Mite-Guard Doona Protector

Mite-Guard Doona Protector – Gentle Barrier, Powerful Protection

Protect your family’s sleep with the Mite-Guard Doona Protector, a lightweight, breathable solution for managing dust mites, allergens and mould spores in your bedding. This full-encasement cover is crafted to safeguard your quilt or doona without compromising on comfort or air flow.

Developed using a micron dust filter membrane between two layers of inert fabric, the Mite-Guard protector is designed to block allergens as small as dust mite droppings and mould spores — making it ideal for anyone with asthma, eczema, hay fever, or chronic respiratory issues. It creates a 360° zippered barrier around your quilt or doona, protecting from allergens that typically accumulate in bedding over time.

Unlike noisy or plastic-feeling covers, the soft polypropylene fabric is whisper-quiet and featherlight. It allows natural body heat and moisture to pass through without trapping it, making it perfect for year-round comfort — especially in Australian climates.

Bonus: You can confidently use natural wool or feather-filled doonas with less frequent hot washing, preserving your investment while reducing allergen load.

This cover is machine washable at 60°C, making it simple to clean and maintain for long-term use. It’s free from PVCs and chemical coatings, making it safe for babies, children and chemically sensitive individuals.

Clinical Guidance: Enclosed Bedding in Pediatric Asthma Care

The American Academy of Pediatrics Clinical Report on asthma management highlights that indoor environmental control—especially allergen reduction—is a cornerstone of asthma care, often matching the effectiveness and cost of medications publications.aap.orgpure.johnshopkins.edu.

Key Recommendation:

Use an environmental history to identify common triggers, like pets, pests, mould and dust mites and then apply tailored strategies:

• Source removal/control

• Targeted mitigation like HEPA air purifiers and allergen-proof mattress and pillow encasements pure.johnshopkins.edu

Encasement Evidence:

• A meta-analysis of 15 studies on bedding encasements for dust mite–sensitized children showed that:

  • 14 demonstrated significant reductions in allergen exposure

  • In 7 of those, allergen levels dropped by at least 80%

  • Importantly, 5 studies reported that these allergen reductions led to improvements in asthma symptoms pure.johnshopkins.edupublications.aap.org

---

✅ Why Bedding Encasement Works:

• Creates a sealed barrier around mattresses, pillows and duvets—where dust mites thrive

• Stops allergen exposure at the source, preventing them from becoming airborne

• Proven clinically to reduce dust mite allergens significantly—and to improve asthma control in children

---

Takeaway for Families:

Pairing allergen-proof encasements with other targeted strategies (like frequent washing, dust reduction and HEPA filters) is clinically recommended and shown to be highly effective in reducing symptoms and improving the quality of life for children with asthma.
