Fall is in the air! Temperatures are cooling off in Knoxville, Tennessee and leaves are already starting to change color. It’s a welcome change from the hot, humid days of summer, but with the crisp air comes allergy season for some of us. Dust mites can increase as we spend more time indoors and close our windows. Did you know that an average mattress can contain tens of thousands of dust mites? This may be just a yucky fact for some people, but for others, dust mites can trigger miserable allergy symptoms. 

AN ORGANIC MATTRESS THAT REPELS DUST MITES

It sounds almost too good to be true, but it isn’t! Essentia® makes the world’s only natural memory foam mattresses, and they are impervious to dust mites. This means that dust mites cannot easily live in or on this mattress! Our locally owned mattress store in Knoxville, Tennessee is the only retail store that you’ll find an Essentia organic mattress to try before you buy. We love this organic brand!  

NATURAL MATTRESS PROTECTOR

There are other steps you can take to have a more natural, lower allergen sleep. Make sure that your mattress is protected with a good quality mattress protector like our Simply Bed’r Natural Tencel® protector. This mattress protector is made with eucalyptus fiber from sustainable tree farms, is eco-friendly and hypoallergenic.

PROPER PILLOW CARE

Thinking of resting your head alongside thousands of dust mites and their droppings is not pleasant. The allergic reaction to them is really to their fecal pellets that they leave behind. Yuck! Replacing your pillow frequently is absolutely essential to lessening allergic reactions at night. Extend the life of your pillow by keeping it covered with a pillow protector. You can also consider checking the label to see if it’s machine washable. At our Bed’r Mattress stores in Knoxville, Tennessee we have natural and organic foam pillows that make it hard for dust mites to thrive. We carry Essentia organic pillows as well as Blu Sleep Pillows!
