Hey, that sounds good to me! Anything that takes away one more chore from my day is always welcome. 
I guess I'll just have to close the door so I don't see the unmade bed; I do like my space to be neat and orderly, but if it will help to eliminate these guys, then, by all means, the bed will NOT be made!

I do vacuum my mattress once a month which sucks out any mites and also dead skin that gets through the sheets. Probably should be done more often, but not enough time in my busy schedule.
We used this as a selling point when, way back years ago, I sold Kirby vacuum cleaners. Nothing like showing these critters in your bed and how ONLY the Kirby had enough power to suck them out, to make a quick sale.
Here's to future nights of sleeping with less bugs in your bed.

Scientists are now recommending an easy and effective way to cut down on the number of dust mites in your bed; simply leave it unmade. Dr. Stephen Pretlove spoke to the BBC and explained: “We know that mites can only survive by taking in water from the atmosphere using small glands on the outside of their body. Something as simple as leaving a bed unmade during the day can remove moisture from the sheets and mattress so the mites will dehydrate and eventually die.” Less dust mites can lead to better health since they often cause allergies and asthma from which many people suffer nowadays. Plus, who wants to share their bed, a place of coziness and warmth, with millions of freaky little bugs?
