Materials used in hypoallergenic mattress pads to create a barrier from allergens such as molds, mildews, dusts, and other organisms are: wool, natural latex, and organic cotton. There are many options with different combinations of these materials, the most expensive of which are the thickest and heaviest pads because they are the best equipped to defend against allergens.
