Dust mites and bed bugs are equally unpleasant visitors in your bed. Who they are and how to prevent them, read below.

SleepAngel PneumaPure bedding is clinically tested to be an effective barrier for viruses, bacterias, mould, dust-mites and bed bugs, while being comfortable and easy to maintain. 

Here is a small overview on who is who, by the way, one of them is almost a spider.

Bed bug (Cimex lectularius) - parasitic insects that feed on the blood of people and animals. It is up to 7 mm in length, has flat and long oval body, reddish-brown in colour. Bed bugs do not transmit diseases, but can trigger an allergic response.

Dust mite (Dermatophagoides farinae or Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus) - belongs to arachnids family and is therefore related to ticks and spiders. It is 0.1–0.4 mm long, translucent to white in colour and has been described as “globular” in shape. It eats dead skin cells and can cause allergic reaction because of the allergens present in their bodies, fecal matter and secretions. Inhalation of these dust mite allergens can cause symptoms such as asthma attacks and wheezing. 

Both bed bugs and dust mites are easier to prevent than to fight once settled in. SleepAngel PneumaPure filtered bedding is an effective barrier to viruses and bacterias, but also dust mites and bed bugs.
