Monday, November 05, 2007 at 08:45 PMThere are many distributors online which have the covers, or you can even find them at Target. Some are nicer, higher quility, and more comfortable than others. My doctor tends to say she is a minimalist as far as what a person can do to help with allergies, espescially dust and dust mites. The mattress and pillow covers are really helpful because dust is problem because it settles on surfaces, so then we lay down in the dust and dust mites. We are allergic to the dust mites digestive elements, so you should always wash your bedding in hot water. My doctor said that the air purifier probably would not be necessary but if I could find one that might help, that isn't too expensive, that it couldn't hurt. Although, the ozone producing ones can be harmful, and typically are problematic for people with asthma. Specifically, the IonicBreeze is supposed to be harmful. That's about all I know though. -

There is a good article with helpful tips about how to allergy proof your home, what helps and what doesn't. Personally, I do not use an air filter at home separate from my heating and air conditioning system. I do use the HEPA recommended filters.
Good luck and let us know how you are doing!

You asked the question I needed to ask so interested in any reply you get. My allergy dr. didn't think air purifier was necessary if I don't have critters in the house. I do have dust and some molds, which we are addressing. I need to purchase the mattress covers and pillow covers but haven't found a reasonable source, as yet.
Interested in what you have learned.
