Inside every unprotected pillow and mattress are many different microscopic allergen particles that can trigger allergy and asthma symptoms. Aller-Ease Bedding protects against the most common allergens, helping to relieve your symptoms and rest comfortably.
The protein found in dust mites and their droppings is THE most common trigger of
perennial allergy and asthma symptoms. Dust mite allergens affect 50 to 80 percent
of the people with allergies or asthma, and can trigger lifelong allergies in newborns.
Inhaling dust mites allergens can cause allergic reactions & asthma to people with
a sensitivity to them. At just 1/100th of an inch in length, dust mites are almost
invisible to the naked eye.
The bugs congregate where dead skin cells can be found � in mattresses, pillows, fabric
covered sofas and chairs, stuffed toys, carpeting, and pet bedding.
A single female dust mite lays 40 to 100 eggs,
creating more than 100 new dust mites and 8,000 fecal droppings per month. Dust mites multiply so significantly, that
unprotected pillows will weigh 10 percent more after just two years � and unprotected mattresses will double in weight after 10 years.
Pollen are small, powdery round or oval grains that come from the male cells of flowering trees, grasses, and weeds. Most
pollen are less than 50 microns in size, and are smaller than the width of an average human hair.
The wind can blow microscopic pollen spores as far as 400 miles away, and up to two miles
high, so pollen spores tend to wreak havoc among those sensitive
to them, and are hard to escape!
Pet dander consists of the flakes of dead skin shed by cats, dogs, hamsters, and guinea pigs. All breeds of dogs and cats are
dander-producing, so all breeds, even those called "hairless," are capable of triggering allergy or asthma symptoms.
All pet dander is small, but cat dander is one of the smallest-sized allergen triggers.
Molds are tiny organisms that are related to mushrooms. Like pollen, microscopic mold
spores (as many as 250,000 can fit on a single pin head) float through the air. They
often settle in soil, vegetation and rotting wood outside, and enter a home through open
doorways, windows, vents, and through heating and air conditioning systems.
They also cling to clothing, shoes, and pets.
In susceptible individuals, molds can trigger allergic reactions, causing hay fever
symptoms and worsening asthma conditions.
There are hundreds of other allergy & asthma triggers in the environment that cause sensitivity in certain individuals.
Every day, there are billions of microscopic particles, like smoke and dust, that float in the air,
settling into bedding, carpets, furniture and heating and air conditioning systems. Once these particles enter your
pillow or mattress, they may trigger allergy or asthma symptoms.
