More and more people are looking into getting an organic mattress to replace their old one. What are the benefits of using an organic mattress? Well, probably the number one benefit is the fact that they are chemical free! Organic mattresses are made from all natural materials such as cotton, wool, and natural rubber latex. When you figure that you spend roughly one third of your life in bed, think of the chemical exposure you have from using a synthetic mattress!
Not only do synthetic mattresses create unwanted exposure to chemicals, they can also contribute to the increase in allergies and asthma in children and adults. Exposure to chemicals can create these allergies. Think about it, we have a higher allergy and asthma rate today than ever before. Back in the day, people had bedding that was made from 100% natural materials. Most of the time they made this bedding themselves, using wool, feathers, and cotton from their own farms. They even resorted to stuffing mattresses with straw! But they didn’t seem to have the allergy problems we face today. There is something to be said about using the materials that are naturally grown.
Not only do organic materials help to prevent exposure to chemicals, they can actually help you sleep better! Because natural materials such as cotton and wool breathe, you will stay warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer. No more waking up at night because you are overheated – the natural fibers will help to wick away moisture so you will sleep more comfortably.
You can find organic bedding from crib size to king size so the whole family can have a restful nights sleep! We will focus on organic mattresses in this article. First of all we will look at mattresses for the little ones. By using organic bedding while children are infants, you can help to prevent their exposure to potential allergens and help them to have a healthier start in life.
This first mattress is a great choice because it grows with your child. The Naturepedic Organic Cotton 2-in-1 Ultra Crib Mattress, is perfect for use in a crib and a toddler bed. The infant side features a luxurious organic cotton cover with an easy-to-clean 100% polyethylene waterproof coating so pure that it meets food contact standards. The toddler side features a luxuriously quilted organic cotton cover. This mattress is made from 100% organic cotton with no latex or wool.
You can also find the same mattress in a twin size. The Naturepedic 2 in 1 Organic Mattress Combo-Twin has the firmer, waterproof side and the more luxurious soft side. This mattress is recommended by the ‘Healthy Child, Healthy World’ standards and meets the strictest GREENGUARD certification standards for eliminating toxic chemical emissions.
Finally we will look at a queen size version of an organic mattress. The Naturepedic Organic Queen Size Mattress Quilted is constructed much like the mattresses above – without the waterproofing. It has a luxuriously quilted organic cotton cover and U.S. grown certified organic cotton filling.
We have highlighted just a few of the organic mattresses available on the market today. As we become more and more aware of the damage caused by chemical exposure in our lives we can expect to see more organic bedding become available.
