Sleep Soundly: Tips for Allergy-Free Nights in Singapore
- Banish Dust Mites
Dust mites adore cozying up in your bed, triggering allergies and asthma symptoms. Regularly washing your bedding can work wonders in keeping these pesky critters at bay. Opt for 100% cotton sheets like our beloved Vintage Softwash range. These breathable sheets make it tough for allergens to thrive, ensuring you enjoy allergy-free slumber.
Remember to shower before bedtime to minimize bringing allergens into your bed.
- Pet-Free Zone
We love our furry friends, but their fur and skin cells can worsen allergies. Consider creating a pet-free zone in your bedroom. If separation anxiety kicks in, go for our Tencel Luxe Fitted Sheet Set Heritage Collection. Hypoallergenic and moisture-wicking, they repel pet fur and are a breeze to clean.
- Pillow Refresh
Your pillow might be hosting a germ party, leading to restless nights. Swap your pillow every two years and opt for anti-bacterial microfibre pillows. The Core Collection Hypoallergenic Pillow Twin Pack is especially designed for those that suffer from allergies and asthma, these are also the perfect alternative to down and feather pillows.
Alternatively, indulge in silk pillowcases. These hypoallergenic wonders not only combat allergens but also pamper your skin.
- Allergy-Resistant Bedding
Invest in bedding that fights allergens. Our Cool Bamboo Bed Set Hotel Collection is light/medium weight and hypoallergenic, perfect for Singapore's climate. Add a mattress protector for extra protection.
Don't forget to choose an anti-allergy quilt, like our Premium Quilt Hypoallergenic Core Collection, for a snuggly and sneeze-free sleep.
- Relaxation Rituals
Combat stress-induced allergies by unwinding before bed. Try meditation, deep breathing exercises, or a nice warm bath with the Premium Bamboo Bath Caddy Extendable. Enhance your ambiance with candles or diffusers from Home Fragrances. A soothing aroma signals your brain that it's time to wind down.
- Dust Off
Keep allergens at bay by regularly vacuuming and dusting your bedroom, including your mattress and bedside surfaces. Cleaner air means easier breathing, especially for asthma sufferers.
