<\/a><\/p>\nSwitch to Bedding with All-Natural Fibers<\/h2>\n
Bedding made with synthetic fibers can exacerbate skin sensitivity problems because of the chemicals and processes used to make synthetic materials. Bedding made with all-natural fibers, like organic cotton and silk, are soft and help resist allergens because they are naturally hypoallergenic.<\/p>\n
Use a fabric that breathes, like loosely woven cotton, to deter mold growth. Also, wash your bedding regularly to stop mold in its tracks.<\/p>\n
Bamboo sheets are touted as organic, but most bamboo sheets are blended with rayon. Rayon is made with processes that involve many chemicals, which can irritate your allergies and skin. If your heart is set on the ultra soft feel bamboo sheets provide but you want to avoid the chemicals, get a set of Egyptian cotton sheets instead.<\/p>\n

For an added layer of protection, cover your pillow, mattress, and comforter with protective covers to create a barrier that will prevent allergens from getting into your bedding.<\/p>\n Dust mites and dander flourish in the tiny spaces and gaps in down bedding. Alternatives like memory foam, polyester fiber, and cotton help keep your bed free from these irritants. Latex foam mattress toppers offer an extra layer of comfort and protection due to their naturally hypoallergenic properties.<\/p>\n See More Hypoallergenic Comforters<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Bedding attracts certain allergens like dust mites, dander, mold, and dust.
