Our heavyweight, 100% GOTS and SKAL certified organic cotton dust mite covers have an incredibly small pore size for ultimate protection against dust mites! Lab tested by Porous Materials, Inc (PMI) to have a mean pore size of only 3.85 microns, these tightly woven, 280 thread-count organic cotton mattress and pillow covers provide a guaranteed barrier against dust mites that can be as small as 10 microns and their feces, which can be much smaller. These dust mite covers are made of heavyweight, durable certified organic cotton that is unbleached and undyed. Easy to put on and take off with reinforced nylon zippers, these dust mite covers can be machine washed for easy care. Mattress covers have fitted pockets in a variety of depths for the perfect fit.

- Quality Fabric: 100% certified organic cotton, unbleached, undyed, offered in two weights. GOTS and SKAL certified organic.
- Heavyweight 280 thread-count Certified Organic Cotton: used for the mattress covers and heavyweight pillow covers, durable canvas-like feel, unbleached natural color
- Lightweight 260 thread-count Certified Organic Cotton: used to make lightweight pillow covers only, extremely soft and supple yet still durable, natural color
- Nylon Zipper: provides ease of use and comfort – mattress covers have a very long zipper with two pulls which runs halfway up one side along the bottom and halfway up the other side of the mattress cover for an easy fit

Pluses:
- Lab tested to provide effective dust mite protection with a small mean pore size of 3.85 microns; dust mites range in size and can be as small as 10 microns but their feces and debris can be even smaller, so the smaller the pore size the better
- SKAL and GOTS Certified organic cotton fabric is free of harmful chemicals or pesticides and is safe for those who suffer from allergies or are sensitive to chemicals
- Durable fabric and construction can safely be machine washed and tumbled dried
- Nylon zippers are smooth running and make it easy to get a secure shut. Nylon zippers are also more comfortable and discrete under your sheets than metal zippers.
Minuses:
- Organic cotton dust mite covers are more expensive than natural cotton or synthetic dust mite covers
- 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.
- The mattress covers are made out of a very heavy weight organic cotton fabric which can feel like a canvas. Some people do not like the feel of a heavy weight cover on their pillows or mattress.
Summary:
These are the only heavyweight organic cotton covers we carry. They provide excellent protection against dust mites and their debris and feces with a proven small pore size of 3.85 microns. You can be sure you are getting a quality organic cotton dust mite cover with our Home Essential organic cotton covers, as the fabric is SKAL and GOTS certified organic and tested by PMI for mean pore size and barrier efficiency. Backed by a 5 year warranty, they are durable and will withstand machine washing. The nylon zippers are easy to use and reinforced for strength while remaining discrete under your sheets. The dust mite covers are slightly oversized to account for shrinkage, so we recommend washing prior to use for best fit. The pillow covers are offered in the heavyweight organic mattress cover fabric and a lightweight organic fabric for those who prefer a thinner cover for their pillows. Both the heavy and light weight fabrics provide an excellent barrier to dust mites, though the heavyweight fabric has a slightly smaller pore size. None the less, I would recommend the lightweight fabric over the heavyweight fabric for a pillow cover because it is more supple and was preferred by our testers.Home Essentials Organic Cotton Pillow Dust Mite Covers
