These allergic reactions are caused by the excrements of the dust mites that live in each apartment and preferably in beds.

So that allergy sufferers are not brought to their restful sleep, were special Allergy duvets developed.

Suitable materials for Allergy duvets

Hypo-allergenic duvets are made from a variety of materials. When choosing allergy bedding products, it is important to make sure that they are made of washable, breathable materials, such as the ZOLLNER® allergy-proof covers from the „Alpha“ product line. Bedding for allergy sufferers should be able to be washed at 40, ideally at 60 degrees Celsius in the machine, since dust mites are only safely killed at a minimum water temperature of 40 degrees Celsius.

Comforters containing synthetic fibers, however, are unsuitable for allergy sufferers, as these blankets have only low breathable and temperature-compensating properties, which, for example, eczema is influenced to the detriment of the allergy sufferer.

Hypo-allergenic duvets made of natural fibers, such as the product Träumeland T060126 Summer Blanket Spring, 80 x 80 cm, are available in different versions for different seasons or as so-called all-season blankets. A particular advantage of natural fibers over most synthetic fibers is that natural fibers are resistant to unpleasant electrostatic charges.

The fiber is obtained from beech from sustainable forestry. Similar to modal or viscose fibers, Tencel is also a very elastic, soft, fine and discreetly shining fiber, which guarantees hypoallergenic patients particularly high sleeping comfort. The fiber also has better moisture control properties than cotton. Clinical studies were concluded with the result that in allergy-ill subjects, the symptoms have even improved.
