MISSION: ALLERGY Barrier II Fabric is the most cost-effective allergen-barrier: allergen-impermeable, soft, lightweight, and imperceptible beneath the sheets. It is extremely tightly woven, with a mean pore size of 6 microns to block all allergens, yet is air-permeable, making it very comfortable to sleep on. It is not hot and sweaty, as are encasing fabrics made with membranes; does not allow any allergen escape, as do many cotton encasings; and does not accumulate surface allergen, as do encasings made with terry cloth or non-woven fabric. MISSION: ALLERGY Allergen-Proof Mattress Encasings are manufactured with the highest quality sewing construction. The differences from competitive products are immediately apparent. All seams and edges are bound with seam binding for durability. Placement of the encasing on the mattress is easier, thanks to super-long zippers that are half the circumference of the entire mattress! Zippers are of the highest quality, with an interior zipper flap to prevent allergen escape through the zipper webbing (no tape needed). These medical-grade encasings are suitable for adults or children with allergic asthma, allergic rhinitis, or allergic eczema (or simply for good hygiene). They are the ultimate cost-effective allergen-proof mattress encasing for comfort, protection, and durability. 100% Woven Polyester Microfiber. Ten-year warranty.
