Natural Matresses for a healthier You!
October 31st, 2009
Are mattresses healthy? We never ask ourselves this but maybe it’s about time we do.
After receiving delivery of my new Tempurpedic mattress I quickly noticed a horrible smell emitting from it. It’s was offgassing a terrible odor. I quickly decided there was no way I was going to spend a night sleeping on that chemical memory foam mattress. After just 30 minutes in the same room I began experiencing a headache. Even my dog was avoiding the room and I trust is shnoz.
Discovering how many chemicals were found in mattresses blew my mind! Especially memory foam mattresses. Mattresses have chemical glues, fire retardants and their foams are made from petrochemicals. Foams, glues, fire retardant chemicals all off gass, some for years.
I was sold on the comfort of memory foam beds but wanted something that wouldn’t slowly kill me while I slept.
There aren’t too many options when it comes to natural mattresses. Natural latex mattresses and organic cotton mattresses are pretty much the only way to go. Check out latex mattress reviews for more information. Only 1 company makes natural memory foam. Check out their natural mattresses.
Natural mattresses should be a staple in any home. Natural beds should also be kept in mind. Buying a natural mattress and placing it on a bed that’s been varnished with toxic varnish is definitely not the way to go.
Natural latex mattresses and organic mattresses need to be covered in organic fabrics. Bamboo is not good enough. Choose organic only . Make sure it’s certified organic as many organic fabrics. Organic certifications for mattress covers will assure a quality organic mattress cover.
Organic mattresses will help preserve your health for years to come. Next time you’re shopping for a mattress make sure you choose and natural mattress.
