Dust Mite Mattress Covers for Children
When our customers are looking to buy a dust mite covers for their children's bed they often start off looking at the Allersoft or Pristine fabrics. Both of these are outstanding microfiber fabrics and are great for adults because they are cool, comfortable and very effective against allergens. However, I don't recommend them for a child's bed.
We put the linen (with the membrane) dust mite covers on both of our children's beds about 10 years ago and they have held up great. Don't misunderstand me, the Allersoft and Pristine dust mite mattress covers are effective, comfortable and durable but the linen covers are waterproof as well as effective, comfortable and durable.
No matter how many times we told them to not take drinks into their rooms something would mysteriously end up getting spilled on the bed. Coke , tea and cool-aid can make a real mess out of a mattress. The linen covers also held up very well to the jumping and wrestling that goes along with having kids.
Both our children have moved out of the house now and when they moved they took their covers with them. They have held up even at college.
So when you are looking for a dust mite cover for the children I would recommend taking a look at the linen cotton poly fabric. They won't even know they are there but you will.
Wishing you the best of health

Well you are right about this... there are good alternatives for Allersoft or Pristine fabrics. I used linen covers too for my mattresses and that was a good choice.

Guess that helps many! Allergy prone kids and dust mites can be a dreadful combination and a literal nightmare for any housekeeper worth her salt! I too have used the Allersoft / Pristine circuit for some time but haven’t ever tried the linen option so far. Your post sounds very interesting and I would certainly like to try it at home. My kids have flown the nest but my spouse has moved on to childhood, the second one, and often needs the same type of care that a child needs. It also helps that they are water-proof, believe me when I say that it isn’t kids alone who take food into their beds…

I agree! Linen was a good choice to help prevent dust and mite allergies as it is resistant to moths and carpet beetles. Linen is relatively easy to take care of, since it resists dirt and stains and has no lint or pilling tendency. It can withstand high temperatures, and has only moderate initial shrinkage. Thus it was indeed what every mother needs to help prevent dust and mite allergies that may affect their child's health condition.
