what is it that you are allergic to? is it dust mites? or feather bedding?? I use a general anti-allergy bedding, but I always have as I was a generally wheezy child so mum makes me anyway, I dont have any particular recomendations, but possibly the ones reccomended by allergy UK would be good?? not sure though - good luck! allergyuk.org/products-and-...

Hiya, have you had allergy testing or is this just a feeling they have...?

Hi this is quite an old post but in case anyone is looking for allergy bedding I would definitely recommend AllerGuard allerguard.co.uk

My kids used to be awake at night, one itching with eczema and one wheezing and coughing from asthma (tough nights..) Turns out they were both allergic to dust mites and we were recommended AllerGuard. Now they are so much better and sleep all night, I would definitely recommended it. A little pricey but it is scientifically proven thats why, and it actually works unlike most brands of allergy bedding.

Good luck xx

Hi, I'm allergic to dust mites, but seem to be OK with feathers. I do not (never knowingly have had) anti allergen bedding - though I believe some mattresses do now have anti allergen measures, and our new mattress I think does ( though that wS. Or the Edison we bought it. Unless I have a viral infection it is very rare for me to have problems with asthma at night. There are a few other things I do which may be of help. 1). In the morning I open the windows of the bedroom, even if the temperature is sub zero outside, to air the bedroom and the bedding. The duvet is thrown right back to and the pillows humped up so that they benefit from the airing. I aim to leave those windows open for at least an hour. 2). We never have the heating on in our bedroom - never ever. Even in the depths of winter when it is freezing outside our bedroom is kept cool. I do open the bedroom door late in the afternoon in the winter as the so that warm air from the rest of the house can then circulate into the room to take the edge off the chill. 3). The bedroom is hoovered (as indeed is the rest of the house), every week, and that includes all surfaces of furniture around the room and even skirting boards and, very mportantly, under the bed. 4). Even with double glazing we sometimes get a small amount of condensation on the windows, usually round the edges, when it's really cold outside during the night.. This should dry off with the windows being opened in the morning, but just to be certain I towel the worst of it away. Damp and mould are a known trigger for me. 4). This one is a little more tricky unless you are thinking of getting a new bed, but as a general tip to anyone reading this who is, we do not have a divan bed. Verry useful for storage, but it is impossible to hoover under them, unless you move them, and the air cannot circulate underneath them adequately. Our bed has wooden slats as its base which means that the mattress can get some degree of airing every morning when we open the windows. 5) Make sure you turn the mattress every now and then (actually I think this is now recommended for all mattresses anyway because it's good for the mattress in general). 6) We have an en-suite shower room, and I use the shower every morning. And after I have used it, it is towelled down to help it to dry out completely to reduce the risk of mould.

I'm sure some, probably many, of you know these tips already, but for those of you who have not had the condition for long you may find they help.

I will check out Allerguard as I need duvet covers. One piece of anti allergy bedding I would avoid is the Downland fitted sheets you can get at Argos. They only anti allergy attribute they have is an anti bacterial coating. When I bought one and looked at the weave it's plain that it has no ability to block dust, only has a 180 thread count and looks very loose.

I've found that high thread count bedding can be effective, but it has to be over 230 threads per inch at least.

What about memory foam mattresses, does anyone have experience with those ?

[Hidden]

I've got a memory foam mattress and pillow - i'm afraid i comment on how effective they are for allergies cos i'm not allergic to dust mites. However, i can recommend them in terms of comfort - especially the contour pillows

[Hidden]

I have anti-allergy pillow cases, i have never had any allergy tests done but as i'm asthmatic & was getting wheezy at night especially, i decided to try them, the only thing is, any anti-allergy bedding does make you hot! but if it helps, then do it!

[Hidden]

If you have asthma but have no tests you should get your doc to arrange a scratch test, it can tell you things you didn't know.
