If you suffer from allergies, you probably take pains to vacuum your floors and wipe down your counters on a regular basis. But did you know you can fight allergy symptoms while you fall asleep? By switching to hypoallergenic bedding, you can stop tossing and turning through the night and waking up congested. Here are just some of the benefits of making the transition to a hypoallergenic mattress, pillow, and bedding.

A Guide to the Sleep Benefits of Hypoallergenic Bedding

Mattress

Compared to bedding and pillows, mattresses will be the least frequently replaced part of your bed, due to both their size and their price. Still, you can’t simply throw your mattress in the washing machine to get rid of allergens like dead skin and dust mites. The best solution is to invest in a hypoallergenic mattress and mattress cover, which can be removed and washed as needed. Hypoallergenic mattresses resist allergens and prevent them from becoming a part of your nightly routine, so you can wake up feeling rested and refreshed.

Pillows

Given that allergens trigger most of their symptoms in the respiratory system, hypoallergenic pillows are essential to your allergy-defying efforts. Ditch down- or feather-filled pillows, which harbor dander and dust mites, and choose latex models instead. In addition to deflecting allergens, this material is also machine washable, so you can clean it as often as you need to. You won’t miss feeling stuffy or congested or having irritated eyes due to an allergic reaction.

Bedding

Allergy sufferers also deal with skin irritation, such as rashes and redness. Unfortunately, this can make it difficult to curl up in warm covers at the end of a long day. To restore the comfort of your nighttime routine, switch to sheets and a comforter made from silk, organic cotton, or wool, and look for a high thread count. The tight fibers and allergen-repelling materials will feel softer on your skin and block dust mites and dander from causing rashes.
