Microscopic house dust mites live in our homes by the millions. Bedding is where most dust mites are found because moisture, temperature and human skin flakes provide optimal conditions for growth. The Mite Guard Quilt Protector Range by Bambury is designed to act as a barrier between you and dust mites, as experts agree this is the best way of avoiding them. Mite guard features a micron dust filter membrane that is sandwiched between two layers of inert fabric giving premier protection. Mite guard totally encases your pillow, in soft, extremely lightweight, durable and air-permeable fabric, allowing body moisture and heat to pass through the fabric providing comfort and protection all night long. These protectors can also help overcome the need for regular hot washing of your quilt, and therefore allows you to select and use natural fillings such as wool and feathers. Coordinating mattress protectors, pillow protectors and pillow are also available.
