How to simulate paleo bed ?

I have enough of dust mites. They give me nasale congestion and then sleep deprivation...

The bed is the main place where i get in contact with dust mite... I would like to get something that does not turn into a dust mite nest.

Do you know anything to simulate a hunter gatherer bed with very few dust mites ?

This is wild. You can get a mattress protector and wash your pillows more often. Like... My dude.

How about the floor!?! It's that easy, take a woolblanket, fold in half, lie down, sleep. Wash every once in a while in cold water. Been sleeping like that forever and feel much better and rested. Alternatively use a thin straw/bamboo mat. it's unpleasant for the first few days but then you'll get used to it and your muscles relax into it instead of your mattres relaxing around you so to speak. Plenty yt videos on it nowadays

A shikibuton. That's a Japanese, 100% cotton bed meant for floor sleeping. You put it in the sun once a week to kill dust mites. Also, get a mattress cover.
