Natural Mattresses Improve Health

Getting a good night’s sleep is really important to your health, we all know that. But did you know that your bed mattress is likely full of toxic materials? Most bedding manufacturers are more interested in dollars and cents than your health. Chemicals are added to make fabric and materials softer and smoother – nice to sleep on, nice to touch, but not so great when you consider that these toxins are what you and your children breathe in on a nightly basis.

Natural mattresses are mattresses made with natural or organic matterials. Though some companies claim that their materials are “natural”, that’s not always the case. Natural latex mattresses do exist, but they are usually in the $1500 dollar range – beyond the price of most consumers. So %100 natural latex mattresses aren’t made by many companies. It’s simply too expensive, in fact, it’s the most expensive material in the bedding industry to make beds with.

Natural memory foam is a very healthy option for natural bedding. Created from rubber tree sap, this non-toxic mattress does not give off chemical gasses or odors. It is extremely breatheable – meaning it airs very well. Best of all, it’s biodegradeable and won’t clog up a landfil for hundreds (or thousands) of years when you are done with it. Affordable, healthy and eco-friendly – who could ask for more?
