National Allergy Premium 100% Cotton Duvet Comforter Protector - Long Twin Size - 70" x 90" - White - Breathable 300 Thread Count Hypoallergenic Cover - Zippered Encasement - Bedding Linen

My allergist recommended dust mite covers for our duvet, pillows & mattress as a first step in reducing my allergy symptoms. I was looking for a light weight, non-crinkly fabric & an easy to use duvet cover. Other reviewers mentioned that this product had these attributes, & I am happy to agree. Another nice feature is that each inside corner has ties for securing your comforter or blanket to keep it from shifting inside the cover. The fabric is a nice crisp white & is nice enough to use without a duvet cover if you like a plain white bed. It is also very wrinkle resistant & has a nearly full-length zipper which is very helpful. I also purchased the pillow covers, which I have reviewed separately, from the same manufacturer. I am very pleased with both & feel they were a worthwhile investment to minimize my allergy symptoms.

I purchased two of these pillow covers and the duvet cover which is also made by Allersoft. Both are lovely, excellent quality. I will be purchasing more of these for the rest of the household pillows. Recently, I was reminded of how gross dust mites can bee to the beds and pillows. It's one of those things that people hear over the years and might try to ignore (I have in the past). Something triggered in me this time, though, and I was on a mission to seal all of the items we sleep on. I did not want to get rid of my favorite feather/down pillows but couldn't stand the thought of what is in them after 10 years. I took a chance and washed them in my front loading washing machine on the sanitize cycle, extra hot water, with bleach, 3 times each (my husband was shaking his head a lot through this whole process). I figured if they didn't fall apart, we were good for another ten years! I dried them in the dryer with a few tennis balls. Then, placed them outside on a non-humid, dry, sunny day in the sun for a few hours. I then encased them in two of these covers. And, I will be purchasing an additional duvet cover to go over the top of the other duvet cover. I purchased the Allersoft duvet as a protectant layer/dust mite barrier for the down comforter and then was going to purchase some other duvet topper. But I like the look of the white duvet so much (and it is really great quality), I thought I will keep all the bed linens white. When I started looking for just a plain white duvet cover to go over the Allersoft layer, they were just as much or more for what I am sure would be a lesser quality (duvet was around $75 for king size). I know it sounds a little excess, but, by covering the allergy layer with another white, Allersoft cover, I can wash that additional layer as much as I want without worrying about degrading the fabric. The care instructions state to only wash twice a year which with those instructions and reviews elsewhere leads me to believe that the tight weave of this fabric, which is what makes it the allergen barrier, could start to loosen up after repeated washings. I am extremely happy these are 100% cotton and made in the USA.

LOVE THIS! I would have given it 5 stars if it was a little cheaper. I paid $74 frm Amazon. PROS: - It's 100% cotton (no crinkly polyprop) with that awesome crisp feel. - Long zipper (vs buttons so your duvet doesn't hang out) - corner ties inside to keep duvet in place - Feather-proof. Especially obvious when I unzip the cover - feathers + dust flies around. - I don't have severe allergies, but it's working great for me. You can tell it has a tight weave. - extremely light-weight. CONS: - Thin. So thin you can see the color of my duvet (which is cream). Not a huge con in my book. In fact, thinking of getting another one because I love this one so much. One as a protector and 2nd one as a duvet cover that gets removed + washed. I think that will take care of the see-through factor. Wish it was slighter cheaper considering how thin it is... That's the only reason I took a star off. - Quite wrinkly out of the dryer. But I like my sheets kinda wrinkly. Makes the bed look cozy. Hope this review was helpful. They drive my decisions, so I've decided to review my purchases from now on.

Down is hands down the best temperature regulating material. But almost not worth it because of the escaping down! They are just a headache and mess!!! This solved that problem! I now can love my down comforters. It does not interfere with breathability. It is "loud" in that it crinkles. But this doesn't bother me. It sounds "crisp" to me. This is my second one. The first, I've washed multiple times. Just gets softer and holds up well. It feels like quality materials. Zipper is fantastic! And fits great. I haven't needed to test if it's water proof. I'd say just being dense enough to keep down inside it would be naturally water resistant. It is NOT plastic. Which some water proof materials are and they don't breathe.

Cheap, crunchy cotton. I tried washing this repeatedly and it never softened up. Regret buying, did not use.

I bought this duvet far too long after I should have. I have developed allergies over the years. I have noticed that I would wake up with a stuffy nose and lots of congestion for some time now. I suspected that it had to do with my down comforter, but I was too cheap to buy an allergy protective cover because I was not sure if it would solve my problem. This cover has made a huge difference. I am waking up without being congested and I am having far fewer allergy symptoms. It was worth the purchase and of course I wish I bought it sooner. Yes the material may not feel like you expect. It is tightly woven which has also made my comforter warmer since less air is passing through. It might make some noise, but I do not notice, especially after it is broken in a bit. It also might hold some wrinkles, but mine is between my comforter and my decorative duvet. So if those things matter more than breathing better, maybe this is not for you. If your goal is to wake up with clear nostrils then don't keep waiting.

This was my second time to purchase the product for a different comforter. I am allergic to the fragrance, dust mites, and feathers. This product does not have any synthetic scent. The material was type of cotton which is thick enough for dust mites barrier. There are ties of each interior corner to secure my down comforter which has corner loops. I washed it by fallowing the instructions before I used it. The fabric was softened a little. I have using it for two weeks and have no signs of allergy reactions.

The reason why I gave three stars is because what the heck-- they didn't put outside tie holds on the duvet protector! (There are ties on the inside to keep your comforter in place inside the protector.) How am I supposed to keep this in place inside my decorative duvet cover?? I'm afraid that if I sew on my own ties I will expose the protector to holes that are greater than 3microns. AllerSoft what do I do??? I'd change my rating if there were an easy solution! Aside from the glaring problem with this duvet protector-- I really like the feel AllerSoft products. And I like that the brand is made in the USA. I have also used Eco Living Friendly and Mission Allergy products, but AllerSoft has the best price point to fabric feel ratio for me. Eco Living Friendly is the cheapest brand, and is not cotton (which some say may make it more durable in the long run), but the fabric feels strange to me. Mission Allergy is more expensive and high quality, but the fabric is very stiff. AllerSoft is priced between the two and is quite soft as far as dust mite fabrics go. Keep in mind that you will cover most of these allergy protector products with regular sheets and pillowcases, so the feel of the fabric is not a huge deal.
