Dust mites have been a part of our lives since humans began living in protected shelters. Over time, these homes have become progressively warmer, for our comfort, but unfortunately also for the convenience of these little creatures.

Indeed, if there's one thing you need to know about dust mites, it's that they like warm, damp places. Logically, they will live best in places where they are least likely to be disturbed, i. places that are cleaned and vacuumed less often.

This is why they are most often found in carpets, curtains, sofas and of course beds. As our bed is one of the places we spend the most time in within our home, anti-allergy bedding is a great solution for people with dust mite allergies, as it will help you get rid of these annoying bugs and sleep peacefully.

Knowing all these symptoms, it's no wonder that finding sleep can seem impossible for some. So what are you waiting for to sleep in anti-allergy bedding that will ease your allergies? Since the beginning of this article, we have been saying that anti-allergy bedding is the solution to your allergy problems, but how does it actually work?

Bambaw bed sheets are made of bamboo, a highly breathable material, making them the ideal anti-allergy bedding. Due to the structure of the bamboo fibres, moisture does not get trapped in the bedsheets but can evaporate, keeping your bed dry and at the ideal temperature.

It reduces the chances of survival of dust mites and other bacteria that usually thrive in damp areas. Unlike cotton, bamboo does not need pesticides to grow. Bamboo sheets, therefore, contain no chemicals and are far less aggressive on the skin than other traditional materials that tend to create itching and redness on the skin.

The breathability of bamboo bed sheets and the natural character of the fabric, when combined, give Bambaw's bedsheets antibacterial properties, which means that they can limit the production of small bacterial organisms. For all these reasons, bamboo sheets are the perfect option for anti-allergy sheets and will give you the restful nights you deserve.

Many of the top anti-allergy duvets are filled with wool. This is because it is antibacterial, and wool is naturally hostile to dust mites. Mattress toppers made from allergen-resistant materials like latex and memory foam help to keep dust mites and other allergens away from your mattress.

Your bedding should act as a dust mite barrier. This means it will be more difficult for them to come into direct contact with your skin. The dust mite barrier should still be fairly breathable, allowing moisture to pass through it while still feeling cool.

Hypoallergenic materials are made without the use of harmful chemicals. These chemicals can cause skin reactions for anyone who has sensitive skin. If you are someone that struggles with allergies, it may be safer to stick to hypoallergenic bedding to prevent allergic reactions.

Because anti-allergy bedding is predominantly made from synthetic fibers, it is easier to wash. By creating a barrier against allergens and promoting a cleaner, healthier sleep environment, anti-allergy bedding can help alleviate symptoms, allowing you to wake up refreshed and ready to face the day.

Allergy-proof bedding refers to bedding made from tightly woven fabrics that act as a barrier for allergens, dust and dust mites. They are a preventative measure, so they will certainly not solve all of your allergy-related problems.

No, hypoallergenic refers to fabrics that are made without the use of harmful chemicals that could cause an allergic reaction. Anti-allergy bedding is made from tightly woven fabrics that help prevent allergens from building up in your bed.

Allergies to house dust mites can also trigger respiratory or dermatological conditions such as eczema and asthma.

What is the difference between hypoallergenic and anti-allergy bedding? While the phrases hypoallergenic and anti-allergy are often used interchangeably, they mean two slightly different things.

Unlike materials such as polyester, which can cause an itchy rash in some people, cotton is safe even on the most sensitive skin. Anti-allergy duvets and pillows have a filling and case that have been treated to eliminate allergens. Read our guide to choosing the right anti-allergy bedding for you.

What materials are best for sensitive skin and allergies? To prevent overheating, which can lead to a frenzy of scratching, use a lightweight anti-allergy or hypoallergenic duvet and top with a wool blanket — wool is also temperature-regulating and house dust-mite resistant — on cooler nights.

House dust mites like damp, humid conditions and down- and feather-filled duvets and pillows offer excellent temperature control. This means those allergic to house dust mites can enjoy the natural comfort of down and feather bedding — especially if the bedding carries the Nomite mark.

These pillows combine natural fills with a tightly woven down- and feather-proof fabric that prevents house dust mites passing through.

This bedding is made from recycled plastic bottles and certified by The Vegan Society, making it just as good for the environment as your bed.

Got carpet? Consider replacing it with hardwood floors if possible. It's also a good idea to remove any rugs from the area sorry, rug lovers since they tend to collect a lot of dust. If you can't help having carpet in your bedroom, vacuum with a double micro-filter bag or HEPA filter every other day.

For pet owners, look for vacuum cleaners for pet hair. Wear a face mask while you vacuum so you don't inhale allergens, and limit your vacuuming to the daytime so the dust has time to settle before you go to sleep.

Another option is to get a self-emptying robot vacuum to do all the work. Take this tip with a grain of salt, but studies have indicated that an unmade bed is better for allergy sufferers.

That's because dust mites thrive in the humid, warm conditions of a neatly made bed, but dry out when the blankets are left thrown off. Researcher Dr. Stephen Pretlove told BBC News "We know that mites can only survive by taking in water from the atmosphere using small glands on the outside of their body.

Something as simple as leaving a bed unmade during the day can remove moisture from the sheets and mattress so the mites will dehydrate and eventually die. Wang H, Hu W, Liang Z, et al. Thiol peroxiredoxin, a novel allergen from Bombyx mori, modulates functions of macrophages and dendritic cells.
