Hypoallergenic bedding: our natural solutions against dust mites and restless nights

Allergies, sneezing upon waking, disturbed sleep? If your nights are restless and your nose is stuffy in the morning, your bedding may be the culprit. Indeed, dust mites, dust, and chemical residues are often invisible but omnipresent in our bedrooms.

At Lanado.be , we believe that a good night's sleep starts with a healthy environment . And that starts with naturally hypoallergenic bedding, free from artificial treatments, made from high-quality, breathable materials. In this article, discover why so many sleepers suffer unknowingly, and how a wool duvet or pillow can radically improve the quality of your sleep—and your health.

Nighttime allergies: an underestimated problem

More than 20% of people in Europe suffer from respiratory allergies. And for many, the symptoms worsen at night .

Blocked or runny nose
Dry cough upon waking
Stinging eyes
Asthma or wheezing
Restless, unrefreshing sleep

Why? Because bedding is a breeding ground for dust mites . These microorganisms feed on dead skin cells, love humidity… and thrive where we spend 7 to 9 hours a night: in our bed.

What is hypoallergenic bedding?

Hypoallergenic bedding is designed to limit the development of allergens (dust mites, mold, bacteria) or to avoid any contact with irritating substances (chemicals, manufacturing residues, etc.).

It is characterized by:

Breathable materials that prevent stagnant moisture.
The absence of harsh chemical treatments
Naturally dust mite resistant fibers
Good temperature regulation , which limits perspiration

💡 At Lanado , we exclusively use chemically untreated materials, such as wool , which has natural hypoallergenic properties.

Why wool is ideal for hypoallergenic bedding

Contrary to popular belief, wool does not cause respiratory allergies . On the contrary, it is one of the healthiest fibers for bedding.

Here's why:

✅ 1. Naturally anti-dust mite

The structure of wool does not retain dust or moisture. It prevents dust mites from proliferating , as they need a warm, humid environment to survive.

✅ 2. Breathable and thermoregulating

Wool regulates temperature and absorbs moisture without retaining it. This keeps your bed dry and healthy , greatly limiting the growth of mold and bacteria.

✅ 3. No chemical treatment

No need for potentially irritating or polluting chemical anti-mite treatments. Wool works naturally and is gentle on your skin and respiratory system.

✅ 4. Durable and washable

Our wool duvets and pillows can be aired, washed in cold water , and retain their properties for years. Good hygiene, for the long term.

Beware of conventional "anti-mite" treatments

Many synthetic duvets are labeled “ anti-dust mite ” or “ hypoallergenic ”. But in most cases, this means that a chemical treatment has been applied to the fabric or filling:

Permethrins , pyrethroids , biocides …
Sometimes classified as endocrine disruptors
Ineffective in the long term (lose their effect after washing)
Irritants to sensitive respiratory tracts

👉 A bad idea , especially for children, asthmatics or allergy sufferers.

At Lanado, we've made a clear choice: zero processing , zero compromise on health . Just noble, breathable materials, naturally effective.

Tips for caring for your hypoallergenic bedding

Good bedding also means a good care routine . Here are a few simple steps to adopt:

✅ Ventilate regularly

Every morning, 5 to 10 minutes
Windows wide open, even in winter
Air your duvet and pillow in fresh air every week

✅ Expose them to the sun

Wool regenerates naturally in the light
This eliminates moisture and microorganisms.

✅ Wash if necessary, but not too much

Our wool duvets and pillows are washable on a cold , wool cycle.
Use a natural, enzyme-free laundry detergent
Opt for occasional dry cleaning for large items.

For babies and children: even more important

Children are more sensitive to allergens than adults. Their developing immune system is also more fragile. Providing your child with natural, untreated, and breathable bedding means:

Reducing the risk of early allergies
Promote deep and restorative sleep
Avoid exposure to unnecessary chemicals

At Lanado, our wool duvets and pillows are perfectly suited for children from 2 years old, and are designed without any compromise.
