Dust are microscopic creatures that can live by the millions in your bed. They thrive in stale, dark, moist environments, and are found most often in synthetic and foam material mattresses. The honeycomb structure of synthetic foams as well as the predominate use of synthetic fibers in spring coil mattresses provide a perfect environment in which dust mites thrive.

Experts agree that one of the main causes of allergies and illness today is the allergic reaction to dust mites and dust mite waste products in our sleeping environment. Dust mites live on human skin flakes and dander and thrive in any type of synthetic mattress. Itchy and red eyes, undue fatigue, skins rashes, congestion, coughing and sneezing fits, runny nose and other allergic reactions, are signs of dust mite contamination.

Natural materials on the other hand do not provide a place for dust mites to live. Wool, cotton, Natural Latex are naturally anti-mircobial. The open structure and dry porous structure of these natural materials leave no place for dust mites to reside. All Haiku Designs mattresses and futons use only natural materials such as organic latex cores, unbleached and natural wool liners.

In addition, the Haiku Designs “Total Sleep System” allows air to circulate through the mattress due to the slat style construction upon which the mattress is placed. This constant exchange of fresh air for stale air in the mattress acts as a further significant deterent to dust mites.

Haiku Designs sleeping platforms are made of all natural products and do not use synthetic petrochemical foams, veneers, or glues, either in the bedframe or in any of our futon or mattresses. The result is that your bed is not a host for dust mites and other microbes and does not off-gas petrochemical toxins into your sleeping environment.

Make the healthy decision and choose a Total Sleep Care system from Haiku Designs.

And Rest Easy.
