Prevention Magazine has been a leading provider of trustworthy health information, empowering readers with practical strategies to improve their physical, mental, and emotional well-being for 70 years. In this months issue, it names Protect-a-Bed pillow protectors as ‘best for allergies’. According to Prevention Magazine:
This one is a customer favorite for its tight fit that somehow maintains the softness of the pillow inside. A Miracle Membrane traps out allergens, bed bugs, and liquid spills or sweat, while a terry cloth border absorbs any mess, dries quickly, and is soft to the touch.
What Reviewers Say: “These protective cases are so well-made and so air-tight that I’ve had to keep the zipper slightly unzipped about a half-inch so that during the day, the pillow can absorb air and get fluffed up again. Now THAT’s quality!”
Pillow protecters that are CERTIFIED asthma & allergy friendly® undergo independent scientific testing to achieve the certification mark. The scientific standard ensures that bedding items form a sufficient barrier to allergens like dust mite allergen. If there is dust mite allergen on a product, it should be possible to remove this material through washing, so products should be of suitable quality to enable them to be washed regularly to reduce allergen build-up. The bedding is also tested for chemicals that can cause sensitivities or even allergic reactions.
Earlier this year, Forbes magazine also named Protect-a-Bed pillow protectors as best for allergies.
The Forbes article describes Protect-A-Bed as follows:
While most pillow protectors help keep your pillow clean and block some impurities, not all are suitable for those with allergies. Dr. Agarwal recommends looking for pillow protectors that are asthma and allergy friendly certified, which is a certification from the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA) certified and Allergy Standards Limit (ASL). This certification ensures the pillow protector is effective against allergens and triggers, which is why we recommend this one from Protect-A-Bed. Not only does it protect against allergens, but it’s also waterproof to block liquids and sweat while still remaining breathable and noise-free.
