How to deep clean your mattress to get rid of allergies: 7 proven tips and tricks

Cleaning a mattress with a handheld vacuum cleaner to get rid of dust mites.

Not only are allergies aren't just difficult to deal with by day, they can also impact the quality of our sleep. Whether it's due to a high pollen count, a build up of dust mites or the presence of pet dander, these common allergens can settle on the surface of our mattress, leaving us to breathe them in all night long. This can result in an array of symptoms including a blocked nose,  tickly cough, as well as worsening respiratory issues like asthma. 

As mattress testers, we know that the best mattress for allergy sufferers will be one with hypoallergenic properties. However, even those specialist beds can fall foul to affects of common allergies if they aren't cleaned regularly enough. Your bed should be a space for rest and relaxation, and not a trigger for an allergic reaction.
