Tempur - allergy prevention

Tempur mattresses can help those afflicted by household allergies.

Create a dust free bedroom

Creating a dust free bedroom can significantly improve the quality of life for people with dust allergies and asthma; Tempur mattresses have anti-allergenic properties which can aid the creation of such an environment.

Dust often contains dander from animals, fibers and mould; this provides the perfect environment for dust-mites. The mites dwell in bedding, carpets and furniture; a common misconception is that people are allergic to dust-mites, this is not the case, it is actually the mites’ waste that provokes the allergic reaction.

The following simple steps are recommended to help control dust levels in the bedroom:

• Hardwood or tile floors are preferable to carpets; if you must have a carpet in your bedroom try to avoid shag carpeting.
• Only have one bed per room.
• Encase mattresses in a dust-proof, allergen-proof cover like the ones supplied with all Tempur mattresses.
• Keep animals out of the bedroom.
• Only use bedding material that can be washed; wash these at higher temperatures to be sure of killing all the dust-mites.
• Keep surfaces and furnishing that can collect dust to a minimum.
• Clean the room thoroughly once a week.
• A HEPA air filter can help reduce allergen levels.
• Mites require humidity to grow; therefore, a dehumidifier can help.
• Keep the room free of clutter such as toys.

Tempur Features
