Sleep Easier at Night With These Super Soft Dust Mite Covers

You’re forgiven if you’re losing sleep over the current state of the world. With so much happening lately, it’s understandable. But you should never lose sleep due to allergies or dust mites. We don’t. And the reason we don’t? Dust mite covers.

From super soft, 100% cotton cases to 100% waterproof cases that are great if you have kids or pets, the best dust mite covers will encase your mattress with a protective shield that will stop dust mites and potential allergens from bothering you.

So what exactly are dust mites? In a nutshell, dust mites are microscopic arthropods that feed off dead skin. Yeah, it’s pretty gross. And you know where they tend to gather and search for food? You got it: your bed. 

Humans normally shed off pounds of dead skin throughout their lifetimes (usually while they sleep), which makes your mattress the perfect breeding ground for dust mites. Sure, dust mites don’t bite you like bed bugs — meaning they don’t leave the same kind of bite marks — but they can cause rashes and allergies and be just plain bad for your health. Fortunately, covering your mattress only takes a few seconds and is a surefire way to keep those mites at bay. Here are the eight best dust might covers to protect your mattress for good.

Best of all, this SafeRest mattress protector is designed not to interfere with your original mattress.
