€79,00

Two eucalyptus silk pillowcases, 50 x 75cm, with a zip closure. Fits standard UK pillows.

This is the layer your face rests on all night. The 40 micron eucalyptus silk is woven far tighter than ordinary cotton, so skin cells cannot settle into the weave and there is less for dust mites to feed on. It is smooth, quiet and free of chemical treatments, and it washes at 60°C, the temperature that kills dust mites.

Pillowcase or protector? The pillowcase is the top layer. The sealed pillow protector underneath is what traps the mites already living inside your pillow. Most customers use both, which is why the bundle above pairs them.

Doing the whole bed? The Anti Dust Mite Bedding Set gives you the fitted sheet, duvet cover and these two pillowcases in the same 40 micron eucalyptus silk, Single to Super King.

Size & Fit

One size: 50 x 75cm, the standard UK pillow size. You get 2 pillowcases in the set, each with a zip closure so the pillow stays put.

They fit standard and plumper pillows. If your pillows are 50 x 90cm king size, call us on 0330 122 1646 before you order and we will advise.

Use them over the Pillow Protectors (Standard 50 x 75cm) for a fully sealed pillow.

Care & Washing

Wash weekly at 60°C with your normal detergent. 60 degrees is the temperature that kills dust mites, and the eucalyptus silk is made for it.

Line dry where you can to keep the silk soft. If you tumble dry, use a low heat.

Because the pillowcase is the layer you strip and wash each week, the sealed Pillow Protector underneath stays undisturbed and only needs washing every 1 to 3 months.

Fabric & Certifications

1,000 thread count eucalyptus silk (Tencel lyocell) with a 40 micron tested barrier weave, far tighter than ordinary cotton, so skin cells cannot settle into the fabric and dust mites have less to feed on.

It feels like silk, not plastic, and it is quiet under your head: no crinkle, no crunch, which is why customers with sensory sensitivities choose it.

OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified by TESTEX, the Swiss textile testing institute. No coatings and no chemical treatments, so the barrier is woven in and never washes out.

Anti dust mite pillow case set of 2 in eucalyptus silk, hypoallergenic and washable at 60 degrees, by iDustMite

How It Works

The layer your face rests on, and how it works with the protector underneath:

A zipped pillow protector seals your pillow on all sides, trapping the dust mites and allergen already inside it so they cannot reach you

This 40 micron eucalyptus silk case covers the protector. It is smooth against your skin, far tighter woven than ordinary cotton, and it is the surface your face actually touches all night.

Skin cells cannot settle into a loose weave and mites cannot work their way up from the pillow. There is no chemical treatment involved, it is the fabric structure doing the work, so nothing washes out.

60 degrees is the temperature that kills dust mites. Because the case is what you strip and wash each week, the sealed protector underneath stays undisturbed and only needs washing every one to three months.

The Evidence Behind Your Set

Anyone can claim their bedding blocks dust mites. Here is who has actually checked ours.

NHS doctors buy it for their own beds

The clearest endorsement we could ask for. NHS doctors and nurses, the people who deal with dust mite allergy, asthma and eczema every working day, order our protectors for their own bedrooms and their own children.

They could choose any barrier bedding on the market. They choose this one.

Independently Lab Tested

Woven too tight for dust mites to pass

Tested by Shirley, a respected UK textile laboratory, not by us. A dust mite measures around 250 microns and its allergens 10 to 40 microns. Our protectors are built to a 5 micron barrier, so nothing gets through in either direction.

Standard cotton, shown left, lets mites and allergens straight through.

OEKO-TEX Standard 100
OEKO-TEX Standard 100

Safe against the most sensitive skin

Certified by TESTEX, the Swiss textile testing institute, and held in the iDustMite name. Every fabric is tested for harmful substances and passed as safe for adults, children and eczema-prone skin. No coatings, no chemical treatments, nothing sprayed on.

The barrier is woven into the fabric, so it never washes out.

FAQs.

Everything you need to know about dust mite protection.

Not on their own, and we would rather tell you that up front. These are bedding, the top layer that touches your face. They are woven to a 40 micron barrier, far tighter than ordinary cotton, but the layer that actually seals dust mites in is a fully zipped pillow protector underneath. If you only buy one thing for your pillows, buy the protector first and add these on top.

The protector is a fully zipped encasement with a 5 micron barrier. It goes directly onto your pillow, seals it on all sides, and traps the mites and allergen already inside so they cannot reach you. These pillowcases go over the top. They are 40 micron eucalyptus silk, softer against your face, and they are what you wash weekly. The protector seals, the pillowcase covers. You want both.

They do two useful things. Your face is against this layer for eight hours a night, so it is worth that layer being smooth eucalyptus silk rather than ordinary cotton with a looser weave. And washing a pillowcase weekly at 60 degrees is far easier than stripping and washing a protector, so the protector underneath stays sealed and undisturbed for longer.

