Pillow Covers
Expert-Recommended Protection for a Cleaner Sleep Environment
Specialists often recommend encasing pillows with allergen-proof covers to maintain a clean and healthy sleep surface. Because pillows are frequently used and rarely replaced, high-quality protectors serve as an essential physical barrier against common household triggers.
Maintaining a fresh environment is a key step in supporting overall comfort. One of the most effective ways to manage the presence of dust mites and other microscopic particles is to use a precision-engineered pillow encasement. Our protectors are designed to keep environmental triggers out of your bedding, helping to maintain a refreshed living space.
The Allergy Store offers an extensive selection of dust mite-proof pillow covers with fabrics and prices to suit every preference and budget. You can rest easy knowing your bedding is protected by a high-performance barrier designed for durability and comfort.

Not all encasements are the same. Use this quick guide to find your perfect match.
| Fabric Type | Best For... | Pore Size | Feel |
|---|---|---|---|
| AllergyCare™ Organic Cotton | Eco-conscious & Chemical-free | 4.6 Microns | Soft, breathable cotton |
| Pristine® Luxury | Hot sleepers / Performance | 2.4 Microns | Smooth, silky microfiber |

Q: What is the best pore size for a dust mite pillow cover?
A: To effectively block dust mite allergens, look for a pore size under 10 microns. Our covers range from 2.4 to 4.6 microns, ensuring even the smallest allergens are trapped.
Q: Do I need to wash my allergy pillow cover before using it?
A: While not strictly necessary, we recommend washing once to soften the fabric. Our covers withstand frequent hot-water washing (130°F+) to kill surface allergens.
Q: Can I use a regular pillowcase over an allergy cover?
A: Yes! You should place your standard pillowcase over the allergy-proof encasement. The encasement stays on permanently as the barrier, while you wash your outer case weekly.
