Allergy-Friendly Sleep: How Copper & Hypoallergenic Covers Reduce Night-Time Irritants

Waking up congested? Your mattress could house millions of dust mites and bacteria. The Copper by Spring Air Collection pairs antimicrobial copper foam with hypoallergenic stretch-knit covers to create an inhospitable environment for common irritants—no harsh chemicals required.

Dust Mites by the Numbers

  • An average queen mattress can harbor 10 million dust mites after two years (Journal of Allergy & Clinical Immunology).
  • Proteins in dust-mite waste trigger allergic rhinitis in roughly 20 % of adults.

How Copper Helps

Copper ions disrupt bacterial cell walls, reducing surface microbes by > 99 % within two hours (ISO 22196). Fewer bacteria = fewer food sources for dust mites.
