I purchased the encasements from Astex having suffered with allergic rhinitis for years, nightly, and was utterly delighted to notice an immediate improvement in my quality of sleep health. I have barely needed my inhaler and my nasal airways are so much clearer. I am genuinely astounded at the difference it has made.
