What is a dust mite allergy?

Dust mite allergy sufferers generally sleep worse because dust mite allergy is a real sleep robber. Although the name may suggest it, a dust mite allergy is by no means an allergy to dust mite in the . Rather, those affected react to the excretions and remains of dust mite mites, which live not only in dust mite but also in comforters, mattresses and pillows.

According to allergologists, there can be various reasons why an allergy develops: On the one hand, a genetic predisposition to developing an allergy certainly plays a role. In addition, the improved hygiene standards in indust miterialized countries could be responsible for the increase in allergies, as we come into contact with significantly less dirt and pathogens from an early age than was the case in the past. It is believed that the immune system learns to deal with allergens best when we come into contact with many germs from an early age.

Pillows for dust mite allergy sufferers: What should I bear in mind?

Dust mite allergy sufferers should generally take care to create conditions in their bed that are as unattractive as possible for mites. The fewer mites and therefore allergens there are in the bed, the better it is for dust mite allergy sufferers. A pillow for dust mite allergy sufferers should therefore be an integral part of every dust mite allergy sufferer's bed.

Dust mite mites need food and moisture to survive. They feed on skin flakes, which can be found all over the bed and therefore also on the pillow. In order to create an environment that is as dry as possible and therefore unfriendly to dust mite mites, pillows for dust mite allergy sufferers should not only absorb the moisture produced during sleep, but also be able to dissipate it well.
In addition, dust mite allergy sufferers should gently fluff their pillow after sleeping and allow it to air out sufficiently so that the residual moisture in the pillow can escape. Room temperature and room climate also play a role: a cooler temperature of 18-20 °C and a relative humidity of only 40-60 % help dust mite allergy sufferers to keep the mite load as low as possible.

Washing pillows for dust mite allergy sufferers: This is important!

The washability of a pillow for dust mite allergy sufferers is the be-all and end-all. Because even with extensive airing and a cool and dry room climate, mites still remain in the pillow. It is therefore advisable to wash the pillow regularly at a temperature of at least 60 °C, or even 95 °C if possible, in order to completely eliminate the mites from the pillow.

Which pillow fillings are suitable for dust mite allergy sufferers?

Dust mite allergy pillows with a fibre filling

fibre pillows are extremely breathable and are particularly good at absorbing and wicking away moisture. As a result, fibre-filled pillows create a dry sleeping environment that is unattractive to mites, but all the more pleasing to allergy sufferers. Another plus point: fibre fillings can be washed at 60 °C, or 95 °C depending on the type of fibre. Dust mite allergy sufferers who value a vegan pillow without animal components can therefore choose a fibre pillow without hesitation.

Dust mite allergy sufferers should wash their pillows more often to keep the mites and thus their dust mite allergy in check. This makes fibre pillows particularly interesting for dust mite allergy sufferers, as they are particularly easy to care for and can be washed very often, even at high temperatures.

Dust mite allergy pillows with a down filling

Down and feathers are not only the classic pillow fillings, they are also ideal for dust mite allergy sufferers. Down is washable and has excellent moisture management properties.

The tightly woven covers of our billerbeck down pillows not only prevent the down from escaping, but also reduce the ingress of mites.
