Anti Allergenic Mattress Protectors – Keeping the Bed Bugs at Bay!

Bed Bugs can be something that may never cross your mind or they may be something that you can’t stop thinking about! Whatever you think they are most certainly something you should at least be aware of when it coes to the cleanliness of your home.

There scientific term is Cimicidae but they are more commonly known as dust mites or bed bugs. Theres no nice way of putting this but these insects are parasitic organisms that feed on the dead skin and blood of warm blooded animals. The term bed bug is probably given as this tends to be the place where the insect is most prelavent in the home, here they have the opportunity to feed and breed here unoticed and if left unchecked bed bug infestations can lead to skin irritations and breathing difficulties.

Control of the bed bug is thankfully not a diffcult task, an effective anti allergenic mattress protector will protect you and the mattress from any type of infestation. More advanced mattress protectors can actually inihibit the growth and reproduction of the bed mite. Check out Victoria Linen Co for mattress protectors that are waterproof, anti-allergenic yet allow air to pass through and so regulate temperature in the bed.

A Mattress Protector Thats Waterproof, Anti Allergenic and Breathable. How’s Does That Work?!

One of the problems when it comes to waterproof mattress protectors is they are also air tight, meaning that nothing gets through. While this is great for protecting your mattress from spills and keeping bed bugs and dust mites at bay it also means that once you climb in to the bed for a well earned rest air can also get caught in the bed, once this air is trapped under your duvet or bed sheets it can’t move it then becomes warm from your own body heat, this in turn can make you warm and make for an uncomfortable nights sleep. This problem can be accentuated for those who are bed ridden or have to spend long periods of time in bed, the trapped air and heat can also lead to an increase in heat and bed sores.

Victoria Linen have recently launched a mattress protector that is the perfect remedy to this situation, using TENCEL fabric they now offer a mattress protector that is waterproof, anti allergenic and breathable. TENCEL is a unique fabric, derived from wood pulp it is a 100% natural product that allows air to pass through but is anti allergenic and 100% waterproof!

Waterproof Mattress Protectors, The Best Yet?

Waterproof Mattress Protectors in the best fabric yet

From our past experience in the bed linen industry we knew that waterproof mattress protectors had been made from a wide range of sub standard materials. if you had the old waterproof variety you may have known it to be noisy and uncomfortable. We found even the more modern cotton or terry towelling backed, plastic protectors had there faults, for instance materials like terry towelling reduced the noise of the circa 1980’s protectors, (think rolling on a crisp packet) but still proved uncomfortable to sleep on.

Why is TENCEL better?

We found that most waterproof and anti allergy mattress protectors have a non permeable barrier (usually a form of plastic) that allows nothing through. While this stops liquids and dust mites, it also stops air movement. This means the air gets warmer and so do you! So how do we get a mattress protector that’s waterproof, anti allergenic and comfortable to sleep on??

Our TENCEL mattress protectors material have the BIG advantage! TENCEL is not only a 100% natural material but was also waterproof, yet breathable. Perfect for your mattress protector!

Construction

When we did some further research into the fabric we found it was fully machine washable, anti allergenic, more absorbent than cotton and quicker to dry. We also found that the material is sourced naturally from wood pulp. In particular from the Eucalyptus plant. Its eco friendly manufacture also meant all other materials used in the process are biodegradable making its environmental footprint practically nothing.

TENCEL material also contains no pesticides or agricultural chemicals. Along with our own tests we found that other companies and fellow fabric enthusiasts had carried them out. They concluded that the material is waterproof, breathable and incredibly robust. Enough to be guaranteed for 10 years or 200 washes. TENCEL is also noiseless and virtually undetectable when on the mattress or used as a pillow protector. We were so happy with what we found we decided to buy in some rolls of the fabric and start making the mattress protectors ourselves. We now supply TENCEL breathable, waterproof protectors on standard and bespoke bed sizes. Have a look or call us on 01706 220020 for more information.
