Twin mattresses are ideal for children, teenagers, or if you sleep alone. It is typically 39 inches wide and 74 inches long, but the twin XL variant is a little bit longer at 80 inches. Consider getting one that is made of organic materials especially if you want to improve the quality of your sleep. Here are some reasons why you should choose an organic twin mattress:
- It is safer for you – An organic twin mattress is made of materials that are naturally and organically grown, harvested, cleaned, processed, and crafted to create a high-quality product. Conventional twin mattresses, like the ones that are made of polyurethane foam, may contain toxic flame retardants, which can off-gas and become inhaled or absorbed by your skin, so they end up poisoning your body and causing health problems like reproductive and brain damage, certain types of cancers, and thyroid problems.
- It will not cause allergies – Organic wool is actually hypoallergenic because it is cleaned and processed in a way that does not strip away lanolin, a naturally occurring ingredient in wool that repels dust mites. Hence, you do not have to worry about itching and skin allergies caused by those bugs. Natural Dunlop latex or rubber repels dust mites, too, making it ideal if you have hay fever or eczema.
- It promotes better health and a comfortable sleep – Waking up in your perspiration or feeling too hot or too cold is not the best feeling in the world as it leaves you cranky and uncomfortable. You do not have to experience that any more when you sleep on an organic twin mattress that can effectively regulate your body temperature by promoting good air circulation. It provides an even sleeping surface, too.
