The housedustmite can only become 1/3 mm long and cannot be seen with the naked eye!
In fact only 2-3% of the Danish population are allergic to down and feathers!
Allergy
Many people, who have allergy symptoms when they are lying in bed, are reacting to housedustmites. And here it makes no difference whether the quilt or pillow is made of down/feathers or of synthetic material, as house-dust mites are not interested in the material.
So it is not the filling that is crucial for allergies, but the temperature used for washing.
The main problem is the house-dust mite, which prefers to live in damp rooms that are not kept clean. It is the excrements from the house-dust mite that certain allergy sufferers react against.
Our products comply with the European NOMITE-classification, which documents that our down products cannot contain house-dust mites. The case is so closely woven that neither the nourishment of the housedustmite, which consists of skin flakes from people, or the mite itself can penetrate it.
All of our down products are allergy neutral, as they can be washed at 60oC - the house-dust mite dies at 55o C.
