Got a great note from a customer today. She purchased our zippered bed bug covers for her vacation home. The real estate agent that handles her rentals suggested that the beds be protected against bed bugs “just in case”.
We hear a lot of that lately. And the real estate agent is correct. In the long run, it is cheaper to zip up the beds and protect them against bed bugs than throw the mattress and box spring out later when they are so infested with bed bugs that they can’t be salvaged.
But that wasn’t the point of her note. She wrote to let us know that she just returned from spending a week at her vacation home and noticed that while she was there she did not wake up with a stuffy nose or a headache.
Seems she has been waking up to a stuffy nose for so long that she didn’t notice it until it was gone! Sounds like undiagnosed allergies doesn’t it?
The first night back in her year around the home and the stuffy nose and headache returned.
She has never been diagnosed with an allergy to dust mites and has been waking up stuffy for so many years that it had become a “normal” part of how she felt every day. It was only when she slept in the beds that had the zippered dust mite and bed bug-proof covers did she realize that she didn’t need to suffer. Her undiagnosed allergies were undiagnosed no more.
She discovered relief.
Needless to say, she will be purchasing dust mite-proof covers for the beds at her year-round home and sleeping soundly and waking without a headache or stuffy nose. Now she knows she doesn’t have to feel that way.
We hear time and again from people that buy dust mite-proof mattresses or pillow covers because someone in the house is diagnosed with allergies and they discover that even the “allergy-free” household members feel better.
If you stop to think about all the dust mites and dust mite feces that collect in your mattress and pillow, you know that it can’t be a good thing to breathe those particles while you sleep. Even people that have never been diagnosed with dust mite allergy deserve a good night’s rest and they often find it by accident when they purchase our zippered mattress covers.
