Mite-Guard Mattress Protector

Mite-Guard Mattress Protector – Breathable, Trusted Dust Mite Defence

Breathe easy every night with the Mite-Guard Mattress Protector, your affordable, no-nonsense solution to dust mites, mould spores and airborne allergens in the bedroom. Created for sensitive sleepers and practical families alike, this protector forms a reliable barrier between you and the allergens that can disrupt sleep and wellbeing.

Mite-Guard uses a micron dust filter membrane sandwiched between two layers of inert fabric, engineered to block out dust mites and their waste — without harsh chemicals, plastic layers or noisy materials. Unlike many bulky covers, it’s soft, whisper-light and breathable, ensuring a comfortable night’s rest. Body moisture and heat pass through the material, making it ideal for warm climates.

This full-encasement cover zips around your mattress on all sides — forming a 360° barrier against allergens, pet dander and even mould spores. The micro-weave structure keeps microscopic particles out while maintaining airflow and is safe for babies, children and chemically sensitive individuals.

Crafted from 100% polypropylene, the protector is easy-care and durable. Simply machine wash at 60°C to remove allergen buildup — no dry cleaning, no bleach, no stress.

Bonus: Using Mite-Guard can reduce the need for frequent washing of bulky doonas and pillows. That means you can enjoy natural wool and feather bedding without worrying about triggering asthma or allergies. It’s a smart move for healthy home advocates.

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.
