Sleeping well is vital to good health. We spend one-third of our lives sleeping, and an organic mattress and bedding is an excellent way to ensure that, for at least 8 hours a day, we are free from exposure to the toxic chemical so prevalent in consumer products today.

MATTRESSES: ORGANIC vs MAINSTREAM

Organic mattresses are derived from natural materials. Conventional mattresses are made primarily of man-made materials derived from nonrenewable resources such as natural gas and petrochemicals. Plus, in conventional mattresses, fire retardants and other chemicals are used on cover fabrics and in paddings. Our mattresses are made with naturally flame resistant organic Eco-Wool, which keeps you safe without the use of chemical fire retardants.

WHAT MAKES A BED ORGANIC?

It all begins with natural organic materials that are grown using sustainable agricultural methods.

NATURAL FIBERS: COTTON, RUBBER, WOOL

Wool is warm in winter and cool in summer. It absorbs perspiration, which then evaporates, regulating the sleeper’s body temperature throughout the night for a more restful sleep. Wool is also resilient, durable, and flame, mold and mildew resistant. Certified organic cotton is healthier for the soil, the water, the ecosystem, farm workers, you and your family.

Natural rubber provides a naturally anti-microbial and dust-mite resistant—an excellent choice for  allergy suffers.

All three fibers provide a healthful sleep environment.

Childhood disorders have been rising dramatically. Autism is now striking one in every 250 children. Asthma is affecting one in 20 children. Thirty to forty years ago, these disorders were found in no more than one in ten thousand children. ADD/ADHD, allergies, and even cancer are also on the rise.

BABY MATTRESSES: A SOURCE OF TOXIC CHEMICAL EXPOSURE

Over the last 30+ years, baby mattress materials have been replaced with cheap petroleum-based synthetics. Recent studies have questioned the use of these materials.

Nearly all baby mattresses today contain polyurethane foam, polyvinyl chloride, chemical fire retardants (e.g. antimony, pentaBDE, modacrylic), plasticizers, and an extensive list of added industrial chemicals. Some of these chemicals have been shown to leach out into the surrounding air.
