Yes. Dust mite allergens are one of the most common triggers for both eczema flare-ups and night-time asthma. By sealing your mattress, pillows and duvet you remove that exposure at its biggest source, your bed, where you spend 8 hours every night breathing inches from millions of mites. In the NHS hospital trial, children with full bed encasement were 45% less likely to need hospital care for a severe asthma flare-up. Customers with eczema regularly tell us their skin calms within the first few weeks.

Most solutions treat the symptoms, not the cause. Dust mites live inside your mattress, pillow and duvet, and sprays or antihistamines can't reach them there. Our encasements physically seal your bedding with a precision zip, blocking 100% of dust mites from reaching you every night. It is a permanent fix, not a workaround.

Standard cotton isn't dust mite proof.

Ordinary cotton has a loose weave. Dust mites and allergens pass straight through. It feels soft, but it won't stop your symptoms.

Our Organic eucalyptus silk blocks them.

A tight micro-weave with pores around 10x smaller than a dust mite. A real barrier — no plasticky coating needed.

It breathes.

Most barrier fabrics feel hot and crinkly. Eucalyptus silk doesn't. Cool, quiet, and soft against the skin.

Gentle on sensitive skin.

Smooth and soothing — important if itching keeps you up at night.

Yes, it costs more.

Eucalyptus silk is pricier than cotton. We use it because it's the only fabric that blocks dust mites and stays breathable and comfortable. Cheaper bedding doesn't solve the problem — so it isn't really cheaper.

Protectors go on first and stay on. They fully encase your mattress, pillows and duvet with a sealed zip, locking dust mites and their allergens inside where they can no longer reach you. They sit under your normal bedding and only need a wash or vacuum every 1 to 3 months.

Anti dust mite bedding (fitted sheet, duvet cover, pillowcases) is the layer you actually sleep against. It is gentle on sensitive and eczema-prone skin and built to be washed weekly at 60 degrees, the temperature that kills dust mites. Most ordinary bedding cannot take a 60 degree wash, so it never gets truly clean.

Use both together for the full system: protectors seal the mites in, bedding keeps the surface you sleep on clean.n enough. Use both for the full system.

Yes. Those symptoms are caused by allergens you breathe in while you sleep. By sealing your mattress, pillows and duvet, you cut off that exposure completely. Most customers notice a real difference within two to four weeks. Many tell us it is the first thing that has actually worked.

No harsh chemicals, ever. Our 1000 thread Eucalyptus Silk is a completely natural fabric, with nothing sprayed or coated on it that could irritate your skin.

It's woven so tightly that the pores measure around 5 microns, which is small enough to stop dust mites and their allergen particles from getting through. It works purely through the fabric structure, so it never washes out.

All materials are OEKO-TEX certified and safe for sensitive skin.

They are water resistant rather than waterproof. The tight 5 micron weave protects against most stains and small accidents, but it is not designed for heavy spills. That is deliberate: a fully waterproof layer traps heat and sleeps hot, and we prioritise dust mite protection and breathability.

Years of nightly use. The barrier is woven into the fabric so it never washes out, and with 60 degree washing every 1 to 3 months the encasements outlast most bedding. Every set carries a 1 year warranty, and if a zip ever fails we replace it free.

Absolutely. All materials are OEKO-TEX certified and safe for children, including those with eczema or asthma. We include a Cot Bed size in this set. Encasing your child's bed is one of the most recommended steps by allergists for reducing symptoms without relying on medication.

Not at all. Once you encase your mattress, the allergens inside are sealed away from you. Your existing mattress, pillow and duvet are all fine to use. No need to throw anything out or buy new bedding first.

Nothing like those. Our eucalyptus silk is genuinely soft, breathable and silent. Once your normal bedding is on top you will forget they are there. A lot of customers are surprised by how comfortable they are.

The barrier works from night one. Most people start noticing less congestion and irritation within one to two weeks, with a clearer improvement by the end of the first month.

Wash them once a month at 60 degrees and let them air dry. Do not tumble dry. The barrier does not degrade with washing because it is built into the fabric structure. Your bedding on top should be washed weekly to monthly at 60 degrees as part of your normal routine.

Air drying typically takes around 24 hours. Need the bed sooner? Vacuum the encasement that month instead of washing, or keep a second set to rotate.

We offer Cot Bed, Single, Double, King and Super King. If your mattress falls between sizes, go up to the next one. It still gives you full protection and is easier to fit. Our standard encasement suits mattresses between 10 and 30cm deep. For mattresses between 30 and 45cm, you will need our deep fit version which is listed separately on the site.
