Quite often when we are helping our customers figure out which dust mite mattress cover is best for their needs they want to know why they should worry about covering the box springs. After all you are not sleeping directly on it like you are your pillows and mattress.

Even though you are not sleeping on the box springs dust mites are still living and breeding in them. The top, bottom and sides are made out of fabric which allows the allergens from dust mites to escape in to the air. If you are trying to get rid of dust mite allergens in your bedroom you really need to eliminate as many hiding places as possible.

When it comes to what mattress cover to put on your box springs we generally recommend our vinyl mattress covers. They are made out of a heavy duty 6 guage vinyl, waterproof and are very cost effective. Just like all of our dust mite covers they are fully zippered.

   

Wishing you the best of health
