choose a non-allergenic mattress

Choosing a mattress is not easy, especially for people with allergies who also have to take special precautions when buying a mattress .

Allergens such as dust mites and mold can cause allergic reactions , rashes , and asthma .

As a specialist in high-quality mattresses , we will look at some tips for choosing a suitable mattress for people suffering from allergies.


Tip 1: Avoid feather mattresses

Choose hypoallergenic mattresses , which significantly reduce the presence of dust mites.

Tip 2: It is essential to look for hypoallergenic mattresses

Hypoallergenic mattresses are designed and sometimes certified to reduce allergens such as dust mites and mold. They are made with materials that are less likely to retain allergens, such as natural or synthetic latex foam and memory foam.

The Jade Premium Hybrid Mattress or the Mila Hybrid Spring Mattress , for example, are memory foam and hybrid mattresses, respectively. They may be more expensive than other mattress types, but they can provide additional comfort and peace of mind for allergy sufferers.


Tip 3: Use hypoallergenic mattress covers


Hypoallergenic mattress covers can help reduce allergens by creating a physical barrier between you and the mattress. Mattress covers are available in a variety of sizes and styles to suit your needs, depending on the size and thickness of your mattress.


Tip 4: Look for antimicrobial mattresses


Antimicrobial mattresses are designed to prevent the growth of bacteria , mold, and other microorganisms that can cause allergies. Antimicrobial mattresses may be more expensive than others, but they can provide additional protection against allergens, which is important when you suffer from allergies.


Tip 5: Wash bedding regularly


Regularly washing your bedding, such as sheets, pillowcases, and blankets, can help reduce allergens.

To do this, use hot water and a hypoallergenic detergent to kill dust mites and mold. Generally, washing your bedding once a week should help significantly reduce allergy symptoms.

You can also clean your mattress and pillows with a steamer , to disinfect them naturally before putting clean sheets back on.


Tip 6: Check customer reviews

Customer reviews can be a great way to determine if a mattress is suitable for allergy sufferers. Look for online customer reviews to find out if the mattress is hypoallergenic and if customers have had any allergic reactions.
