Hypoallergenic Mattresses

Hypoallergenic mattresses typically use natural latex, memory foam with antimicrobial treatments, or pocket springs with hypoallergenic fillings. These materials naturally resist dust mites and bacteria. Covers are often made from bamboo or organic cotton which wick moisture away and prevent allergen buildup. All materials meet BS 7177 fire safety standards required for motorhomes and caravans.

Hypoallergenic mattresses significantly reduce dust mite populations by using materials that don't provide food sources and by maintaining proper ventilation. Dense foam construction prevents mites from penetrating deep into the mattress. However, regular cleaning of bedding and maintaining low humidity levels remain important for complete dust mite control in confined spaces like motorhomes.

Yes, hypoallergenic mattresses can be made to any measurements. This is particularly important for motorhomes and boats where standard sizes leave gaps that collect allergens. Custom cutting ensures the mattress fits precisely, eliminating spaces where dust and moisture can accumulate. Thickness can also be adjusted to suit overhead clearance whilst maintaining comfort and support.

Quality hypoallergenic mattresses typically last 8-12 years with proper care. Natural latex versions often last longest, whilst memory foam variants provide excellent durability in motorhome conditions. Regular rotation and using breathable protectors help maintain their hypoallergenic properties. Guarantees up to 10 years are available, reflecting the expected lifespan of these specialist mattresses.

Hypoallergenic mattresses require minimal special maintenance. Regular airing helps prevent moisture buildup, particularly important in confined spaces. Vacuum the surface monthly to remove surface allergens. Use breathable, washable protectors rather than plastic covers which can trap moisture. Avoid harsh chemicals which can break down hypoallergenic treatments and compromise their effectiveness.

Hypoallergenic mattresses are excellent for children, especially those with asthma or allergies. They provide a cleaner sleep environment by reducing exposure to common triggers. Custom sizing ensures proper fit in bunk beds or unusual spaces common in motorhomes. All materials used are safe for children and meet strict fire safety standards required for leisure vehicles.

Delivery typically takes 7-14 working days depending on seasonal demand and current production capacity. Custom cutting and specialist hypoallergenic materials require careful handling during manufacture. Free UK delivery is included. Rush orders may be possible during quieter periods, but standard lead times ensure proper quality control and treatment of hypoallergenic materials.
