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.

I'm sorry I don't know the answer to that. It is perforated for breath ability and somewhat soft yet firm and durable. Hope this helps!

Yes, once dry it is impervious to water. However I can't say how it reacts to UV rays.

I am not sure but on their website they describe the material as: 3-D molded thermoplastic elastomer foam, mold-resistant, mildew-resistant, latex-free, non-absorbent. http://www.soft-gear.com/my-deluxe-changing-mat.php#3

It does not advertise that, but based on the material, it should be waterproof. It's not the mesh or fabric that absorbs the moisture.

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.

I don't know. What I found on the internet was mixed, some say it is safe, others warn against using it, and one said it's from a nut tree, so there is the nut allergen consideration.

It is my understanding that silk is naturally resistant to dust mites. Hopefully some others can chime in to verify this. I'm shopping for anti-allergy bedding myself so I'd also like clarification!

Thank you for this. I was wondering, as I have a chemical sensitivity that is not an allergy, and can have severe physical reactions if exposed.

Yes, I feel it is breathable.... It is like a thin terry cloth material on the outside. (Very thin plastic on the inside) We put the fitted sheet over it and its fine!

This backpack is not impermeable... It will be ok to protect it if starts to rain and you arrive fast to a dry place.

It appears to be rubber, but if you need to be sure because of something such as allergy, I'd call the manufacturer.

There was no particular ingredient in it to prevent allergies, if that's what you're asking. Nor was there anything in them to cause allergies. The only thing it says on the package is that it's 'Septic' safe. By that, I think it means that it won't cause clogging. I hope this helps.
