Yes. They are tiny bugs that you can see. I have had furniture before that, for some reason, makes me start to itch. Although I had the furniture for years, all of the sudden I start itching. After getting rid of that piece alone, the problem was solved. You could have spiders or other summer bugs biting you. Check for bedbugs. You do not want them to spread.

Yes make sure you vaccume your mattress and sofa to get rid of bedbugs.
Yes, it could be bed bugs, or some wort of mites – I have had this problem myself. Try to find a hardware shop and get some spray for it (something that will kill bed bugs, mites, fleas etc). Get a couple of cans so you dont run out. Take all your bed clothes off and wash at a high temperature, then spray the bed well (make sure you leave the windows open), as well as the skirting on the wall behind the bed, under the bed, the bed frame and around the bed. You can also spray other areas, for example carpets and sofa if you think this may also have bugs.
Leave it for a while (with the windows open) and then remake the bed with the clean sheets.
Try not to hoover for a while afterwards as the spray will need some time to kill the live bugs and also those emerging from eggs.
