Mattress/pillow - protectors from dust mites

I'm sure I've seen a fairly recent post but can't find it. I'm trying to buy protectors but there are loads out there and the difference in prices is amazing. I'm looking for comfortable ones but don't want to pay more than I have to.

Can anyone recommend the ones they use now?

I've recently bought mattress and pillow protectors made by Silentnight. They weren't too expensive and feel nice too! :)

I brought a matress protector from M&S recently. John Lewis also do a range (can order online too). I bang our pillows outside and hang them on the line in the sun. Amazing how much dust comes out even with protectors.

I also shake the matress protectors out everytime I make our beds (twice a week) and again, a lot of dust comes out.

I think its comfy silent night ones. Thanks all.

I used to vacumn everything but the allergy cons told me it would be good to get these too. I'll avoid hanging them outside though -- pollen doesn't get on with me.

Edit: Matalan looks like the cheapest/easiest option to get them for me. Just in case anyone else's thinking about it - or knows anywhere cheaper.

TS - just read your comment about not hanging bed stuff outside because of the pollen.I hang pillows/blankets etc all the time hoping the sun will kill off the dust mites - never thought of pollen... you just cant win in this business can you??

angievere - yep. Doctor went through the allergy test results. Said that I can't really do much about any but dust, nothing new there. Then suggested I opened windows regularly. But won't that let the pollen in I said. Hmmm.

Its not all bad - I'm gonna have a bed thats loads more comfortable by the end of the weekend :)
