Do you go to bed feeling fine, only to wake with sneezing, a blocked or runny nose, itchy eyes or irritated skin?
If it happens regularly in bed or first thing in the morning, something in your bedroom may be contributing. Mattresses, pillows and bedding can collect dust mite allergens, pollen, pet dander and dust, placing them close to your face for hours each night.
QUICK ANSWER
Dust mites are a common bedroom allergen and are often concentrated in mattresses, pillows and bedding. Pollen and pet dander can also be carried onto the bed through hair, clothing and pets.
Regularly washing bedding, vacuuming your mattress and managing excess humidity can help reduce what accumulates. For mattresses and pillows that are more difficult to wash, Euclove Bedding & Mattress Spray provides an easy way to include these surfaces in your regular bedding routine.
What bedroom allergens can make allergies worse at night?
Common bedroom allergens include dust mite particles, pet dander, pollen and mould spores. Dust mites favour mattresses, pillows and soft furnishings, while pollen and pet dander can be carried onto the bed through hair, clothing and pets. Excess moisture or humidity may also encourage mould.
Because you spend several hours with your face close to your pillow and bedding, symptoms such as sneezing, congestion or itchy eyes may become more noticeable overnight or when you wake. If your dog sleeps on the bed, their fur may add pet dander and outdoor pollen to what collects on your sheets.

How can I reduce allergens in my mattress and bedding?
Start with a regular routine for the parts of the bedroom closest to you:
- Wash sheets and pillowcases regularly.
- Wash pillow and mattress protectors according to their care instructions.
- Vacuum your mattress, particularly around the seams.
- Air the bed before remaking it.
- Wash pet blankets and throws regularly.
- Manage excess humidity or visible mould at its source.
Sheets can go straight into the washing machine, but mattresses and pillows are not so easy to clean. This is where a spray made specifically for bedding can be useful.
