How Our Dust Free Frame Works
Almost certainly, yes. If you have already sealed your mattress, pillows and duvet and you still wake up blocked, itchy or streaming, the bed base underneath is the usual reason. It is the one part of the bed you cannot encase, it has never been cleaned, and it sits directly under you every night.
A divan box, an upholstered frame, an ottoman base or a set of wooden slats is a mattress-sized dust mite habitat. This frame replaces it with smooth, sealed steel that mites cannot live on and dust cannot cling to. Nothing to wash, nothing to seal, nothing left for them to feed on.
Dust mites need three things: fibres to burrow into, moisture held in the material, and undisturbed dust to feed on. Every conventional bed base gives them all three. Sealed steel gives them none.
| Bed base | What mites get from it | Can it be cleaned? |
|---|---|---|
| Divan base | A fabric-covered box that sits under your mattress for a decade, holding fibres, moisture and dust | No. It cannot be washed, sealed or opened |
| Upholstered or fabric frame | A mattress-sized fabric surface, plus a padded headboard your pillow rests against every night | Surface vacuuming only. The stuffing stays untouched |
| Ottoman or storage bed | Fabric, foam and a sealed cavity of still air and stored bedding that is rarely opened | No. The cavity is the worst of both |
| Wooden frame or slats | Joints, gaps and a porous material that absorbs bedroom moisture | Partly, but the joints and gaps stay |
| Sealed steel (this frame) | Nothing. No fibres, no foam, no moisture, no gaps | Yes. One wipe with a damp cloth, 30 seconds |
Their allergens rise straight up through the mattress while you sleep. That is why people encase everything and still wake up congested. Replacing the base removes the reservoir instead of covering it.
You do not need a new mattress. Keep the one you have, seal it with a protector, and put it on a base that holds nothing. This is step four of our priority order: seal the bed, control humidity below 50%, then take away the fabric and carpet that mites live in.

Most metal beds are sprayed over raw steel. The paint chips, the surface pits, and those rough patches hold dust and moisture the same way fabric does, only smaller. A cheap metal frame solves the fabric problem and quietly creates a new one.
Ours goes through four stages before the coat is applied β pickling, phosphating, degreasing and dust removal β so the coating bonds to clean steel and cures to a smooth, non-porous, sealed surface. The result:
The frame removes the reservoir underneath. The mattress, pillows and duvet on top of it still need sealing, because that is where mites feed on the skin cells you shed overnight.
Mattress, protectors and bedding are not included. Add the Protector Set to seal the mattress, pillows and duvet that sit on top.

Everything you need to know about dust mite protection.
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 99.97% of allergens from reaching you every night. It is a permanent fix, not a workaround.
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 chemicals at all. Our eucalyptus silk fabric is 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.
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.
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.
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. The more of your sleeping area you protect, the faster you tend to feel it.
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 at 60 degrees as part of your normal routine.
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.
UK orders are dispatched quickly and you will get a tracking email as soon as they are on their way. If you are not happy for any reason, just get in touch within 30 days. You can reach us at Hello@iDustMite.com, on live chat between 8am and 8pm, or by phone on 0330 122 1646. We are always happy to help.
