Bamboo<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Bamboo is a great material for bed sheets because of its natural breathability. Bamboo sheets have natural moisture-wicking properties, which can help reduce the chance of mold and the spread of dust mites. This material is excellent for those with sensitivities to dust, mold, and mildew. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Silk<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Silk is another high-quality natural fiber that can help reduce your allergy symptoms for a good night’s sleep. Silk is not only the softest bed sheet material on the market<\/a>, it can also help soothe sensitive skin. Additionally, because the silkworm spins silk like a cocoon to keep away predators, it has natural protection against allergens like pet dander and dust mites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Cotton is by far the most popular option for bed sheets. It’s easy to clean, affordable, and naturally hypoallergenic. Because it’s so breathable, it doesn’t trap moisture and can reduce your allergy symptoms if you’re sensitive to mold and mildew. Some cotton sheets are even undyed or made with environmentally-friendly dyes that won’t irritate your skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Keep in mind there are a lot of different types of cotton sheets on the market. Some are a blend of cotton and other synthetic materials, while others are all-natural. Ideally, you’ll want to look out for a sheet set made of 100% cotton. Synthetic blends can irritate your allergies, especially if you have sensitive skin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Linen is another material that’s naturally hypoallergenic. Linen has unique filtering properties that greatly reduce the number of allergens and germs typically found in bed sheets. Linen sheets are effective against most types of allergens commonly found in your bed, including dust mites, pet dander, mold, and mildew. (Learn about antimicrobial sheets<\/a> and why you might want them.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Microfiber is a wrinkle-resistant, hypoallergenic material perfect for bed sheets. It’s soft, durable, and easy to clean. Additionally, its tight weave pattern can help reduce the number of allergens. <\/p>\n\n\n\n However, you’ll want to avoid any brushed microfiber sheets. Because they have a fuzzier texture, they’re more likely to trap allergens within them. You should opt for a traditional set of microfiber sheets instead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Our best sheets for allergy sufferers<\/p>\n \n It’s easy to see why our flagship organic cotton sheet is a bestseller. Its silky-soft, 300 thread count sateen weave is made with 100% certified organic cotton. It’s better for the planet and feels indulgently luxurious on you.<\/p>\n\n\n \n Pamper yourself in deluxe comfort with our breathable percale sheets. They’re made from the world’s best long-staple cotton that gets softer and better with every wash.<\/p>\n\n\n \n Sleep in effortless style with our deluxe linen sheets made with responsibly-sourced, all-natural European linen. Stays cool in the summer, warm in the winter, and gets softer with every wash.<\/p>\n\n\n \n Curbing our allergy symptoms doesn’t stop at choosing the right bed sheets. You’ll need to ensure the rest of your bed accessories, including your pillows, mattress protectors, and comforter, are allergy-friendly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Pillows, just like your mattress, can easily become a breeding ground for dust mites if you’re not careful. Down and feather pillows aren’t a great choice due to the particles of dust that remain in the down after washing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Choose a memory foam<\/a> or a latex pillow<\/a> since they’re naturally hypoallergenic. Memory foam is too dense for dust mites to penetrate, and latex is naturally resistant to dust mites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Look for one with a cotton<\/a> pillow cover. This material is naturally breathable and known to create a dry and inhospitable environment for dust mites, mold, and mildew. Plus, 100% cotton can be free of harsh chemicals that can irritate your skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You may also want to keep your pillow inside a pillow protector or encasement, just as you do your mattress, to further protect against allergens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A mattress protector<\/a> is a must for anyone, but it’s especially important for allergy sufferers, as it helps prevent the buildup of allergens in your mattress. Choose one that’s breathable to promote good air circulation and waterproof to prevent spills and moisture from getting into your mattress and encouraging mold. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Natural fabrics like cotton and bamboo will give you the breathability you need, as will Tencel\u00ae Lyocell, a hypoallergenic, moisture-wicking fabric made from the pulp of eucalyptus trees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A traditional fitted mattress protector is a fine choice, but if you want to be absolutely certain dust mites or other allergens won’t get in, use an encasement-style mattress protector\u2014it encloses your mattress on all sides and has a zipper. It also protects your mattress from bed bugs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Down, which is the most common fill for comforters<\/a>, should be avoided if you’re prone to allergies. That’s because down (or more precisely, the dust particles that remain in the down after processing) can cause allergic reactions in some people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Silk comforters are a great alternative to down. In addition to being hypoallergenic, silk has natural thermal properties, which makes for a lightweight yet warm filling. If you crave the feeling and warmth of down, a silk comforter might be the way to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Wool comforters are another good choice. Wool is great at absorbing moisture and wicking it away from the body, creating an environment that’s too dry for dust mites to thrive in. <\/p>\n\n\n\nCotton<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
