Dust mites are nasty little critters that can cause a lot of discomfort for
people who are sensitive or overexposed to them. Dust mites like a moister
environment and like their name suggests, they like dust. Barrier covers
protect your mattresses and pillows from these little critters entering them
and laying their eggs in your bedding. Natural wool and natural rubber seem
to also act to deter dust mites (which are about 100 microns) naturally. Our barrier cloth is a high 440
thread count SKAL certified organic cotton fabric that is then heat pressed to tighten the fibers
to a 6 micron opening - recommended to protect against dust mites debris.. We do
not contaminate our organic cotton by adding any chemicals or urethanes.
Chemical-Free. There is no other company on this continent that can provide
an organic barrier cover that is completely chemical-free. In addition, we do
not dye our fabrics to make them look richer. WE prefer to keep out dyes
whenever possible. We close our mattresses with our hard plastic zipper to
keep those mites out. And our zipper zips
on 3 sides for ease of use. You may also use our fitted sheet style
barrier for easier use in conjunction with a full protector for older
mattresses or alone.
