Dust Mite Covers Overview

If you are living with a dust mite allergy, it’s likely that you have been advised to purchase dust mite covers for your bed. Dust mite covers are encasings used to cover pillows, mattresses, mattress pads, futons, comforters, and box springs. They can be purchased in sizes to match your bed (twin, queen, etc.) and in various depths depending on the thickness of your mattress. Dust mite covers work by trapping dust mites inside your pillows and mattress and by preventing new ones from entering. By doing this, they keep allergens out of the air you breathe and help increase your chances for a restful night’s sleep.
