A customer told me our protector felt warmer than his cotton sheets. He had a point, and here’s why.

To stop dust mites getting through, the fabric has to be very tight, about 5 microns. A normal cotton weave has gaps of around 200 microns, which is how dust mites get in and out.

Tighter fabric means a little less airflow, so there’s always a trade-off between keeping dust mites out and sleeping cool. Ours is lab tested for pore size to get that balance right. If you run hot, a lighter duvet on top helps.

Buying a mattress protector? Measure the depth first, not just the width.

A proper protector covers all six sides of your mattress, so the depth decides whether it fits.

Got it wrong? Don’t worry. UK orders get a free pre-paid return label within 30 days, and size exchanges are free.

Just been diagnosed with a dust mite allergy, or has your child? Here’s the order I’d do things in:

Encase the mattress on all six sides. It’s where most dust mites live, and you can’t wash it.
Keep bedroom humidity under 50%.
Wash anything on the bed that isn’t in a protector at 60°C every week.
Swap a fabric bed frame for metal or wood, then hard floors if you can.
The air purifier comes last. Most dust mites are in the fabrics, not the air.

Start with the bed:

Got hay fever? Check your windows.

An open window can let pollen straight into your home. On high-pollen days, keep them closed when you can, and change your clothes when you come in from outside.

Still sneezing once pollen season’s over? It might be dust mites. Start with the bed:

Every week I receive emails and calls like this it makes my day

26/10/2026

Got a dust mite allergy? Start with the bed. Three steps:

Encase the mattress
Protect the pillows and duvet
Wash sheets and pillowcases at 60°C, where the care labels allow

The bed is where most symptoms start, so it’s where to put your effort first.

All three protectors in one set:

Does your vacuum have a HEPA filter?

It’s the part that captures the smallest particles while you vacuum, and some vacuums don’t have one. Check the filter details in your manual or on the machine.

Do you vacuum first? Try doing it last.

Dust falls as you clean, so start at the top. Wipe shelves with a damp cloth, then surfaces, and do the floors last. Your vacuum picks up everything that settled while you dusted.

And check your vacuum has a HEPA filter, so the finest dust stays in the machine. The one we use:

A personal one: I have a cleaner.

Cleaning stirs up dust and sets off my allergy, so I really value the help. If you can afford one, it’s worth it.

If not, try damp dusting instead of dry dusting, open a window, and leave the room for a while after hoovering. And start with the bed, so there’s less dust to stir up in the first place:

Does cleaning set yours off too? Tell me below.

Vacuuming your sofa too quickly? Most of us do.

If you get itchy or sneezy sitting on the sofa, slow down. Go over each section slowly and overlap your passes, so the brush can lift the dust out of the fabric.
