Dust Mite Pillow Encasing

by | Mar 9, 2020 | Q & A | 1 comment

Question from Sheryl

We are allergic to dust mites in pillows and mattresses.  There are organic cotton encasings for pillows but from my research and an allergist the tight weave in cotton will loosen over time allowing the dust mites to get in to the pillow.  The other option which holds it’s tight weave is micro-fiber.  I like a brand called “Mission Allergy”.  Do you think it would be toxic to sleep on micro-fiber?

 

 

Lisa’s Answer

 

I recommend Naturepedic organic cotton pillow protector.  It is made with GOT Certified organic cotton and GOTS approved polyurethane film.

    I have for many years all barrier cloth mattress cover and pillow case cover. I am happy with them and do wash them every 6 months. Iam extremely allergic to dust mites and never had a reaction to them sleeping in my bed.
