Do You Need a Hypoallergenic Mattress?

Not everyone needs a hypoallergenic mattress but it can make a noticeable difference in sleep quality, comfort, and even overall health. Plus who doesn't like the idea of a sleep station that's fresh and clean!

If you suffer from allergies, asthma, or sensitive skin, then your mattress could be playing a bigger role than you think. Some mattresses can harbour dust mites, mould spores, and pet dander, especially over time. These hidden irritants can trigger sneezing and sniffles as well as possibly disturbed sleep, particularly during hay fever season or in older homes.

A hypoallergenic mattress is designed to resist the build-up of these allergens. Whether it's made with tightly sealed memory foam, breathable latex, or clean synthetic fibres, these materials naturally reduce the chance of allergen exposure.

Even if you don’t have diagnosed allergies, hypoallergenic mattresses are also a great choice for:

• Guest Rooms, HMOs, or rental properties. One clean, versatile option for all types of guests
  
• Children, especially those prone to asthma or eczema
  
• City Homes, where air quality and dust can impact your sleep health
  
• Anyone looking for a fresher, lower-maintenance mattress
  

Paired with a washable or anti-allergy cover, a hypoallergenic mattress is one of the simplest and most common ways to improve your sleep environment, without sacrificing comfort, firmness, or style.

Hypoallergenic vs Antimicrobial – What's the Difference?

It’s easy to confuse hypoallergenic and antimicrobial mattresses, but they’re not quite the same. A hypoallergenic mattress is made with materials that are very unlikely to cause allergic reactions, often by resisting dust mites, mould, or pollen build-up.

An antimicrobial mattress, on the other hand, actively fights and prevents the growth of bacteria, mould, and other microbes using special fillings, treated fabrics or infused materials. These mattresses are often ideal for clinical environments, care homes, or for individuals with extra-sensitive skin conditions. For example Latex is a naturally antimicrobial material which fights bacteria and allergies.

What Are the Best Hypoallergenic Mattress Materials?

Choosing the right material is important for many different reasons. While many people assume all foam mattresses are hypoallergenic, not all are created equal. Here are some materials that offer the best balance of cleanliness and comfort:

Memory Foam – The most popular choice which is naturally resistant to dust mites due to its dense structure, memory foam also helps reduce skin irritation by creating a sealed, allergen-limiting surface.

Latex – Both natural and synthetic latex have antimicrobial and hypoallergenic properties. It’s ideal for those who want a breathable mattress without allergens or synthetic fillers.

Reflex Foam – A firmer, more durable alternative to memory foam and as a bonus, reflex foam is often used in budget-friendly hypoallergenic mattresses. It resists moisture and bacteria build-up.

Man Made Fillings – Most synthetic fibres that are create an environment that's uninviting to allergens and dust mites, especially when used in quilted or stitched designs.

Washable Covers – A removable, machine-washable cover is the perfect solution for allergy sufferers. Several models in our range include these easy-clean options.

Looking for low-allergy options for kids or sensitive sleepers? Our Children’s Mattresses often overlap with hypoallergenic materials and are built with extras like zip up covers or highly breathable materials.
