Do you travel much for work or pleasure?  Do you worry what's lurking in that hotel bed?

If the answer to either question is "Yes" then you might want to invest in a fitted dust mite proof cover for travel.  If you generally stay in a room with a king size bed, get the king size.  If you are a queen size bed traveler, then the queen size is perfect for you.

These covers are made from a 50/50 blend of cotton and polyester fused to a waterproof, dust mite proof membrane.  Instead of the traditional zippered construction, these covers are made in the same fashion as a fitted sheet.  With elastic bands on the corners, these covers are easy to slip on and off the bed.

A fitted cover does not give you the same level of protection as a zippered cover, but it certainly gives you more protection than doing nothing.  They easily fold into a compact size so they don't take up much room in the suitcase.

If you are a frequent hotel guest, you might want to think about bringing your own cover.  That way no matter the "history" of the bed, you are protected.  And speaking of protection, women travelers need to be particularly alert. Here is a great article for women that travel for business or pleasure.

Til next time!
