Due to the current pandemic situation and growing need for a healthy and hygienic sleep environment, BEDGEAR specifically engineered the GermShield™ Mattress and Pillow Cover Set to be a first line of defense to keep sleepers clean and healthy. However, it is also an allergen barrier to enhance long-term protection, adding post-pandemic benefits for the consumers.

GermShield™ Mattress and Pillow Cover Set includes mattress and pillow covers that incorporate a lab-tested antimicrobial treatment to actively protect the fabric against 99% of certain germs, bacteria, microbes and odor. This gives consumers a peace of mind knowing they are sleeping on a bedding surface that inhibits spreading of germs and bacteria, ensuring safety for the sleeper, especially for couples.
