Latex mattresses - Make your bed allergy free

Suffering from allergies can lead to changes in your physical, emotional and mental state. If you want to enjoy a healthier and more restful sleep, you need to remove all allergens such as dust mites, animal dander and pollen from your bedding. The first step to eliminating your allergy symptoms is finding an “allergy-safe” mattress that you can sleep on free of allergy-causing culprits. Fortunately, there are many things you can do to experience a noticeable difference in your allergy symptoms.

Prevent dust mites in pillows and bedding

The best way to keep your bed allergen-free is to wash your cover weekly with hot water. Covers should be washed with appropriate products and dried in a hot dryer to form a protective cover that prevents allergens from entering your bed surface. If your mattress or pillow isn't brand new, you can still use this method for extra protection. Dust mite covers trap allergens that can cause asthma, runny nose, and sneezing while sleeping.

There are many claims from mattress manufacturers that washing with hot water removes the allergens and can also kill dust mites. Routine cleaning is necessary to maintain a dust-free environment and can also help reduce exposure to cockroaches, another major cause of asthma in some allergy sufferers.

No pets allowed

If you are sensitive to dust, especially if you have allergies and/or asthma, you can reduce your misery by creating a "dust-free" bedroom. Dust can contain mold, fibers and dander from dogs, cats and other animals, as well as tiny dust mites. These mites, which live in bedding, upholstered furniture and carpets, thrive in the summer and die in the winter. However, they will continue to thrive in the winter when the house is warm and humid. Particles suspended in a beam of sunlight include dead mites and their waste products. The waste products actually trigger the allergic reaction.

You probably can't control the dust conditions in which you work or spend your day. If your nose is running and your eyes are suffering too, I have some bad news: it's time to ban your pets from sleeping in your bed. The proteins in a pet's skin can also trigger an allergic reaction, so it's best to keep your cat or dog away from the bed. Pet allergy symptoms are not naive, so it is important to clean all bedding to remove any pet hair that has previously settled. If your cat or dog tries to sneak into your bed for any reason, keep your bedroom doors closed so your cat or dog cannot get in.

You need to make sure you focus on cleaning your home and keeping it fresh and allergy-free. There is no point in drinking any medicine and sleeping on a poisonous bed. To limit the danger inside your home, you need to solve the problem with the air you breathe at night. Smoking can also be a possible cause of your allergy symptoms.
