DUST MITES, WHAT ARE THE DANGERS, HOW TO LIMIT THEIR PROLIFERATION?
Microscopic spiders invisible to the naked eye (about 1/4 of a millimeter), they can be found in carpets and curtains... But their favourite place remains the mattress. A mattress can hold several million. A mite lives for about two months, and a female lays between 25 and 50 eggs every three weeks.
Dust mites produce allergenic particles, which are responsible for the development of many allergies. The small size of these particles makes it easier to inhale. Even when dead, dust mites remain allergenic. In order to limit the proliferation of dust mites, good hygiene must be ensured. However, it remains difficult to completely limit their development.

Some hygiene rules to follow:
. Keep the bedroom temperature below 19 degrees Celsius
. Ventilate frequently, even in winter, to remove humidity
. Wash sheets, pillowcases, and duvet covers regularly
. Use a slatted bed base if possible
. Do not store objects (suitcases, etc.) under the bed base
. Remove dust by vacuuming regularly (HEPA filter)
. Avoid carpets

If we cannot completely limit the development of mites, then how can we protect ourselves?
If you equip your current mattress (likely already infested with dust mites) with the Immunoctem full-coverage (front/back) anti-dust mite mattress cover, you will have excellent protection against dust mite allergens. (Study published in the French Journal of Allergology and Clinical Immunology in December 2006).
The IMMUNOCTEM anti-dust mite cover, without chemical acaricide treatment, forms a remarkably effective natural protective barrier against dust mite allergens (quantity below the detection threshold), as demonstrated by the study conducted at the Immuno-Allergology Laboratory of Tenon Hospital (AP-HP), Paris.

However, if you do not own an IMMUNOCTEM anti-dust mite mattress, you will be releasing dust mite allergens from your mattress into the air when you remove the IMMUNOCTEM cover to wash it...
With the IMMUNOCTEM anti-dust mite mattress, which does not use chemical acaricides, you have double protection against dust mites: at the mattress cover level and/or at the mattress level.

The advantages of the IMMUNOCTEM anti-dust mite mattress:
- The IMMUNOCTEM anti-dust mite mattress comes factory-fitted with the IMMUNOCTEM anti-dust mite cover, which is free of chemical acaricide treatment and remains fully removable and washable at 60 degrees Celsius.
- The unique design of the IMMUNOCTEM anti-dust mite mattress does not promote the development of dust mites: it contains no padding (wadding) and no natural materials (wool, etc.) that dust mites love...
The Immunoctem anti-dust mite mattress guarantees exceptional comfort thanks to our high-resilience, 100% polyurethane foam with a high density of 40 kg/m³ for balanced comfort and 45 kg/m³ for firm comfort. The IMMUNOCTEM anti-dust mite mattress is also one of the healthiest mattresses available. It contains no chemical acaricides. All components have been carefully selected and are regularly tested.
Thus, the IMMUNOCTEM anti-dust mite mattress is one of the few mattresses to have obtained the OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100 Class 1 label (the most demanding level, for baby products), awarded by the French Textile and Apparel Institute (IFTH, Lyon). The IMMUNOCTEM anti-dust mite mattress has undergone numerous crush resistance tests, attesting to its excellent quality.
The anti-dust mite covers and mattresses produced by IMMUNOCTEM, which are free of chemical acaricide treatment, are recommended by the French Association for Allergy Prevention.
