Why Your Quilt Could Be Hiding Allergens

Your quilt is more than a cozy cover — it can also be a breeding ground for dust mites, mould, and allergens.
Even if you wash your sheets regularly, dust mites and allergens can live deep inside your quilt, triggering sneezing, itchy eyes, and other allergy symptoms.

This is where quilt protectors come in.

What Is a Quilt Protector?

A quilt protector is a protective cover that goes over your quilt to create a barrier against allergens.
High-quality protectors are made from:

• Tightly woven fabrics that prevent dust mites from entering

• Breathable materials that maintain airflow and comfort

• Durable, easy-to-clean layers to simplify maintenance

MiteGuard quilt protectors, for example, block dust mites and allergens while keeping your quilt soft and comfortable.

Benefits of Using a Quilt Protector

1. Allergy Prevention

Quilt protectors seal your quilt from dust mites, pollen, pet dander, and mould spores, reducing allergy flare-ups overnight.

2. Extended Quilt Life

Protectors shield your quilt from spills, stains, and wear, keeping it fresh and prolonging its lifespan.

3. Easy Maintenance

Unlike quilts that are difficult to wash frequently, quilt protectors are machine washable, allowing for simple, regular cleaning.

4. Breathable Comfort

High-quality protectors maintain air circulation, keeping you cool and comfortable while still blocking allergens.

How Quilt Protectors Help Allergy Sufferers

Dust mites and allergens in bedding are the main cause of allergic reactions during sleep.
Using a quilt protector:

• Reduces morning congestion and sneezing

• Minimises eye irritation and itchy skin

• Prevents allergens from embedding deep in your bedding

💡 Pro tip: Combine quilt protectors with mattress and pillow protectors for a full allergy-free sleep system.

Caring for Your Quilt Protector

To maximize protection and longevity:

1. Wash every few months (or more frequently if needed)

2. Use hot water (60 °C+) to kill dust mites

3. Avoid harsh chemicals that may damage the fabric barrier

4. Dry thoroughly to prevent moisture buildup
