Astex PRISTINE® Encasements use unique patented fabric with a pore size of 5.9 microns creating an impenetrable barrier for house dust mites (and their allergens) being able to come into contact with your skin. Our Encasements have been awarded the British Allergy Foundation Seal of Approval as well as being registered as a Class 1 Medical Device. Astex Allergy Bedding Encasements are VAT FREE if you suffer from Asthma or a chronic and long-term illness such as Eczema, Rhinitis, arthritis or a disability. Please fill in the VAT Exemption form before you place your order and this will generate the code sent to your email for use when placing your order. Put the code into the coupon box at checkout to allow VAT to 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, silent, supple, breathable and lightweight (no plastic backing and not chemically treated) 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.
