Memory Foam Mattress Cover With Dust Mite Protection
Memory foam mattress cover with dust mite protection can be an effective barrier against dust mites, bed bugs, pet dander and any other type of allergen. Here you will find the features to look for when you are shopping for a memory foam mattress cover.
Most memory foam mattress covers will be made of cotton. Quality covers will be naturally soft and breathable that will be comfortable for sleeping. The cotton should give a cool, smooth, breathable feeling as you would get with your bed sheets--perfect for hot sleepers. In a addition, a quality cover will have the following;
The cotton is 100% natural, free of chemicals.
The pore size of the cover should be around 4.5 to 4.91 microns. This is a good barrier against dust mites and other allergens.
The thread count (TC) should be between 260 and 280.
Have a strong and durable nylon zipper for a complete closure and the zipper is small enough to not be felt under the bed linens.
Double stitched with at least 12 stitches per inch.
Must be machine washable to prevent shrinking and maintain the proper pore size.
Some memory foam mattress covers will have an additional laminated urethane membrane lining. The plus side of this is that the membrane is water proof which means this is an excellent choice for bed-wetting or incontinence.
Another plus is that this cover only needs to be washed 2 or 3 times a year, unless it has been bed-wetted.
