June 27, 2008, Newsletter Issue #123: Types of Bedding Allergens

Tip of the Week

You might think that it's just dust that nestles in your comforter and makes you sneeze. But a hypoallergenic comforter can keep out many types of bedding allergens, including: Indoor mold--make sure that hypoallergenic down comforter has a tight stitching or vinyl encasing and is kept in a dry room. Dust mite and cockroach droppings--use a duvet cover or pillow cover for extra insurance on your hypoallergenic bedding, but allergy control bedding usually has an impermeable membrane. Fungi spores that hide in dust mite droppings--allergy free bedding and duvet covers will block out fungi in your pillows and hypoallergenic down comforter. Tobacco smoke--you shouldn't smoke in the bedroom, because fire hazards aside, even allergy free bedding can reek of smoke. Pet dander--it's invisible and can linger on even allergy free bedding if you let Fido curl up on your hypoallergenic comforter.

Keep allergens away from your allergy control bedding and enjoy a sneeze-free slumber.
