I think they can lay their eggs inside the mattress. Those things are very difficult to get rid of, they actually climb under the baseboards and hide in the walls and under carpeting until night time. You might need an exterminator.

lemongrass oil and peppermint oil. Vacuum the bed and the pillow – hot wash the bedding.

Turn your bed upside down and look very carefully for any bed bug “communities” If so, remove them and spray the area thoroughly with the appropriate chemical (ask in the store) or pour boiled water over the suspected areas. If you can’t find the nests anywhere in your room and the bites persist, call in the exterminator, pronto.

sound like dust mites going on… go to home depot look for an sprayer that has to do with beddies and others and kills dust mites or could be scrabes…wash clothes hot water with special detergents then put in dryer high temperature twice to rid of dust mites you cannot really see!
