This company sells pillow and mattress covers which supposedly keep the dust
mites and their fecal products (much smaller, and the source of the allergen,
as I understand it) from penetrating the bedding:

Allergy Control Products

Ridgefield, CT

800 422-3878

Anyone used these products?

PS: Thanks to Terry Brennan, years ago I figured out I probably was allergic
to dust mite Poop when I told him that I had lowered the RH in my home over the
winter (from 55% to 40%) by running my HRV more, and I did't get a single sinus
infection!
