Allergen Mattress Cover



An allergen mattress cover protects the bed from dander and dust created from the environment. However, allergen bedding does not control airborne dust, mold, and pollen. Choosing the right brand is only a matter of preference and durability. There are many reasons a person would need special linens in their bedroom. These reasons include: diagnosed allergies, morning congestion, waking up with ringing in the ears, and itchy eyes. In addition, a person may simply choose to create a healthy environment in order to prevent disease caused by a weak immune system. "And they shall bring all your brethren for an offering unto the LORD out of all nations upon horses, and in chariots, and in litters, and upon mules, and upon swift beasts, to my holy mountain Jerusalem, saith the LORD, as the children of Israel bring an offering in a clean vessel into the house of the LORD." (Isaiah 66:20)



The most effective way to control mold and other culprits of allergies is to keep a clean and uncluttered house. Wood floors instead of carpet, wood furniture instead of plush, and blinds instead of curtains create a better environment for continued health. Regular maintenance of the duct system including the furnace and air conditioner helps to prevent new toxins from entering the main living space. An allergen mattress cover can aid in the overall treatment and prevention of these problems, but are only a tool. They are easily maintained by slipping on and off the existing mattress for easy cleaning which should be done regularly at water temperatures at least reaching 130 degrees. Without regular washing an allergen mattress cover is worthless. Covering vents with special filters offers added protection from molds and allergens.



A wide variety of options ranging in price can confuse a consumer quickly. Understanding personal budget will help eliminate unrealistic choices thus making the decision less overwhelming. Two major types of products are available: zippered-cover, and fitted-cover. The zippered-cover offers a more complete cover, but is more difficult to remove, while fitted-cover products are easy to remove, but allow more chance for bacteria to breed underneath. Another difference between products is whether or not they have membranes. An allergen mattress cover with membranes will protect best from everything including moisture. The downside is how comfortable it is. Most products with membranes are not made of cotton to ensure nothing can get through, therefore, vinyl and plastic are the best options for the reduction of bacteria. Products without membranes are more comfortable usually made of tightly woven cotton or wool.



Creating a healthy environment in the bedroom is crucial to the overall success of allergen reduction. Even if the best allergen bedding is purchased, it makes little difference if the rest of the room is breeding bacteria and mold. Enclosing bookcases and closets minimizes airborne allergens as well as reducing the clutter in the bedroom including fabric curtains and carpet. Ideally a bedroom will have wood or vinyl flooring and plastic blinds on the windows. If storage is an issue, solid boxes can offer a solution without getting rid of needed items or looking for a new place to store them. Allergen bedding is also available to cover chairs and pillows for the bedroom as well. Some companies offer more products than others so the quality and variety they offer should be carefully evaluated. Likewise the quality of the existing mattress and box spring can make a difference in the functionality of any allergen bedding. In addition to the cleanliness of the room, a person must be as clean as possible for optimal performance of any product. This means cotton pajamas, tying long hair back, and bathing before bed to ensure the best results. Some companies who offer a quality allergen mattress cover also carry clothing and draperies providing similar protection.



Keep windows closed even during the day will minimize the instance of outside pollen entering the bedroom. Careful landscaping can minimize the effects of pollen production, which will maximize the effects of any indoor products. This includes regular weeding and leaf removal to reduce mold and moisture infestation. Mowing the lawn stimulates pollen and mold. Any activity that increases the amount of allergens in a person's environment should be avoided. This includes hanging clothes to dry on an outside clothesline. In addition, make sure the clothes dryer is properly vented to the outside. Plants should be kept outside as well to reduce mold that the soil produces and dust collected on the leaves and flowers. If plants need to stay indoor, create an indoor greenhouse by covering the area with plastic.



Regular cleaning of furniture with natural or allergy sensitive cleaners is crucial to the performance of any product. This includes regular cleaning of carpets and curtains as well as appliances due to the collection and distribution of allergens into the air. Ceiling fans are often overlooked when cleaning a room, but are a main contributor to dust and bacteria distribution. Hiring someone to clean the house may end up being less expensive than numerous trips to the doctor or over the counter medications purchased to combat symptoms caused by dust, mold, and bacteria. The less is more theory definitely is appropriate concerning healthy environments for allergy sufferers. The less there is to clean then the better life will be for anyone with respiratory problems. Evaluate the necessities, especially in the bedroom, and explore other options such as storage in garage or attic.
