The average untreated mattress contains between 1.5 to 2 million dust mites. Their waste contains a powerful allergen that can cause itchy skin, burning eyes, coughing and sneezing.
In addition to this, mattresses harbour bacteria, viruses, fungi and mould, all of which can be dangerous to health. If you suffer from asthma or other respiratory problems, these allergens will make them even worse. Medi-Bed's unique dry process uses UV-C germicidal radiation, a high-power vacuum, and purifying HEPA filtration to destroy 99% of bacteria and 95% of dust mites on beds and other fabrics (as confirmed by the Tokyo Research Institute and the British Allergy Foundation). Sanitising by Medi-Bed also eliminates odours and prolongs the life of mattresses.
