Description of Cottonfresh Natural Cotton Mattress and Pillow Dust Mite Covers
These pure cotton encasing from Europe are constructed of 100% all-natural cotton that is unbleached, undyed, and untreated. The CottonFresh fabric has passed stringent European testing and is Eco-Tex certified, guaranteeing it to be free of harmful chemicals and 21 specific allergens. The cotton is woven so tightly that dust mites cannot get through, yet it remains lightweight, silky, supple, and breathable. Besides being one of our lightest and smoothest dust mite covers, CottonFresh offers the smallest average pore size of any of our pure cotton dust mite covers! Tested in Europe at the Entomology Center at the University of Cambridge and by the British Textiles Technology Group, as well as in the USA by Porous Materials, Inc., these dust mite covers have an extremely small pore size of 3.45 microns, which is well below the required 6 micron needed to prevent dust mites an their allergens from passing. Natural in color with nylon zipper closures.
Also available as duvet covers to keep your comforters dust mite free.
Features of Cottonfresh Natural Cotton Mattress and Pillow Dust Mite Covers
How it Works:If you wake up in the morning with itchy, watery eyes, nasal stuffiness, runny nose, and in some cases asthma you may be allergic to dust mites and their allergens. These allergic reactions to mite allergens can be a year round problem. Dust mites live in mattresses, comforters, carpeting and upholstery. These Cottonfresh dust mite covers provide a barrier against 99.95% of dust mites and their allergens. 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 mattress and pillows with zippered, tightly woven dust mite covers.
Please measure your mattress plus mattress pad depth to be sure these will fit over them before ordering. These zippered mattress covers are 9" or 15" deep. They are also now available in crib mattress sizes. Put your sheets and pillow cases over these covers.
Specifications: 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 dust mite 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:
The dust mite covers are closed by a fine zip fastener and may be washed at high temperature. The manufacturer recommends laundering them every few months month if used under standard sheets and comforter covers. 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.

Pluses:

Fabric is a lightweight cotton with a soft sateen feel. You will not even know these are on your bed or pillows.
Fabric is made from a pure natural cotton that is Eco-Tex(Oeko-Tex) certified guaranteeing it to be free of harmful chemicals and 21 specific allergens that are commonly used in manufacturing textiles
Safe for those with sensitive skin or Multiple Chemical Sensitivities
Very impressive fabric and construction quality
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.
