Say bye-bye to nasty dust mites and say hello to Protect-A-Bed!

How many of us sleep at night, or actually not really sleep at night, and wake up the next morning, feeling like we didn't get a good night's rest. Well, for my husband and I, that has been the topic of our late night pillow conversations before attempting to go to bed. We find ourselves tossing and turning, as well as itching from head to toe. It sounds a little disgusting, and we both shower religiously, but every night, we are itching ourselves all over, reminding us of our chicken-pox days.

Since we were both experiencing these issues, we knew it didn't have to do with our bodies and had something to do with our bed. At first, we assumed it was our bed sheets. We started to wash them, almost every other day, and nothing really changed. So then, we thought it was the detergent that we were using. We only use natural detergents, so we tried using other natural detergents, that were completely in its most natural forms. To our sadness, that didn't work either. We had an inclination that it was probably the nasty little dust mites, coming from our mattress. It was our last and only reason we could come up with.

We then discovered, Protect-A-Bed. They have a whole product line based on allergy relief. Everything from mattress protectors to crib protectors. From their site, I learned that an estimated two million dust mites could thrive in an unprotected mattress. How nasty is that? Did anyone watch that episode with Oprah, going under the microscope, and revealing all the dust mites that are crawling all over our mattresses? Well, that is the visual I immediately got when reading this tidbit.

We tried out the Premium Mattress Protector, which is their standard model. We first followed the washing instructional that was sent along with our protector, which is a must. Then we proceeded to put it over our mattress. We both got ready for bed, and both were crossing our fingers, hoping this would be the answer to our nightly prayers. We actually had a long day, so both of us were ready to pass out, and the protector only helped us because it was super comfortable and soft. Immediately, we both passed out. We woke up the next morning, not once, having to itch our bodies, or being awaken by discomfort. We have used it for over a week, and let me tell you, our moods, our bodies, and our energy levels, have been in tip top shape.

I would recommend this product to everyone, even those that are not having any issues. I would rather sleep in a dust-mite free, allergen-free bed any day, then have to ponder or visualize the thought of little critters walking all over my body. Yuck! There are so many other perks, such as the 10 year warranty, the Miracle Membrane with Total Heat Transference Formula, and protection from stains(accidental spills, perspiration, bodily fluids).

Remember, by protecting your mattress/pillow/crib, you are protecting your family, your health, and your hygiene. Why not sleep with clean comfort? Sleep is something that we all deserve and need. Let's do it the right way!
