Consider an Organic Mattress
An important step to improving your lifestyle and well-being is choosing better bedding, starting with the mattress. Consider investing in an organic mattress—a potentially healthier alternative to conventional synthetic foam and box spring mattresses. However, you need to be aware of what is in the mattress and verify that all materials and processes that went into making it are certified organic. Be sure to buy an organic mattress that has met the strict standards of the National Organic Program of the USDA. This way, you can be confident that you are buying an authentic and high-quality mattress that is certified organic from the field to the finished product.
You can be more confident of the quality and the eco-friendly materials in an organic mattress if you get it from an established and reputable store that specializes in carrying only certified organic bedding and products that are made of high-quality natural materials, like Malaysian Dunlop rubber or Natural Sri Lankan latex. More importantly, when shopping for a mattress, visit the retailer’s showroom to personally view their products. That way, you can be sure that you are investing in a healthy mattress that is extremely comfortable, hypoallergenic, and designed to help reduce a myriad of health problems associated with a lousy mattress.
A certified organic mattress is 98% free of harmful and toxic chemicals that can off-gas and enter your body as you breathe or through your skin. PBDE is a flame retardant that is typically added to conventional mattresses. The highly toxic chemical has already been banned in Europe, Canada, and several states in the US. Over time, the chemical can cause respiratory problems and fertility issues, as well as thyroid problems, brain damage, and cancer. We spend about one-third of our life in bed, so the amount of chemicals our mattress can expose us to should matter. Hence, it makes sense to be concerned with the composition of your conventional mattress and make sure that you are getting a mattress that is certified organic.
The benefits of sleeping on an organic mattress are not merely centered around improving your health and well-being. They include ensuring a comfortable and restful slumber, too. Organic mattresses are breathable and maintain a neutral temperature. They provide an even sleeping surface, and some can be customized in a firmness level that meets your desired level of comfort. Mattresses that contain natural wool are naturally flame retardant and hypoallergenic, so they do not have to be doused or treated with toxic chemicals and pesticides.
