Anti-allergy bedding: A springtime must!
Spring is finally here! It’s the season of blooming flowers, longer days, and unfortunately, hay fever! If you’re one of the many people who dread the arrival of pollen and allergens, fear not, because there are ways to turn your bedroom into a sneeze-free sanctuary with some clever choices in bedding and gadgets.
Hay fever season
As the weather warms up and nature bursts into life, so does the pollen count. For hay fever sufferers, this means sneezing fits, itchy eyes, and nights of tossing and turning with disturbed sleep. But we are here to help make hay fever season worry-free when it comes to bedtime.
Enter anti-allergy bedding
Anti-allergy bedding is like creating a forcefield against those pesky allergens; for hay-fever sufferers it’s a must!
All Silentnight anti-allergy bedding is all filled with anti-allergy treated fibres which have been approved by the British Allergy Foundation, so they have the ultimate seal of approval.
For anti-allergy pillows we recommend the Silentnight Anti-Allergy Pillow Pair for comfort and protection against allergies as you sleep. These anti-allergy pillows are specially designed to resist dust mites, bacteria, and allergens, giving you a cleaner, healthier sleep environment.
Team these pillows with the Silentnight Anti-Allergy Duvet. Available in various togs to suit your warmth preference, we suggest using a low tog duvet such as 7.5 tog as the weather heats up in spring, these anti-allergy duvets provide the perfect balance of comfort and allergen protection.
To complete your anti-allergy bed set, don’t forget the Silentnight Anti-Allergy Mattress Protector. Easy to fit and easy to clean, it acts as a shield between you and potential allergens lurking in your mattress as well as adding an extra layer of comfort to your bed.
What about hypoallergenic bedding?
Most of our bedding is hypoallergenic, which means it’s crafted with materials and technologies that resist allergens, making it kind to the skin, which is also a good option for allergy sufferers.
But what is the difference between bedding that is hypoallergenic and anti-allergenic?
Hypoallergenic bedding is designed to minimise the risk of allergic reactions by using materials that are less likely to trigger allergies. The materials are designed to block common allergens like dust mites or natural fibres.
Anti-allergy bedding, on the other hand, goes a step further. It is treated with special finishes or chemicals that actively repel or kill allergens such as dust mites, mould, or bacteria.
In short, hypoallergenic helps reduce exposure, while anti-allergy actively combats allergens.
Use an air purifier
Now, let’s talk gadgets! An air purifier like the Silentnight Airmax 800 Air Purifier is a game-changer during hey fever season. It helps to filter out pollen, pet dander, and other airborne allergens, leaving you with cleaner, fresher air to breathe through the night.
The air purifier has a digital control panel. You can choose from three speed settings: low, medium, and high. It also offers timer options from 1 to 8 hours. This gives you full control over the device.
It also features an innovative sleep mode that will allow the machine to remain on all night yet be ultra-quiet, therefore not disturbing your sleep. Win!
For those who find damp spring weather a challenge, consider a dehumidifier. The Silentnight Airmax 1200 12L Dehumidifier or the compact Silentnight Airmax 300 1L Dehumidifier helps maintain optimal humidity levels in your bedroom, reducing mould and dust mites which are major triggers for allergies.
Dehumidifiers can help you to breathe easy throughout the day and night and with the innovative whisper-quiet sleep mode, you can still enjoy a relaxing night’s sleep, all whilst easing overnight congestion and humidity.
By upgrading to anti-allergy bedding and incorporating air-purifying and dehumidifying solutions into your sleep routine, you’re not just fighting off allergens, you’re turning your bedroom into a sanctuary of sweet dreams.
So this spring, don’t let hay fever hijack your sleep. Invest in your wellbeing with anti-allergy bedding and smart gadgets that make bedtime a sanctuary. Your nose, eyes, and sleep-deprived self will thank you!
