Today,the majority of mattresses are made of synthetic fibers like foam and other materials that are loaded with chemicals. Mattress stuffing like wool or cotton is also processed with chemicals and pesticides, some of which are potentially carcinogenic so they can last a long time with constant use.
Because the average person spends at least one third of the day in bed, the toxicity of mattresses is a growing concern. Organic mattresses may be the answer to this health dilemma.
Unlike decades ago, people now have healthier mattress choices offering environmental and health considerations. In the past, mattress options were restricted to size and firmness. Today, organic options are widely available (albeit tricky to authenticate). Nevertheless, organic mattresses are a big step towards greener and healthier living.
Organic mattresses come in the usual size options. Some even have inner springs in the form of steel coils surrounded by layers of padding, much like traditional mattresses. Others are solid-foam mattresses made of pure latex and other natural materials. When shopping for organic mattresses, here are things you should keep in mind:
- The smell says it all – If you are doubtful about the mattress you bought, the smells that the mattress emits can never lie. Chemical fumes that mattresses emit are the strongest during the first few weeks out of the factory or warehouse. Organic mattresses don’t have this issue. While the amount of fumes people likely inhale is small, constant exposure causes these small amounts to combine, which can lead to many health consequences. With organic mattresses, you don’t ever have to worry about such toxicity.
- Look for credentials – There is good standardization for organic mattresses. When shopping for organic beddings, be sure to check proper and real credentials. Don’t fall so easily for green labels that say natural and environment-friendly.
- You don’t overspend – While it is true that organic mattresses are more costly than traditional mattresses, you don’t break the bank just to afford its benefits. Choose companies that offer superior quality organic king size mattresses at the most reasonable rates. The best companies are those that feature products from trusted manufacturers that are known for their product quality and durability.
