The Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA), a non-profit organization founded in 1953, is the leading patient organization for people with asthma and allergies, and the oldest asthma and allergy patient group in the world. AAFA is dedicated to improving the quality of life for people with asthma and allergic diseases through education, advocacy and research.

Is the breathe™ product only for those who suffer from allergies or asthma?

Absolutely not. While 1 in 4 American households may have a more personalized desire for this product, everyone can benefit from a cleaner, healthier sleeping environment.

How long can I expect the benefit of this product to last?

Using the product care guidelines provided by the researchers, you can expect a full ten years of certified performance for a breathe™ mattress.

Can I expect my respiratory symptoms to subside after sleeping on this product?

NO. The breathe™ mattress does not make any medical claims. However, the opinions of more than 800 physicians, when surveyedd, substantiate that addressing the bed is the #1 priority in creating an allergen reduction and control plan.

Can't putting a certified mattress cover deliver the same results?

NO. Mattress pads and protectors "mask" potential problems and don't provide the 100% assurance that the internal components of the mattress are free of harmful VOC's, and other key allergen triggers. We do recommend using a certified top of bed in concert with a breathe™ mattress. This allows the consumer to feel much more comfortable that they are getting the maximum in protection.
