Getting Started
People spend about a third of their lives sleeping. But not everyone
can appreciate this time due to sleep disorders. There are many causes
of sleep disorders. One is mite allergies. Mites are in every bed, but
generally only people with an allergy to mite feces remember that.
Many people view their warm, cozy bed in the autumn and winter with
mixed feelings. Climbing into a warm bed should be a comforting
experience, but it is also the time in which mite allergy symptoms
increase. Many people experience watering eyes, sneezing fits, and in
extreme cases, even shortness of breath or itchy skin.
Possible Solutions
Many people combat mites by washing their sheets and blankets in over 60 degree Celcius water, freezing cuddly children’s toys or eliminating anything that is a major dust-collector in the bedroom. Also, mattresses can be treated with a special spray and then encased in a cover so that mites no longer pass through.
House Dust Mites

A natural and sustainable method of fighting the mite problem is use of the Hygienic Wood Bed Mat. The common question is: Wood in bed? Yes, specifically pine heartwood which has a natural, antibacterial and germ-killing effect.
The Wilms Hygienic Wood Bed Mat is made of pine heartwood and used on top of the mattress/under the sheets.
The hygroscopic (moisture-absorbing) properties of the wood create a dry heat in bed. Mites feed on human skin cells but do not survive in dry climates.
"House dust mites have ideal living conditions at comfortable temperatures of 25 degrees and a relative humidity of 70%. With a relative humidity of less than 50%, they die." This information is available in an online dictionary at

Development of the mite population on Wilms Hygienic Wood Bed Mats and carpet
The mite population on a Wilms Hygienic Wood Bed Mat declines by 98.8%.
(Summary of the study
)
The University of Greifswald is conducting a product test researching the effect of Wilms Bed Mats and their effect on allergies.
The impact of Hygienic Wood on people with allergy-ridden bodies is being measured and recorded.
When the test results are available, we will report it in our newsletter. Subscribe now to find out this and other interesting facts about Wilms Hygienic Wood and also find out what we are up to!
