Astex PRISTINE® Encasements are made with a fabric pore size of 5.9 microns and this creates a impenetrable barrier preventing house dust mites (and their allergens) coming into contact with your skin. As a Registered Class 1 Medical Device – Astex Allergy Bedding Encasements are VAT FREE to sufferers of a chronic allergy, a long term illness, arthritis or a disability (fill in the VAT Exemption form when you place your order and this wil generate a code so that VAT can be deducted with final payment).
The soft lattice of the selected fibre allows heat and moisture to pass through, keeping you cool and your sleeping surface dry and comfortable. The Encasements are fresh, soft, supple, breathable and lightweight so that you will not notice them when you sleep.
House dust mites and their allergens are a known trigger of Asthma, Eczema and allergic Rhinitis. By keeping the house dust mite and its allergens trapped, you are able to control one of the key factors associated with allergic reactions.

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.
