It’s  allergy season again!  And for 119 million US households that are affected that means runny noses, congestion and sinus problems.

While many people find relief using over-the-counter and prescription drugs, they might not realize that something as simple as natural steam can have a profound effect on their respiratory symptoms.  We’ve all heard the “old wives’ tales”…hold your baby in the bathroom with the hot shower running if they’re congested; use a humidifier to alleviate cold and sinus issues…but it’s actually proven science! The warm mist opens sinuses by thinning secretions as it hydrates and soothes irritated tissues. No drugs are needed, making it an all-natural and safe decongestant.

When I was about 10 years old, we had one of those vacuum selling people come to the door.. You know that brand I am talking about… The guy had a display piece that attached to the side of the vacuum with these pads so you could see what they were sucking up. One of the things he did was vacuum out beds. It was something that I never forgot for the next 23 years. To this day it still makes me sick thinking about it. The pad was filled with just “”disgustingness”. (Yep made that one up) It wasn’t even something I could begin to describe. I made such a big deal about this attachment that he let us keep it! I vacuumed my bed every Sunday morning for the next 5 years. I actually had forgotten about this until I was writing this post. I think I need to head on over to ProtectABed.com and start pricing King sized stuff!

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, approximately 68 percent of high school graduates – more than 2.2 million – headed to college in 2010. It’s a good bet that many of them experienced the age-old rite of passage of moving into the dorms with dozens of new friends from near and far. And with all those people moving into such a small space, it’s no wonder that bed bug infestations on college campuses are on the rise.

But now, there is a way for parents to protect their college-bound kids. Protect-A-Bed has introduced its Student Bedding Protection Kit. This Kit is a trio of products that includes Protect-A-Bed’s Twin XL AllerZip® Mattress Encasement, Protect-A-Bed Mattress Protector, and Protect-A-Bed’s Pillow Protector — does more than assist in bed bug management. Many dorm mattresses have been slept on by multiple people, are filled with dust mites and other allergens, and have stains from students past. Mattress protection creates a layer between students and what’s lurking in their mattresses, to create a more hygienic – and bed bug free! – sleep environment. Furthermore, mattress protection will prevent additional damage to the mattress in the event of an accident.

Protect-A-Bed’s AllerZip® Smooth Mattress Encasement

AllerZip® mattress encasements feature a patented BugLock® three-sided zipper and innovative Secure Seal® which completely locks the encasement in place. The AllerZip mattress encasement is completely bed bug escape and entry proof. With an innovative Allergen Flap, it provides superior bed bug and allergy protection by preventing any allergens or bed bugs from entering or exiting through the zipper. Double-stitched seams also add a further level of protection around the entire encasement. The soft smooth surface is waterproof and stainproof, featuring the innovative Miracle Membrane® with the Total Heat Transference Formula. Liquids and stains stay out, yet the state-of-the-art AllerZip mattress protector remains breathable and comfortable.

Protect-A-Bed’s Basic Mattress Protector

Protect-A-Bed’s Basic Mattress Protector provides a barrier to allergens and dust mites and keeps a mattress sanitary and protected from spills and accidents. The product has a smooth polyester surface that is cool and comfortable to sleep on. The product also features the innovative Miracle Membrane® that provides a 2-way barrier for the mattress and the user to protect against allergens, dust mites and accidents. It has a fitted sheet style skirt that will stretch to fit mattresses without shifting. It doesn’t alter the feel of the mattress and can be easily removed for washing as simply as sheets.

Protect-A-Bed’s Premium Pillow Protectors

The super soft, absorbent yet ultra-thin Premium Pillow Protector protects against allergens, dust mites and bacteria. Featuring our Miracle Membrane®, the Premium Pillow Protector is waterproof yet air vapor porous, keeping your pillow cool and comfortable. Your pillow will also be protected from liquids and stains, and is machine washable. The Premium Pillow Protector is an essential part of your healthy sleep zone solution.

The importance of protecting yourself, your family and your mattress should be a priority even if you don’t have someone going off to school. Many of us are in need of a new mattress but the price is out of a lot of budgets. Ever wonder why your mattress gets heavier and heavier when you flip it? It’s filled with all of the dead skin and such that you lose every night when you sleep. Do your pets sleep on your bed? It’s filled with stuff from them too! It’s never to late to start protecting it and your body!

One lucky reader will win a Student bedding protection kit!
