I feel like this cover has helped my dust mite allergies, but I do wish it could be more attractive. I washed and dried it on low as recommended, but it came out looking horrible - so very wrinkly! The up-side is that my tiny kitten can't get his micro-daggers into the fabric. I just wish there were pretty patterns available for dust mite covers, as it would visually help to hide the wrinkles and also, I really miss the beautiful comforter that is now hidden inside the cover.
