The MISSION: ALLERGY Premium Microfiber Fabric on the outside of these pillows is the ultimate allergen-barrier, totally effective and silky soft. With a mean pore size of 2 microns it blocks all allergens, yet is air-permeable, making it completely comfortable to sleep on. It is not hot and sweaty, as are barrier-fabrics made with membranes; does not allow any allergen escape, as do many cotton barrier-fabrics; and does not accumulate surface allergen, as do barrier fabrics made with terry cloth or non-woven fabric. These MISSION: ALLERGY Allergen-Proof Pillows are filled with luxurious DreamFill, ultra-fine fibers that are as soft as silk, with superior lofting quality and a down-like feeling, providing softness, resilience, and comfort. These medical-grade pillows are suitable for adults or children with allergic asthma, allergic rhinitis, or allergic eczema (or simply for good hygiene). They are the ultimate non-down, allergen-proof pillow for comfort, protection, and durability. 100% Woven Polyester Microfiber shell; 100% polyester filling. Note: These allergen-proof pillows are available exclusively from MISSION: ALLERGY. Do not confuse them with other pillows sold as "hypoallergenic". The term "hypoallergenic" refers only to the fact that the interior filling of the pillow does not itself cause allergy-not to whether it can become colonized with dust mites! Our pillows have a Premium Microfiber allergen-barrier exterior, and thus cannot become colonized with mites (or bedbugs). They therefore do not require encasing or hot water washing.
