WHAT ARE THE MAIN DIFFERENCES WITH THE ANTI-DUST MITE COVERS SOLD ON THE MARKET?
In addition to the differences in manufacturing, fabric quality, finish... IMMUNOCTEM anti-mite covers are without acaricidal chemical treatment.
The IMMUNOCTEM anti-dust mite cover completely surrounds your mattress (double-sided), it encloses the mites in the mattress. It forms a natural protective barrier between the sleeper and the dust mites present in the mattress, while providing the sleeper with excellent comfort due to its breathability. Its filtration efficiency has been tested at the immuno-allergology laboratory of the Tenon Hospital (AP-HP, Paris). This study was published in the Revue Française d'Allergologie in December 2006, which is the reference journal for allergists.
While the majority of anti-dust mite covers sold on the market are treated with a natural or synthetic acaricide treatment that will kill the mites (acaricide). This treatment, which is often ephemeral (washing), is not always trivial due to the potential toxicity of the products used (biocides).

Furthermore, it doesn't address the real problem because dust mites, even dead ones, remain allergenic. These so-called "anti-dust mite" covers rarely cover the mattress on both sides, the "effectiveness labels" are often proprietary, and many are not very breathable and cause perspiration. We therefore recommend exercising extreme caution regarding the numerous anti-dust mite labels found on bedding products... In this regard, we advise you to read the April 2017 special issue of 60 Million Consumers (No. 188) on the potential toxicity of anti-dust mite treatments (and other household products). IMMUNOCTEM is cited as a reference brand without chemical acaricide treatment (page 77).
