I think that I have to say, "It is not allergen-impermeable" with the recent purchase. I have bought all new bedding stuff. But just once recently. used a 2 year-old anti-allergy quilt for a night, the kid sneezed whole night . What I notice is that the quilt cover I bought a few years ago (2 years ago?) was air-impermeable when it was zipped up and after lots of washing are becoming air-permeable, which means that when I made up the bed the cover was filled with air and I had to let air out gently. The ones I bought recently have the same problem. Also as the quilt is so thin, I have a thought that maybe one day, everything can be made without real material with the helping of some advanced technology.

I dont think so. It is definitely breathable. Feel like cotton but it totally blocks the leakage.

Not that I am aware of. I carry it in my car because in an emergency where it might be life or death, I don't care about allergies.

We have never had water get inside of it and it is plastic, but I don't know if waterproof is the proper term. It is impermeable though.

Well, I would have to say no. It is some type of rubber throughout. (I'm assuming that it is "latex.") On the positive side, I would say that the ball has held up extremely well. I have used it in an elementary school classroom. They (I have 4 of them) have been sat on by some 300 kids and there have been no reported problems with allergies to latex/rubber.

I'm not sure. I haven't had any reaction to the plastic material. You may want to contact the company if you suffer from latex.

It seems to be. I don't remember seeing it written on the packaging but I am not having any problems with it. I wash it occasionally and is still like new I am very pleased with it. I do not have mildew in my house either.

it is sort of a "damp" powder-hard to describe. If I were you I would write the manufacturer and ask your question, as it is a great one and other consumers would benefit from the info. I am not going to say, "oh yeah sure" if I really don't know. good luck.

Yes; the material is like "pleather;" very pleasant to the touch and nonabsorbent. However, I'm using a 2" memory foam pad on top of mine, so spills are a concern with that.

No- the mesh itself is waterproof but not impermeable- rain can get through as well as air. This is actually a good thing because otherwise it would not tolerate strong wind as well as it does. I am very happy with this product for providing shade and plan to purchase another.

I'm not sure, but i don't think its any material that should flare up any allergies. The track pad protector is pretty useless, but the palm rest protector has been awesome. For the prices, it has to have been made in china in my opinion

Yes, it's pretty soft fabric and it is breathable. it says you need to treat it with Scotch brite water repellant every year or two.

It should be (haven't done it yet, but I intend to). Just don't scorch it in a super hot dryer - it is nylon. Material was pretty sturdy.

No, not at all, it is more like poly clay. Being made of paper you would think it would be, it is easy to use and air dries. I love it.

It is fine mesh. I do not know the make up of the mesh. I have a latex allergy and have not had any reaction to this product while using it.

Sorry, don't know. I bought it for a client and he was allergic to the material.
