Aisin Seiki Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Kariya City, Aich; President: Fumio Fujimori) bedding and sleeping-environment products brand ASLEEP will release the Aller-Cut Mattress, which protects sleepers from allergens such as those generated by mites and pollen, on March 1, 2013 as part of its J. Concept Series*¹.

The designers of the new Aller-Cut Mattress turned their attention to mites, pollen and other allergen producers that trouble many people in Japan, creating a mattress cover treated with anti-allergenic material so as to minimize the effects of these allergens.
This material absorbs proteins generated by mites and pollen, preventing their spread and cutting allergen amounts by 90% or more*². Like other J. Concept Series products, the mattress cover can be laundered and hung outdoors to dry, so there is no need for concern about hygiene as is sometimes the case with mattresses.
