Severe Dust Mite Allergies? What The Doctor Didn't Tell You.

When selling mattresses, you hear and see it all. After all, a mattress is a very intimate and important part of someone's life. And part of that process is hearing about our customer's health issues, such as snoring, sleep apnea and dust mite allergies. Dust mite allergies, which is actually an allergic reaction to the waste product produced by the dust mites, can be a very serious issue for some customers. These customers come into our stores all the time and tell us that their doctor directed them to get an encasement for their mattress. While I am not a doctor, I do know a thing or two about mattresses and have had a lifetime love affair with insects, which dust mites are. Ask my parents and they will tell you that I terrorized them with jars full of any and every bug I could find as a kid. Insects are fascinating! And one universal thing I learned about insects: they need food and water, just like every living thing.
