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.
