How Dust Mites Will Impact Your Pillow in 5 Years

An average queen-sized mattress hosts around 2 million dust mites, feeding on your flaked skin cells, excreting 20 to 30 faecal pellets, 15 microns in size, twice their body weight, every day. A 6 year old pillow can hold up to a tenth of it’s weight in dustmite bodies and faecal matter.

Just consider, each morning you awaken to an extra 40-60 million faecal pellets in your mattress! If dust mites allergy related symptoms are affecting you, encasing mattresses, pillows and doonas may provide welcome relief.

This is the number one most important environmental dust mite control for dust mite allergic patients. Combined with dust mites mattress protectors, pillow covers are the first line of defense against dust mite allergen for allergic and asthmatic sufferers.

Custom Mattress Protector Sizes

For many years, we were pleased to assist customers requiring custom-sized AllerProtect mattress protectors.

Unfortunately, our manufacturer has recently changed their production requirements and now only accepts large-volume custom orders. As a small family business, this makes individual custom-made protectors unavailable at this time.

We understand this may be disappointing for customers with non-standard mattress sizes, caravans, antique beds, specialist bedding, or custom-built mattresses.

We continue to offer our full range of standard AllerProtect mattress, pillow and doona protectors and are happy to help determine the closest suitable size where possible.

Should custom manufacturing become available again in the future, we will be delighted to revisit this service.

Thank you for your understanding.

HOW TO

Independent Testing

It’s one thing to say your product is natural and healthy, but another to back it up with third-party independent certifications that shows how Mitey Fresh is committed to providing transparency of our products and their manufacturing processes.

To keep your mattress and pillow natural and fresh, we recommend regular airing standing up on its side. Pillows each morning and mattresses every 3 months to ensure air flow to the underside.

For mattresses and pillows containing latex, we advise keeping the latex out of the direct sunlight. This ensures a longer life span and keeps the latex materials from degrading.

For wool mattresses and pillows, and containing no latex, airing in direct sunlight will refresh and rejuvenate the wool contents.

Removable covers can be washed in cold water and line dried. For mattresses and pillows with no removable cover, any stains can be spot-treated with mild, natural solution. We advice against washing your mattresses or pillow or using sprays.

  • The Heart of Mitey Fresh

    Mitey Fresh has never been about selling products.

    It has always been about listening.

    Listening to families.

    Listening to homes.

    Listening to the questions that don't always have simple answers.

    Since 1996, those conversations have shaped everything we do. Every product, every service and every new direction has grown from a real family asking, "Can you help us?"

    Nearly three decades later, our answer remains the same.

    We'll listen.

    We'll learn.

    And if there's a better way to help...

    We'll go looking for it.
