Just make sure it is truly airtight. Read the labels on the various types. Maybe do some research online and see which ones are best.
Don't forget to keep your room clean, nothing that can collect dust in your room, no drapes or stuffed animals, carpeting etc...otherwise it's pointless having a mattress cover. You should also have a pillow cover which is probably more important and buy a pillow which is non-allergic as well. And no feathers or down on your bed!!

Try reducing the source...dust mites and the very harmful and potent allergen that dust mites produce, "guanine". A free ebook, authored by Tom Hefter (content can be viewed on website) is available "76 Tips to Reduce Dust Mites and Indoor Allergens" at the link below:

The above info is not intended to replace the services of a professional mattress cleaning service which you, having allergies, truly need. As there are nearly no such services available in the U.S., the info was generated to help those without nearby services. Europe has many many such businesses providing the services as does Australia and even the Far East.
