6 Reasons for Sleep Health & Protection

Allergies / Dust Mites

Considered one of the top triggers of allergy ailments, dust mites can rapidly multiply and make residence inside your mattress living off millions of human skin flakes. The feces byproduct from dust mites is often problematic for people with asthma and allergies. Dust mites, along with fungus, bacteria and mold, can create the perfect storm of allergy triggers causing health issues.

 

Hygiene and Sleep Perspiration

The average person perspires 4 gallons a month while sleeping, which often passes through the sheets and into the mattress. Once inside the mattress odors, bacteria and fungus can begin to grow ultimately creating health issues and an unsanitary sleep environment.

 

Animals

Our best friends love us, but sometimes they mistake our bed for an ideal bathroom spot. Once urine passes through the sheets and into the mattress, the ammonia from the urine trapped inside can attract them back again and again. The smell of cat urine is so strong that just a few uninvited visits to an unprotected mattress will fact in ruin your mattress.

 

Children

It’s just a fact of life that accidents do happen and once they do, the mattress can become extremely unsanitary. This often happens not only to the child’s mattress, but to other mattresses in the home where the child may occasionally sleep. The smell of urine can linger for quite some time and is difficult, if not impossible, to fully clean. 

 

Mattress Warranty

Most mattress manufacturers will not honor the mattress warranty if the mattress has stains on it. A mattress protector is therefore required to protect it from any and all fluid stains.

 

Bed Bugs

Having made an impressive comeback over the last few years, bed bugs seem to be here to stay. These blood sucking parasites, visible to the naked eye, are often carried home after stays in hotels on clothing or suitcases. Bed bugs can cause itchy rashes and can breed, live and defecate in your mattress. Once bed bugs have entrenched deep inside your mattress they are difficult to eradicate.
