Survey reveals best ways to combat the effects of allergens living in your home, just in time for spring allergy season
Nearly 98% of allergists recommend protective bedding as the number-one way to minimize indoor allergy symptoms, according to a recent Braun Research survey, conducted on behalf of Aller-Ease(1). In addition to protective bedding, allergists also recommend antihistamines (96%), air conditioning (88%), air purifiers (80%) and diet modifications (26%).
Virtually all beds are host to an entire world of invisible allergens. Although most people are unaware of this fact, allergists are all too familiar with the symptoms associated with these unseen bedfellows. That’s why they recommend protective bedding as the first line of defense.
“Combating allergy symptoms usually involves a combination of treatments, including allergen protective bedding for those with indoor allergies. Beds can be a hotspot for accumulation of many common indoor allergens such as house dust, dust mites and pet dander,” said Clifford W. Bassett, M.D., Medical Director of Allergy and Asthma Care of New York.
Allergy sufferers say they like Aller-Ease protective bedding because they filter allergens, yet they’re soft, cool and quiet, allowing them to sleep comfortably and wake feeling refreshed.
