CHICAGO—Protect-A-Bed, a leading provider of bedding protection products that offer consumers a healthy and comfortable sleep environment, announced that the company’s Allerzip Smooth Mattress and Pillow Encasements have achieved the asthma & allergy friendly certification from the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA).
AAFA is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to improving the quality of life for people with asthma and allergic diseases through education, advocacy and research. In 2006, the health experts at AAFA, in partnership with the international research organization Allergy Standards Limited (ASL), developed an independent program to scientifically test and identify consumer products that are more suitable for people with asthma and allergies.
“We’ve always known that our Allerzip Smooth products provide real benefits for people living with allergies and asthma and now we have independent certification to prove it,” said James Bell, CEO of Protect-A-Bed. “The certification process was comprehensive and detailed scientific work, which is a testament to the thoroughness. Consumers can be very confident that the products AAFA certifies are better choices for their families.”
The Allerzip Smooth product line, available in retailers nationwide and online, is the first waterproof mattress and pillow encasement products to achieve the asthma & allergy friendly certification.
“Americans spend over $10 billion each year on non-medical products that they hope will help reduce their exposure to asthma and allergy triggers at home, so they deserve to know which products are the most reliable,” said Mike Tringale, Senior Vice President at AAFA. “Products that have passed our strict scientific testing, like Protect-A-Bed’s Allerzip Smooth line, can be trusted by people with asthma and allergies.”
