People who wake up sneezing with a runny and stuffy nose are probably suffering from an allergy to dust and dust mites. Every night a certain amount of skin is lost through shedding along with a certain amount of liquid through perspiration and urine. These ingredients make your mattress a perfect breeding ground for dust mites.

Allergy symptoms can be reduced by replacing your current mattress with a wool mattress, or a custom mattress that is hypoallergenic. Alternatively, dust mite mattress covers can be utilized to cover your current mattress.

Dust mite mattress covers are like large pillow cases, and are composed of a fitted cotton towel-like surface and a waterproof barrier. The waterproof barrier that is located under the fitted sheet helps absorb any sweat or urine. These dust mite mattress covers are manufactured in a manner that does not allow dust mites to penetrate through the surface.

Dust mite mattress covers are easy to use. One person can hold the mattress, while the other unzips the mattress cover and slips the mattress inside the cover. The mattress cover is then sealed completely. Your body is then protected from coming into contact with dust and dust mites.

Dust mite mattress covers are easy to care for. These mattress covers can be washed in warm water and dried. It is preferable that covers are not ironed or bleached. Dust mite mattress covers do not need to be washed weekly; in fact, washing it every several months is completely acceptable.

It is important to note at this point that dust mite mattress covers can never eliminate your allergy problem permanently. Other precautions should still be taken to avoid your dust allergy such as cleaning your house floor, furnace and air conditioning/heating ducts.

Before dust mite mattress covers are purchased, it is strongly recommended that you obtain a home dust mite kit to check for the presence of dust mites.
