Tempur-Pedic Mattress Protector

[Guest guest]

Will a Tempur-Pedic Mattress Protector suffice in protecting me from anything

toxic that could possibly be coming from the mattress?

Tug, I saw this on the net:

Organic & Royal-Pedic Hypoallergenic Mattresses - Mattresses ...

 [New Window] 

Made from the finest natural ingredients, Royal-Pedic mattresses are not only

hypoallergenic, but they also provide ... From $65.99, Mattress Covers From

$42.95 ... It's perfect for the chemically sensitive as well as the

environmentally friendly. ...

I guess it depends on what you're trying to accomplish - but IMO, if you're

trying to control dust mites and such DO NOT get a mattress cover. (and I

would stay away from tempur-pedic personally...I don't know about their

mattress covers but their mattresses smell terribly). Anyway, don't get a

mattress cover - get a mattress *encasing* that encases the entire mattress

and zips on one end. A mattress cover would help some if the mean pore size

is small enough that mites can't get through. But a mattress encasing with

a very small mean pore size specifically for dust mites will be much more

effective. Again - get covers for your pillows too.

You can also get mattress encasings for your box spring too. We didn't go

that far to try to save money - but they are available.

I was just looking at Allergy Buyers Club. I didn't get mine from there,

but it looks like they have organic encasings along with regular to fit

around different budgets.

Heart of Vermont is a great company too...but kind of spendy. We have some

pillows from there - love them. They also have mattress encasings but they

are more expensive.

than? Thats what the rep from Allergy buyers club said to purchase.

yes - definitely go for an encasement over just a cover. And encasement

will do a better job with allergens like dust mites.
