Those who suffer from allergies can benefit from hypoallergenic mattress pads. Traditional pads can become filled with dust mites, pollen particles and many other tiny organisms that cause allergies to flare up, just like many mattresses. They are not easy to remove with typical vacuuming or even with disinfectant sprays. You will never be able to remove all the offenders in a typical product.
Those products designed to keep offending organisms away, by resisting mold and mildew that allow dust mites to feed on and in some cases, by providing a barrier through which they cannot enter. Materials used in these products include wool, natural latex and organic cotton. They are also made of fibers that generally do not irritate even those who are sensitive to many man made or synthetic materials.
A product made of all three materials is very effective in reducing levels of offending organisms, but is heavy and quite expensive. Those made of wool and latex provide additional support and can help relieve joint pain. They are lighter in weight and cost about half the price of those that use all three materials. For the best relief from irritating organisms, a product stuffed with mostly Alpaca wool, with some sheep's wool is available. While it is soft, it does not provide any additional support. It is the lightest product and also the least expensive.
Benefits of owning such a product include getting a better night's rest and the ability to breathe more freely while sleeping. Sneezing, itching, coughing and stuffiness are all symptoms that occur when offending organisms are present. These symptoms make it difficult to get to sleep or stay asleep. They can also affect breathing.
So, even if the appropriate amount of sleep is obtained, you may not feel entirely rested or even feel fatigue the next day. Using one of these protective covers can help those with symptoms related to sensitivity get a better night's sleep and feel less fatigued. Using this type of cover may also help reduce the likelihood of skin irritations from offending organisms as well.
Products offered by specialty stores can range in price from 0 to ,200. For those with a limited budget, products are available from department stores for around to . One model offered by Beauty Rest provides a natural cotton cover, with polyester filling. While this may not prevent dust mites from feeding, it is supposed to be less irritating to the skin and mucous membranes while sleeping. At 600 thread count, it is woven tightly enough that it may be a barrier for some organisms. It can also be helpful in allowing a more restful night.
