Duvet Covers

Many people suffer from allergies. Although it’s commonly assumed that most allergies are related to pollen and plant matter or pet dander, one of the most common allergies is to the common dust mite. Dust mites are microscopic creatures that live on household dust. They digest this dust and we can develop allergies to them. Their dead bodies and waste can be inhaled and trigger allergic reactions. Bedding is one of the materials that dust mites thrive on.

Down filled comforters and pillows are even more ideal habitats for dust mites than other types of bedding and for this reason it’s important that if you use a down comforter, that you find a duvet cover that blocks allergens such as dust mites from either entering or escaping the down comforter.

Allergy Armor is one of the brands of duvet covers that blocks allergens such as dust mites and they even have designs which can block the smaller allergy producing particles such as pet dander.

These are easy to care for as the duvet cover can simple be taken off and machine washed with either warm or hot water and they can be comfortable and soft because they use tightly woven fabrics to act as a barrier to allergens instead of using a urethane membrane as backing.
