Silk bedding takes the trophy on another big category as well it is highly hypoallergenic. Any bedding that cannot be washed should be left of the allergic patient’s bed and replaced with allergy relief products.
Wool blankets must be replaced with cotton, for instance, and silk filled comforters will replace the real down that Grandma used when she made the quilts and comforters used for years. Casings for the box springs and mattress are necessary additions for symptomatic relief. Even though the mattress pad gets laundered frequently, the mattress harbors the dust mites as readily as do the silk bed linen.
When looking for relief from a physical infirmity such as allergies, it’s good to put them in perspective.
