Description of Pristine Dust Mite Mattress and Pillow Covers
The term "pristine" implies clean, pure, and uncontaminated. By encasing your pillows, mattress, box spring and comforter in our Pristine® dust mite covers you will help keep your bed clean and uncontaminated from dust mites and their associated allergens. Designed to offer rest and relief to those who suffer from severe allergies, night sweats and skin conditions, our Pristine® dust mite covers feature patented fabric technology. They are soft and breathable made from a 260 thread count, very tightly woven 100% polyester. This fabric has a very small pore size of 2.6 microns that creates a barrier to dust mites and allergy-causing particles without using a membrane. These dust mite covers also have an antimicrobial treatment to help control the growth of odor causing bacteria and fungi. Our Pristine® dust mite covers offer performance and comfort at a reasonable price.
Features of Pristine Dust Mite Mattress and Pillow Covers
100% polyester with tightly woven construction
Anti-microbial protection: AEGIS Microbe Shield™ is applied during manufacturing. This treatment permanently bonds to the fiber surface to help control the growth of odor causing bacteria and fungi on the fabric. The antimicrobial treatment does not come off in laundering or during use.
Pristine fabric has been awarded the only two patents in the allergen barrier cover category (U.S. Patent Nos. 6,277,770 & 7,290,381)
Tested by independent labs to ensure allergen barrier performance
Extra small average pore size of 2.6 microns
The small pore size of the Pristine fabric is possible due to a special finishing process known as calendaring - the polyester fabric is subjected to extreme heat and pressure which shrinks the space between the threads of the fabric
Combines total allergen protection with a extraordinarily high level of comfort
Very breathable, as it is permeable to air and water vapor
Easy to launder and maintain – machine washable
Secure anti-rust zipper enclosures
Durable construction and finished seams
Plain weave
260 thread count, 3.3 oz per square yard

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 dust mite covers
provide a barrier for up to 99.95% of mites and their allergens.
They also protect you from mold spores that may exist in your camp
or vacation home mattress.
Pristine® Dust Mite Covers for Mattresses, Boxsprings, Pillows and Comforters
Pristine
covers are cool, comfortable and are air and moisture permeable. There
is no noisy, hot, sticky plastic layer attached to the back of this 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 mattress and pillow with zippered tightly woven dust mite covers.
For optimal protection,
an effective antimicrobial treatment, AEGIS Microbe Shield™, is added
to the Pristine Cotton Plus. This EPA approved protective finish inhibits
the growth of microorganisms on the fabric as well as controls mold and
mildew odors, soiling, staining, and deterioration. Bonded directly to
the fabric, this antimicrobial shield is permanent and cannot be destroyed
by repeated washings.
Care of:
Machine wash and dry up to 160 degrees. Can also be hung to dry to extend product life.

Pluses:
Excellent barrier against dust mites and allergens with a small mean pore size of 2.6 microns
Departments of Asthma, Allergy and Immunology at two leading Colleges of Medicine found that Pristine is an effective barrier to dust, dust mites, and associated allergens
Breathable with a moisture vapor transfer rate of 1100 (cotton has a MVTR of around 900)
Very comfortable to sleep on, no membrane and it does not have a vinyl feel or sound
Zipper closures are easy to use and create a secure, sealed fit
Easy to care for - safe to machine wash and dry
Durable construction and fabric. Pristine has been designed to remain effective after repeat washings and withholds its tight weave and small pore size better than the average woven fabric. After 50 washes, Pristine's pore size is still very small at 3.2 microns.
Minuses:
Not as soft as our cotton and organic cotton dust mite covers
Very sensitive skin may be irritated by the polyester fabric since it is a synthetic product
Woven fabrics will naturally increase in pore size with washing and wear which reduces their effective lifespan. However, these have improved washability and will remain an effective barrier longer than most woven fabrics.
Summary:
Pristine® is one of the best know allergen barrier fabrics on the market. It is a patented membrane free, micro-weave polyester fabric that feels nice to the touch and has a very small 2.6 micron pore size to offer great protection against dust mites and their allergens. It provides a cool, quiet and breathable sleeping surface that feels great under your sheets. The pristine covers will help keep you dry and comfortable as you sleep and will not make your pillows feel like a balloon as is the tendency with vinyl or laminated covers. These dust mite covers are also very durable, made with heavy gauge rust proof nylon zippers and sewn with 12 stitches per inch for ultimate strength against ripping. Another plus is they tend to retain their tight weave longer than the most top quality woven fabric, so they are a good choice if you like to (or need to) wash all you bedding often. One should note that the fabric is treated with an anti microbial agent which can be a good thing or a bad thing depending on your sensitivity to fabric treatments. If have super sensitive skin you probably would be better off choosing a natural or organic cotton dust mite cover just to be safe. If you have never had a reaction to a fabric then this is only an added benefit as it helps prevent the growth of bacteria and mold. One more thing to note, on the larger size covers, queen and above, the mattress and comforter covers will have a seam in them as the fabric is only made 66" wide. This will not bother most people because the covers are covered with sheets or a duvet cover, but is worth noting for those who are picky about seams.
