DID YOU KNOW?

Over 5.5 million people in the UK suffer from asthma. There are 18,000 first or new episodes of asthma presented each week to GPs.
That during our natural lives, on average we spend nearly a third of it lying on top of our mattresses and that every night around half a litre of your sweat goes into your mattress. That’s the same as whole bathful of sweat a year! Perfect humid conditions for thriving communities of house dust mites, moulds and fungal spores.
That on average we lose around 28g of dead skin cells each week and human skin flakes are food favourites for house dust mites.
1 in 3 people will suffer from an allergy at some time in their life.
That in an average pillow 20% of it’s weight is made up of dead skin and dust mite residue.
That running a domestic vacuum cleaner over your mattress at home you could be making problems much worse.
Each house dust mite excretes about 20 pellets a day. Each dropping has 12 sub-pellets. That's 24,000 sub-pellets each and every day.
One in eight children has asthma and this figure has increased six-fold in the last 25 years.
Dust mites have a high reproductive rate, egg laying female mites increase the population by 25 to 30 every three weeks.
A mattress that is only 6 months old will still contain sufficient amount of mites to affect allergy sufferers.
