Organic Mattresses
Are there toxins and chemicals lurking under your covers?
Chances are if you’re sleeping on a conventional mattress, there are.
According to the Environmental Working Group, polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), are found in a variety of everyday products used in the home, including mattresses.
“Continuous leaks to PBDEs may feign human health at risk, particularly to infants and toddlers who are more likely to ingest household dust or get these chemicals through mother’s milk,” said Margarita Curras-Collazo, an associate professor of cell biology and neuroscience in an article for Science Today at the University of California.
This is actually the stuff of nightmares, rather than pleasant dreams. For this reason and to decrease their environmental impact, people choose natural bedding, such as an organic mattress.
Types of Organic Mattresses
There are three main types of environmentally friendly types of materials used in organic mattresses: -
“Whenever practicable, use bedding made from organic cotton, wool, and natural latex mattresses,” says sleep and dream specialist Rubin Naiman, Ph.D.
Organic Latex Mattresses – Made from the sap collected for a year or longer from rubber trees, organic latex is chemical-free and is a renewable resource. An organic latex mattress is a body-conforming, making it denser than innerspring construction.
Organic Cotton Mattresses – Grown and processed without the use of fungicides, herbicides, and insecticides, organic cotton mattresses can improve the indoor quality of air in your home because they don’t emit harmful chemicals.
Organic Wool Mattresses – Organic wool wicks away moisture like a sponge and absorbs humidity, utilized for a dry sleeping experience. It also contains a natural substance, called lanolin which helps to prevent dust mites from settling inside the mattress. Organic wool is manufactured without the use of pesticides, unlike conventional wool manufacturing production, which uses chemicals in animal feed and pesticides in the pastures where animals roam.
The Organic Mattress Difference
The gains of sleeping on an organic mattress are plenty.
Here are just a few:
Why Purchase only an Organic Mattress?
An organic mattress gives a healthier alternative to a traditional synthetic mattress. Most traditional mattresses contain polyurethane, which is a petroleum-based substance that emits chemical fumes that may lead to symptoms of allergies, skin irritations, and respiratory problems, such as asthma.
In addition to traditional synthetic mattresses, traditional pillows and blankets are often treated with other chemicals designed to repel wrinkles, water, and stains.
Further, one’s bed is the place where one’s body and mind are reinvigorated through sleep.
When challenged by an obstacle of a mattress that is chock-full of man-made synthetic materials, some of which may be potentially toxic, getting the type of rejuvenating quality sleep that you need may be more difficult and this is if you are healthy in case if you are someone who is suffering from a serious chronic illness, then quality sleep is perhaps even more important for deep healing.
