AllergyCare™ Cotton Allergen Barrier Pillow Protector

Breathe easier with the Bargoose AllergyCare® 100% Cotton Zippered Pillow Protector, a soft, breathable allergen barrier that helps block common bedroom allergens without any coatings or laminates. Woven from tightly constructed 280-thread-count cotton, this quiet, coating-free encasement fully zips around your pillow to reduce contact with dust mites, pollen, and pet dander while staying cool and comfortable against the skin.

Why 100% cotton? Many allergen protectors rely on a plastic membrane or chemical coating that traps heat and feels crinkly. AllergyCare® blocks allergens through the weave of the fabric itself, so you get barrier protection with the natural softness and airflow of pure cotton, and nothing laminated to the back.

Key features

• 100% cotton allergen barrier: Tightly woven 280-thread-count cotton helps block dust mite particles, pollen, and pet dander.
• Coating-free and breathable: No laminates, membranes, or chemical treatments, so the cover stays cool and quiet.
• Full zippered encasement: Secure zip closure fully surrounds the pillow to keep allergens out.
• Soft and quiet: A natural cotton surface with no plastic crinkle.
• Machine washable: Built to withstand repeated hot washing, including allergy-control laundering.
• Lifetime limited warranty.

Independent pore-size testing

Independent capillary-flow analysis by Porous Measurement Int'l Group (August 2025) measured a mean flow pore diameter of 4.62 microns on the AllergyCare® 100% cotton fabric. This confirms the tight weave that forms a physical barrier to dust mite particles, pollen, and pet dander, while the cotton construction keeps the fabric breathable.
