Seasonal allergies and dust allergies can make the difference between a good day and a bad day. And allergies can also seriously affect our ability to get a good night’s sleep.
In bed, escaping the tiny allergens that bother us isn't always possible. Dust mites are mostly harmless, but as many as 12 million of us in the UK suffer from dust mite allergies. While getting rid of dust mites completely isn’t possible, minimising their numbers with inhibitors such as Bed Guard can help keep allergic reactions at bay.
There are also other ways to work around night-time allergies to consider. And one recent trend among shoppers is investing in anti-allergy bedding. An anti-allergy duvet such as the Simply by Bensons Anti-Allergy 10.5 TOG duvet is an affordable solution for allergy sufferers.
Pair anti-allergy duvets with anti-allergy pillows and an anti-allergy mattress protector and you’ll be armed with everything you need to minimise the symptoms of dust and dust mite allergies.
This type of bedding incorporates anti-allergy fibres to help reduce the number of allergens caused by dust mites and bacteria you are exposed to at night. Allowing you to embrace cosy sleeps without the itching, watery eyes, and runny noses.
Every mattress protector is different – some of them help you to cool down or stay warm, some of them are moisture-wicking or waterproof, and others incorporate anti-allergy fibres.
What all mattress protectors have in common is that they provide another layer of bedding between you and your mattress. This can help to protect your mattress against dirt, bacteria, and those accidental spills that happen to the best of us. But, generally, mattress protectors also provide an additional comfort layer between your body and your mattress.
Buying a mattress protector is a great way to invest in your mattress as it can help to extend your mattress’s life. Mattresses aren’t always very easy to clean – even if you wipe the surface, bacteria and moisture can work its way into the mattress core.
A mattress protector is machine-washable. Which means keeping your mattress protector (and therefore you mattress) is a much easier task. Washing your mattress protector regularly means that dirt, moisture, and bacteria are less likely to build up and find their way into the core of your mattress.

For those who sleep hot, our iGel Perfect Partner Mattress Protector is ideal. The collection includes single, double, king size, and super king mattress protectors. Each of which is made with a breathable 100% Tencel™ cover, and features temperature-regulating iGel. This innovative formula responds to your body heat, and helps to keep you in the optimum temperature range as you sleep all night long.
Pillows can be our closest confidants – whether you whisper your secrets or cry into them, they’re always there to listen and support. Because they have to put up with a lot, taking care of pillows should be a priority. One way to keep pillows feeling fresh is to wash their covers regularly.
When shopping for bedding, the general rule is to let the size of your bed and mattress dictate which size you need. But this is not always the case.
For example, those with a small single bed might automatically assume that a small single duvet is necessary. But, so if you want the duvet to be big enough for an adult to feel comfy enough and amply covered, a single quilt can often a better option. Small single beds and mattresses will need a small single mattress protector though. Choosing a mattress protector that adheres to the size of the mattress it is protecting provides well-fitted protection.
Single beds have been designed for solo sleepers of all ages. For single bed and mattresses, usually the right choice is a single duvet. And for a single mattress, you’ll also need a single mattress protector.
Small double beds (or queen size beds as they are often referred to) operate on the same principal as small single beds where duvet size considerations are concerned. Where you might think a small double duvet (or queen duvet) is the right choice, in reality if you want your small double bed to sleep two people, a double duvet is another option to consider. A double duvet provides much more room for two people sharing a bed to stay warm. A small double mattress will require a small double mattress protector though. This is, again, to ensure it fits snuggly enough to be able to better protect your mattress.
Double beds need a double quilt. And double mattresses need a double mattress protector.
King size duvets and king size mattress protectors – like all king size bedding – have been perfectly tailored to king size beds and mattresses. A king size duvet measures 230 x 220cm making a quilt of this size great for snuggling into.
And last but by no means least, those with a super king bed are going to need some super king bedding that’s made to measure the biggest standard bed size in the UK. Super king duvets measure 260 x 220cm and are the most spacious of all the duvets. Explore our collection of super king quilt types and find the right choice for your needs and budget. Plus, don’t forget that a super king mattress protector is a great investment is you want to ensure the longevity of your super king mattress.
