New York Fall Market Week once again showcased the latest trends and innovations in home textiles, with a notable emphasis on healthier bedding options this year. As concerns about indoor air quality continue to grow, consumers are becoming more mindful of the products they bring into their homes. Bedding, in particular, can play a critical role in supporting healthier living environments.
Two leaders in this space, and longterm clients of the Asthma & Allergy Friendly® Certification Program, Allied Home and Downlite, were proud participants at the event. Their Certified products have passed stringent testing under the Asthma & Allergy Friendly® Certification Program, ensuring they meet strict standards that help improve indoor air quality. This certification program was developed to assist consumers in identifying products that truly make a difference in their home environments, especially for those with asthma and allergies.
The Asthma & Allergy Friendly® certification is more than just a label—it reflects a commitment to quality and health. In the case of bedding, products must form an effective barrier to allergens like dust mite allergens, which can exacerbate asthma and allergic reactions. Certified products are also tested to ensure that any allergens present can be effectively removed through regular washing. Furthermore, they are tested for chemicals that can cause sensitivities or allergic reactions.
Both Allied Home and Downlite’s bedding lines meet these rigorous standards and support a healthier indoor environment. As more consumers seek ways to enhance their indoor air quality, choosing Certified Asthma & Allergy Friendly® products gives them peace of mind and a healthier home.
