Hypoallergenic & Anti-Allergy Mattresses, Duvets & Pillows

Discover mattresses and bedding made for allergy-free comfort. At Bensons for Beds, we know that great sleep starts with a healthy sleep environment. That’s why we offer a range of hypoallergenic mattresses, anti-allergy pillows, and duvets designed to reduce common allergens and create a cleaner, fresher space for rest. Whether you’re living with asthma, hay fever, dust mite allergies, or sensitive skin, our collection of anti-allergy bedding supports better breathing and better sleep—night after night.

What is a hypoallergenic mattress?

A hypoallergenic mattress is made using materials or featuring treatments that resist dust mites, mould, and bacteria — three of the most common causes of allergies in the bedroom. Anti-allergy mattresses are designed to reduce your exposure to allergens, helping to minimise sneezing, itching, and asthma symptoms while you sleep.

Our collection includes everything from foam and latex mattresses to pocket sprung and combination models, so you can enjoy the support you need without the irritation.

What’s the difference between hypoallergenic and anti-allergy mattresses?

While the terms are often used interchangeably, there’s a subtle difference:

  • Hypoallergenic mattresses are made from materials that are unlikely to trigger an allergic reaction.
  • Anti-allergy mattresses go a step further, with specially treated fabrics and fillings designed to actively reduce the build-up of allergens like dust mites and mould.

At Bensons, you’ll find both options allowing you to choose the one that’s right for your needs.

Which mattress is best for allergies and asthma?

If you're managing asthma or all-year allergies, we recommend:

  • Sealy mattresses – Featuring Smart Fibres, endorsed by Allergy UK, which help prevent dust mite build-up.
  • **Staples natural eco latex mattresses – Naturally antibacterial and breathable, helping to combat allergens while offering plush support.
  • Mattresses featuring our pro-bio treated fabric – this natural fabric treatment reduces harmful bacteria and helps to prevent the effects of dust mite allergens.

For extra protection, pair your mattress with a hypoallergenic mattress protector to protect your mattress against spills, moisture, and dust mites.

What causes allergies in the bedroom?

Your bedroom might be more allergen-prone than you think. Common triggers include:

  • Dust mites (especially in mattresses and pillows)
  • Pet dander
  • Pollen carried in on clothing or through open windows
  • Mould and mildew in humid environments

Allergen-resistant bedding, regular vacuuming, and washing your sheets at 60°C can all help — especially when combined with a hypoallergenic or anti-allergy mattress and duvet.

What are hypoallergenic pillows and anti-allergy pillows?

Hypoallergenic pillows are designed to reduce allergic reactions by using materials like anti-bacterial fibres, memory foam, or natural latex that naturally resist dust mites and bacteria.

Anti-allergy pillows often include an additional treatment or barrier that actively prevents allergen build-up, making them ideal for asthma sufferers or those with year-round sensitivities.

Both types are available in various firmness levels, so you don’t have to sacrifice comfort for cleanliness.

What is the best hypoallergenic duvet for allergies?

Our hypoallergenic duvets are filled with synthetic or treated fibres that resist allergens and are easy to wash. For those who suffer from night-time congestion or itchy eyes, an anti-allergy duvet offers added reassurance by actively deterring the build-up of dust mites and bacteria.

Look out for Allergy UK-approved options and choose the right tog for your sleep temperature – from cool 4.5 tog summer duvets to snug 13.5 tog winter duvets.

Are hypoallergenic mattresses suitable for children?

Yes, and they’re a brilliant choice. Children’s immune systems are still developing, and allergies can disrupt their sleep even more than adults. A hypoallergenic mattress for kids helps reduce their exposure to common allergens while offering the support their growing bodies need. Add a washable anti-allergy duvet and pillow set for a fresh, allergy-friendly sleep setup.

Are natural mattresses hypoallergenic?

They can be. Many of our natural mattresses are made from materials like wool, cotton, and latex, which are naturally breathable and resistant to moisture—two key factors in allergen prevention. However, if you have sensitivities to certain natural fibres, we recommend opting for certified hypoallergenic or anti-allergy options.

How do I keep my mattress allergy-free?

Here are a few simple ways to protect your sleep:

  • Use a hypoallergenic mattress protector
  • Wash bedding weekly at 60°C
  • Vacuum mattresses*, bed frames, and carpets regularly
  • Avoid letting pets sleep on your bed
  • Choose hypoallergenic duvets and pillows that can be washed frequently

*Before vacuuming your mattress, check your manufacturer-issued care guide to make sure that it’s permitted. Some of our mattresses have a combination of fillings and these can be disrupted if the mattress is vacuumed. Always use a soft upholstery tool where vacuuming is permitted.
