Is sleep being affected by mattress allergens?

23/04/2010

It has been claimed that mattress allergens could be contributing to many peoples poor quality sleep.

The Simmons Bedding Company stated that mattress related allergies can manifest themselves through snoring and a difficulty in breathing at night.

Danny Seo, the companys environmental lifestyle expert, described how people often attribute allergic symptoms to external triggers such as hayfever, when in fact it could be their mattress causing the problems.

He went on to say "A good night's sleep is an important element of overall health and many individuals may be experiencing diminished sleep quality due to allergens in their mattresses, pillows or drapes."

Seo stated that one way to combat these allergic symptoms is to buy a new mattress made from natural materials.

Lindsay McManus, spokesperson for Allergy UK, stated that allergies can occur for a variety of reasons, in particular smoking, pollution or illness.