The order that makes the biggest difference is mattress protector first, encasing all six sides, then pillow and duvet protectors, then the bedding layer on top. Your mattress is by far the largest dust mite reservoir in the room, so sealing it is where most of the relief comes from. The Protector Set covers mattress, pillows and duvet in one go, and it is the step most customers take before adding bedding.

If you are replacing your bedding anyway, yes. The bedding set is the fitted sheet, duvet cover and two pillowcases in the same eucalyptus silk, so the whole surface your skin touches is the same fabric rather than just the pillows. If you only want to change what is under your face for now, the pillowcases on their own are a sensible place to start.

Yes. They are OEKO-TEX certified with no chemical treatments of any kind, so there is nothing sprayed on the fabric sitting against your child's skin. Parents buying for a child with eczema usually start with a sealed pillow protector, because that is what stops the exposure, and use these pillowcases over the top for softness and easy weekly washing.

They are 1,000 thread count eucalyptus silk, OEKO-TEX certified. No, they do not feel plasticky or crinkly. That is the usual complaint about cheaper anti allergy bedding and it is exactly why we use eucalyptus silk. It is smooth and quiet with no crunch when you move at night, which customers with sensory sensitivity tell us matters more than anything else.

Wash weekly at 60 degrees, the temperature that kills dust mites. Line drying is best for keeping the softness. They are suitable for normal household washing and need nothing special. Washing the pillowcase weekly is what keeps the allergen load down between the less frequent washes of the protector underneath.

Each set contains two pillowcases at 75cm x 50cm, the standard UK pillow size, so they fit ordinary UK pillows including our own. If you have oversized or continental pillows, call us on 0330 122 1646 before ordering and we will check the fit for you.

The fitted sheet and duvet cover zip up easily and the fabric is wonderfully smooth on my sensitive skin. No more itching at all! Waking up refreshed and ready for a proper cuppa instead of wanting to scratch my arms off. Highly recomend for anyone suffering with those awful mites

Finally some relief for my son

we tried immunotherapy for my boy for over six months with literally zero improvement. sent him off to uni this semester and he was absolutely miserable in the dorms waking up stuffy every day. ordered this complete bedding set for him and had it shipped directly to his hall. he put the fitted sheet, duvet cover, and pillow cases on right away. the fabric feels like normal high quality material but creates a proper barrier against the dust. he says the meds didn't do much but this bedding actually lets him breathe and sleep. definately worth the price to know hes comfortable away from home

Extremely helpful customer service

Extremely helpful and generous customer service and the product looks good too (haven’t used it yet so cannot comment on the allergy effectiveness)

The material is durable and the zippers don't feel like they’ll snap off. Withholding one star because it wrinkles easily in the dryer, and I prefer low-maintenance solutions

I cannot recommend this enough

I cannot recommend this enough. Waking up feeling completely refreshed, without the usual allergy symptoms, is a luxury in itself.

the price is slightly steep for a basic white set, but the return on investment for your health makes it justifiable

Delivery was quick and the packaging was solid, which is always a plus with online shopping. The anti-allergen barrier is technically sound, but the actual feel of the fabric is a letdown. It’s quite go and reminds me a bit of a hotel. If you're someone who values comfort as much as the allergy specs, you might want to look at other options!! allergies did improve

If you value a beautiful home as much as a good night's sleep, I couldn't recommend this highly enough!

The fitted sheet is just a fraction tight on our deeper mattress, but otherwise, it is an excellent product.

only giving 4 stars because I really wish they did it in a dark grey or navy! white is lovely and crisp but shows up absolutely everything, especially with the dog sneaking on the bed

Was sick of waking up with itchy skin so took a punt on this

Was sick of waking up with itchy skin so took a punt on this. glad I did. it is s definitely helped reduce the irritation. the fitted sheet is a good size too, actually goes under the mattress properly withoutpinging off in the middle of the night which is a pet hate of mine

like Sleeping on a cloud

My daughter has bad eczema. She stopped scratching instantly and said it was like sleeping on a cloud 🥰

I was concerned about the seal, but the mattress encasement has a secondary flap of fabric that tucks under the zipper head, ensuring no allergens can escape through the teeth. The fabric is also high quality

the zippers seal completely, but the fabric stays breathable. really good quality material, too.

Fantastic experience from beginning to end. The items arrived promptly and are of outstanding quality.

My previous dust mite coverings were old and not up to the task. Once I fitted the new coverings to my mattress, duvet and pillows I noticed an immediate improvement in my breathing. Over time I notice my eczema also improved.

Many thanks for your feedback Stu - we really love seeing our customers allergy symptoms improve after using our products!
