Most people do not notice it but the mattress plays a very important role in your house. The mattress is the only thing you seek at the end of each work and stress filled day and in the morning, you do not want to leave the comforts of your mattress either. We spend an average of 8 hours a night sleeping (not true for all though) so that equates using the mattress for about a third of your entire life.
This is why we need to pud utmost importance and the most careful considerations when buying a mattress. There are so many guidelines you need to follow such as its comfort level, the support it can provide, its durability and strength and of course, many people prefer their mattresses to be ergonomically correct. But did you know your mattress needs to be eco friendly too?
Natural Organic Mattress
What exactly is an eco friendly mattress? How are we going to know if the mattress we are going to buy is eco friendly? Do not fret, it will only add wrinkles to your face. Instead, read this article that aims to give you information on eco friendly mattresses.
What makes an eco friendly mattress?
Well, basically, an eco friendly mattress uses organic materials such as natural wool and organic cotton. It avoids the chemicals used in standard mattresses such as petrochemicals and volatile organic compounds (VOC's) which are leading causes why we develop allergic reactions while lying on the mattress. See, it's not just the bed bugs and the dust mites who are to blame.
In order to give you a better picture of these petroleum and volatile organic compounds or VOC's, these are actually the same compounds used for house paints and the like. Now do you see how dangerous it is to your health? You can just imagine lying on these chemicals for one third of your life. Not a very pretty sight right?
How should you choose an eco friendly mattress?
If you are buying a latex mattress, look for one that says it contains at least 97 percent natural rubber tapped from trees Always check the mattress if it is really organic; some manufacturers tend to fool the consumers into buying their standard chemical-ridden mattresses by placing them inside organic outer pads, disguising them as organic mattresses altogether Choose an eco friendly mattress and make sure its frame is certified by the Forest Stewardship Council, which ensures that the wood itself was also not treated with chemicals Avoid mattresses that contain polybrominated diphenyl ethers or PBDEs. These are typically found in mattresses that claim to stop fire from spreading. While it lessens the risk of putting you on fire, it also heightens the risk of you having cancer If you really want a mattress that will protect you from fire, choose an all organic wool mattress If you are looking for an innerspring mattress, look for one that has recycle steel for its coils and springs Ask the salesperson whether the mattress is biodegradable. If he says no, don't buy it. True eco friendly mattresses are only made of organic materials, which we all know, are completely biodegradable Aside from the typical natural cotton, latex and organic wool, manufacturers of eco friendly mattresses have also introduced the usage of bamboo (which is hypoallergenic and anti-microbial), hemp (which provides superior strength and firmness) as well as soy beans (which guarantee the sleeper a comfortable night) Always make sure that you are buying a mattress which is a hundred percent natural. There are many brands that try to sell mattresses which they claim are eco friendly but in reality are not Ask the salesperson about the warranty. Most eco friendly mattresses tend to be more expensive than ordinary mattresses so you better be sure that your eco friendly mattress is going to last a long time Do a research about companies that offer 100 percent organic mattresses. If possible, order directly from them on their websites. It's better to pay more for a good quality mattress than pay a little less at the store for a rip off If you already bought a mattress and it certainly is not organic, it may be difficult for you to waste all that money and buy a new one again. Don't do that if money is tight. Instead, buy organic mattress toppers. This way, you will be sure that what you are lying on is free from harmful chemicals
