Complete Mattress Protection for a Cleaner, Healthier Sleep Environment
If you suffer from allergies, asthma, eczema, or sensitive skin, reducing your exposure to dust mites and other common allergens while you sleep can make a meaningful difference in your comfort.
The AllergyCare™ Organic Cotton Mattress Encasement completely surrounds your mattress with a secure zipper, creating a breathable barrier against dust mites, pet dander, pollen, and other common household allergens. Made from 100% certified organic cotton, it provides complete mattress protection without vinyl, plastic, waterproof membranes, or added chemicals.
Why You'll Love It
- Complete zippered protection against dust mites and common allergens
- 100% certified organic cotton that's soft, breathable, and gentle on sensitive skin
- Lab-tested 5.9 micron pore size helps block dust mites and pet dander
- Quiet, chemical-free comfort with no vinyl or waterproof membrane
Why Choose a Mattress Encasement?
Unlike a fitted mattress protector, a mattress encasement completely surrounds your mattress with a zipper, creating 360° protection from dust mites and allergens that can accumulate inside your mattress over time.
For families managing allergies, asthma, or eczema, a mattress encasement is often recommended as part of creating a healthier sleep environment. Once installed, simply place your mattress pad (if you use one) and fitted sheet over top for everyday comfort.
Lab-Tested Dust Mite Protection
The AllergyCare™ Organic Cotton Mattress Encasement is woven from 100% certified organic cotton with a 233 thread count and an average pore size of just 5.9 microns.
This precision weave creates a physical barrier that helps reduce exposure to:
- Dust mites
- Pet dander
- Pollen
- Mold spores
- Other common household allergens
Protection comes from the fabric itself, not chemical treatments or coatings.
Why Organic Cotton?
People with eczema and sensitive skin often prefer natural, breathable fabrics next to their skin. This certified organic cotton mattress encasement is:
- Soft and breathable
- Naturally comfortable for year-round sleep
- Free from added chemical treatments
- Latex free
- Quiet with no crinkly plastic layers
- Made from responsibly sourced certified organic cotton
The breathable cotton fabric allows air to circulate naturally, helping you sleep cooler and more comfortably than many waterproof mattress protectors.
Durable Protection That Lasts
Designed for everyday use, the AllergyCare™ Mattress Encasement features:
- Heavy-Duty Nylon Zipper - Fully encloses the mattress for complete protection.
- Reinforced Double-Stitched Seams - Built for long-lasting durability with more than 12 stitches per inch.
- Oversized for the Perfect Fit - The encasement is intentionally made slightly larger and will naturally shrink to its proper fit after the first wash and dry cycle.
- Limited Lifetime Warranty - Made in the USA and backed by Bargoose's Limited Lifetime Warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to wash the mattress encasement before using it?
No. Because the organic cotton is not treated with added chemicals, washing before first use is optional. The encasement is intentionally oversized and will shrink to its proper fit after the first wash and dry cycle.
How often should I wash the mattress encasement?
Because the encasement is covered by your mattress pad and fitted sheet, most people only need to wash it once or twice a year. Your sheets should continue to be washed regularly.
Can a mattress encasement help with allergies?
Yes. A mattress encasement helps reduce exposure to dust mites, pet dander, pollen, and other common allergens by creating a protective barrier around your mattress.
Can a mattress encasement help eczema?
While it does not treat eczema, reducing exposure to dust mites and other allergens may help some people who experience allergy-related eczema flare-ups. Many families also choose organic cotton because it is soft, breathable, and gentle on sensitive skin.
Does the encasement need to fit tightly?
No. A slightly relaxed fit is recommended. This helps reduce stress on the zipper and seams while allowing the fabric to move naturally with your mattress.
Where should I place my mattress pad?
For maximum allergen protection, place the mattress encasement directly on the mattress. If you use a mattress pad, place it over the encasement and under your fitted sheet.
Is this mattress encasement waterproof?
No. This encasement is designed for breathable allergen protection rather than waterproof protection.
