Anti-Allergy Bedding Frequency Asked Questions (FAQ)
What does
"allergy relief bedding" mean?
What is the difference between a
membrane and non membrane cover and how do they protect us?
A membrane is defined in Webster's as "A thin sheet of natural or synthetic material that is permeable to substances in solution." Permeable means moisture can escape. The breathablilty, however, will not be like the nice sheets on your bed. These types of covers tend to hold in heat. If you are a sleeper who tends to sweat at night then this fabric may not be for you. One key component of the membrane is that it is waterproof. This is an advantage for bed wetters or incontinence. We have the Poly Cotton, Cotton Terry, Polyester Stretch Knit and Tricot Knit all with membranes. All these fabrics use the exact same membrane and only the top fabric is what differentiates them. The cost of these fabrics varies as well as the individual characteristics of each.
Non Membrane fabrics are a more advanced technology in allergy relief bedding. Since there is no membrane separating you from the allergens, the weave of the fabric must be woven in such a way that the pore size or space between the threads is less then 6 microns. This is due to the fact that the smallest allergens have been tested at 10-15 microns. Our Allersoft TM Cotton and Pristine TM both have a pore size of less then 5<! Because there is no membrane, these fabrics tend to have longer lifespans since there is no membrane to deteriorate over time in the wash. Non membrane fabrics are also much cooler to sleep with and are much less noisy. It is more like putting a thick sheet on your mattress.
How do I
take care of allergy relief bedding?
How should
I measure my mattress so I can get the correct size?
Is there a difference in the
warranties?
All of our premium allergy relief covers come with a LIFETIME warranty. Only our economically priced SMS covers come with less and we still give you 5 full years on these as well. What if I don't like the cover I bought and think I would have wanted something else? If you are not satisfied with your choice for any reason we will refund your money for 30 days. Trust us though, you'll be happy!

Allergy
relief covers with membranes are defined as fabrics with a vinyl or urethane
based coating on the inside. It would be similar to one taking their favorite
sheet and covering the underside with Saran-Wrap. Of course this would not be
comfortable or practical but the concept is the same. The benefit of urethane
over vinyl is that there is no noise and or odor (off gas). The membrane has no
color or feel but it is there doing the work. These coatings have no "pores" or
holes for the dust mites to escape. Thus, nothing can get in or out of your
mattress. 
Allergy
relief covers without membranes are defined as fabrics without any coating.
Without some kind of coating, the woven fabric would act like a sieve. When we
are talking about non membrane fabrics we have to discuss pore size. Pore size
is the diameter of the space or hole between the threads. If the average waste
particle of bed bugs is approximately 9 microns then the pore size must be less
then 9. Typically, any non membrane fabric with a pore size less then 6 or 7
will block all allergens including pet dander. Remember that thread count has
nothing to do with pore size. 1000 count sheets for example have more threads
per square inch but the pore size is not maintained. Thus, these fabric will do
nothing to encase the allergens.
