Can you get anti-allergy bedlinen in Oz?
Calling all Aussie-based expats with allergies!
I have chronic night-time asthma & have alleviated it to date with special anti-allergy pillow & mattress covers.
Didn't notice these on sale in Melbourne, so have been planning to raid John Lewis' sale before we go & stock up.
However, I bet they *do* sell them, somewhere over there - can anyone tell me where - and how much?
TIA!

Many thanks - I just searched their site and got these prices, in case anyone else is interested:
Allersearch Dac Anti Allergy Pillowcases - $26.5 each (~8-9 quid in UK)
Allersearch Dac Anti Allergy mattress cover, queen (ie UK king) $179.95 (?? in UK)
Allersearch Dac Anti Allergy mattress cover, UK double $159.95 (~50-60 quid in UK).
So the UK RRP is slightly cheaper, & it's deffo worth checking them out in this week's sales!
Thanks again.
Anya.

Pretty sure you can buy hypoallergenic stuff at K-Mart. My mother sneezed and gagged over half the stuff out there and I'm certain she got her linen from plain old K-Mart.

Yep Kmart sell the whole range. Pillow covers, mattress covers etc. Wait until they have a Manchester sale and you can get another 25% off the prices!

A bit off the beaten track here, but referring back to your asthma. Have you considered seeing a homeopath about it. My wife had a similar problem and had to take her inhaler every night, after seeing her Homeopath, she rarely needs to use it at all. Once a week at the most. it doesn't work for everyone but just an idea.

I'm usually free of it once I'm out of the dustbowl of East Anglia (known as a bad asthma area in any case) so I'm hoping I've just wasted a large sum of money on allergy-free bedlinen :scared:
Better to be prepared though....
