Allergen Protection

Strong Opponents, Stronger Defense.
A lot of different kinds of allergens are all around us every day. Whether or not you're allergic to dust mite allergens, the thought of them cohabitating with you while you sleep should be enough of a reason to want the best possible protection against these very persistent, very tiny, very prolific opponents.

Dust mites thrive on dust (a.k.a. skin particles) and moisture. Since each night the average adult sheds 40,000 skin cells every minute and perspires up to one liter, your mattress and pillows are naturally their home of choice.

Prevent Mold Before It Starts.
Mold is another irritant that allergists are finding more and more adults and children are allergic to. Mold needs moist conditions to grow and thrive. The best way to prevent mold from forming in your bed is to keep moisture away from mattresses and pillows while at the same time allowing air to flow through.

The only way to completely protect yourself and your family while you sleep is to prevent moisture and dust mite allergens from reaching your mattresses and pillows. The best way to do this is by using superior mattress and pillow protectors.

Featured on "The Today Show."
Such incredible allergen protection, even a PhD in microbiology and immunology uses our products at home! Phillip M. Tierno, Jr., Ph.D. is Director of Clinical Microbiology and Diagnostic Immunology at Tisch Hospital, N.Y.U. Medical Center, and author of "The Secret Life of Germs. Observations and Lessons from a Microbe Hunter."

On the subject of the effectiveness of mattress and pillow protectors, Dr. Tierno stated, "The most effective way to reduce environmental allergies and asthma irritants is to use impervious protectors that prevent dust mites and other allergy triggers from reaching mattresses and pillows."

Jennifer Baez appeared on The Today Show's January 11, 2006 segment where Dr. Tierno was interviewed by Matt Lauer about bedding allergens and how to protect against them.

Following her appearance on the show, Ms. Baez was given a PillowBarrier and purchased another one. When asked weeks later about her initial experience with our product, Ms. Baez said, "I'm asthmatic and was asked to bring my pillow on The Today Show to be inspected for mite and other creepy crawlies. I couldn't believe what was in there! I threw it out and bought two new ones that day. I put the PillowBarrier I got at the show on one and bought one for my other pillow. I used to wake up congested every morning. What a difference my PillowBarrier makes!"

Clean and Pest Free.
Cleaning bedding frequently helps, but no matter how often or diligently you clean, without proper protection, these freeloaders will find their way into mattress and pillow ticking where they embed and accumulate. Most mattresses double in weight every 10 years and most pillows double in weight in five years. That's a lot of accumulated dust, dust mite droppings and other contaminants. Using our products prevent them from ever reaching your mattress or pillow.

Our products can be washed in hot water at 130* which kills dust mites and washes away their feces. OmniGuard® Ultra fabric can also be dried on a high heat setting. OmniGuard® can be dried on no heat setting or air dried.

So, whether you are severely allergic or just want to keep your mattresses and pillows dust mite, mold and moisture free, visit the Our Products section to decide which of our line of products is right for you.
