1.2 Mite insulation layer and mite-proof bed border
The mite insulation layer, a PUR membrane integrated directly under the cotton surface and
the mite-proof bed border reduce your contact to the allergy-causing dust mites and their ex-
crement. In addition, this special finish also helps reduce mites by cutting them off from their
supply of food.
1.3 heat
You can specifically fight mite populations that already exist with our heat underblanket. The
temperature you produce by setting the switch to level 6 ("anti-allergy" level) of the heat un-
derblanket dries your mattress, and therefore creates a "mite-hostile" micro-climate on the
mattress surface.
We recommend you use the "anti-allergy" level regularly. Ideally, the heat underblanket should
be operated for several hours. The automatic switch-off time of 12 hours is especially well-
suited for this purpose. To prevent the heat from escaping, the heat underblanket should be
completely covered during this process.
