according to the care instructions, typically using hot water when the fabric allows, and dry them completely before putting them back on the bed. Vacuum the bedroom and mattress surface with a vacuum equipped with a HEPA filter, reduce indoor humidity and wash pillows or use protective pillow covers to help limit allergen buildup. Although a mattress protector does not remove every dust mite or replace professional allergy care, using one consistently can help keep your sleep environment cleaner and protect your mattress from stains, sweat and everyday wear.
