Top class comfort by: Toots (Washington DC) "I have tried using encasings before because of my dustmite allergy and sinus problems but always found them hot and noisy and one (synthetic) brand gave off an unpleasant odor. The Cottonfresh covers could not have been more different. The cotton is simply superb, soft and silky and the covers are beautifully made. Best of all I have never slept so..."

Features of Cottonfresh Natural Cotton Comforter Dust Mite Covers
How it Works:
These covers have been tested at the Entomology Center at the University of Cambridge and by the British Textiles Technology Group. The tests show that the fabric is impenetrable by the house dustmite allergen. They also carry an Eco-Tex certificate, which is a European standard of textile purity, which guarantees the cloth is free of harmful chemicals and of 21 specific allergens. But best of all, the covers are supremely comfortable to sleep on, a benefit particularly welcome to non-sufferers too.The only chemical treatment applied to the fabric after weaving is washing with a washing agent to remove impurities picked up in processing followed by rinsing in water. No other substances have been applied to the cloth.
Care of:
Cottonfresh covers may be washed at high temperature. The manufacturer recommends laundering the comforter dust mite cover every few months month. Wash pillow covers once a month. The cloth is pre-shrunk but there may be an additional 2% shrinkage if washed at high temperatures. This extra shrinkage actually makes the weave tighter still and therefore more protective.
Craftsmanship of:
It is constructed of 100 percent unbleached undyed, and untreated all natural cotton, which has been tightly woven and specially finished for unique allergen barrier properties. The fabric is designed to combine the natural luxury of 240 thread count cotton with the barrier properties of a tiny pore sized woven fabric. Since we spend almost one third of our lives in our bedroom it makes sense to make it a healthy enjoyable place to be. One of the easiest, most economical solutions is to encase your comforter with zippered tightly woven covers.

Minuses:
As with all woven dust mite covers, these will reduce in efficiency over time as wear and repeated washing will naturally increase the pore size of the fabric. Wash only when necessary to extend the life of these covers.
Summary:
Cottonfresh represents the latest developments in allergy avoidance bedding. Barrier covers for pillows, duvets and mattresses have been around for a while now, but usually relying on synthetic fabrics and plastic membranes to keep house dust mite allergens at bay. But these materials can be unsuitable for anyone sensitive to chemicals or who find synthetics hot or noisy to sleep on. Cottonfresh are soft, smooth and feel more comfortable than even regular cotton pillow case covers. We heard about a UK firm which
has made a major breakthrough in quality and comfort with their Cottonfresh dust mite covers and tracked them down. We had samples of their barrier covers sent over to test for our members and believe me they are the "Rolls Royce" of allergy free bedding! Cottonfresh barrier covers are made of 100% pure natural unbleached cotton. The Cottonfresh fabric has been tested and found to have a pore size of 3.45 microns which is well below the 10 microns needed to block dust mites.
