House dust mite allergy
- no problem with feathers and down

The NOMITE brand confirms that bedding articles displaying the mark fit for house dust mite allergy sufferers. Because down and feather filled products offer excellent thermal and climatic conditions (a rapid warming up while one is sleeping, rapid decrease in the bed's humidity if the room is aired regularly. This provides a poor habitat for the house dust mite that relies on high humidity to life.

Your additional protection is the tight weave of the down-proof fabric, which works as a barrier preventing the house dust mites from penetrating the fabric.

So people suffering from dust allergy may fully enjoy the warmth and comfort of down and feather filled duvets and pillows displaying the NOMITE mark. NOMITE Care Recommendations:

• Air your bedding and bedroom regularly to reduce humidity.

• Wash bedding regularly following the washing instructions of the label.

• Replace bedding which has lost its bulkiness after many years of use.
