Product Description

Microfiber wovens are the newest type of allergen-barrier encasing. They are constructed from microfiber fabrics: new high-tech fabrics made of fibers so thin and yarns so tightly woven that there is no space between the weave of the yarns large enough to allow the passage of allergen molecules. Since the microfiber fabric is itself acting as a filter that prevents allergen escape, encasings made from a true microfiber do not need the urethane membrane. Without the membrane they are truly breathable, that is, both air and water vapor can pass freely through the fabric, even though allergen cannot. They are therefore extremely comfortable, actually imperceptible in use. Microscope photos have shown that many of the competitive products are much less tightly woven than the Pristine Basic fabric. In many cases, the pores in those fabrics are more than large enough to allow the passage of allergens. This is not the case with Pristine Basic - the pores in this fabric are small enough to block many common household allergens, including dust mites. All Pristine Basic mattress covers come with a 20 year guarantee.

Don't know if it works or not!!
Came on time, nice packaging, etc.etc. But I don't really know if it works, I just read somewhere that mattresses have a lot of dust mites and that to combat them, get a mattress encasing. My daughter has a lot of runny nose allergy issues so I bought this. It's only been on her crib mattress for a week or so. I don't know if it's helped or not, she's pretty much the same. I'm sure it's keeping those nasty bugs away so I at least can take comfort in that :) I'd buy another one and I would recommend just because of what I have read from doctors and baby websites.
