Why Should I Buy an Organic Mattress and Organic Bedding? Is it Really Worth It…

There is as much debate in the world of mattresses and bedding as there is in the food industry about going organic. Organic means the same thing in mattresses and bedding as it does in food - no pesticides, no harmful chemicals, and only natural fertilizers, sheep fed with only simple grass, processed without toxic substances, and using only plant-based sealing materials. These are all mandatory qualifications for the elements used in organically sourced and manufactured sleep materials.

An organic mattress or mattress topper will contain organic wool, organic cotton, and organic latex. The math is as simple as it is with food; fewer chemicals mean a more natural and healthy product. Almost all mattresses are made by means of machines. The manufacturers of organic mattresses do not use toxic glue or toxic sealants. The latex and foams used are all plant-based. A mattress like the White Night Organic Mattress by Innomax is sustainable, hypoallergenic, and biodegradable. A traditional mattress could take hundreds of years to leave the earth, only worsening our landfill problems.

Another great reason to buy organic mattresses is that they carry no Volatile Organic Compounds, (VOC chemicals) which reduces the risk of skin irritation, allergic reactions, and breathing difficulties. Organic mattresses and toppers like Sleep & Beyond’s Certified Organic Mattress Topper filled with organic Merino Wool keep sustainable and certified organic manufacturing processes at the forefront of their mission. All Sleep & Beyond products are certified organic according to Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) by Control Union, one of the oldest and most reputable certification agencies.

What’s even more important than the bed we sleep on is the bedding we sleep in! Our bodies, skin, faces, noses all come in contact with sheets, pillowcases, and comforters every day for 8 hours plus.

Organic bedding will not be processed via sizing. Sizing is a process by which a plastic-based chemical is used to enhance durability of clothing and is used by nearly every traditional manufacturer of bedding. As defined, "Sizing is used in papermaking and textile manufacturing to change the absorption and wear characteristics of those materials." Sizing, in the traditional fabric world, simply means, to add a substance.

Minimal processing, no chemical residue, sustainable and natural fabrics all make for a more comfortable, healthier rest. Like in this CertifiedOrganic Merino Wool Comforter by Sleep and Beyond. Naturally hypoallergenic, flame retardant, resistant to dust mites, mold and mildew this comforter is great all-year round providing exceptional comfort in any temperature and especially recommended for people with arthritis, rheumatism, and back pains. Plus the wool out performs other fibers used for bedding!

As humans, we spend an entire one-third of our lives in our beds. A bed made from good things, sans bad things, is great for mind, body, and spirit. A sleep free of chemical inhalation is as vital as consuming food that is chemical free.

An organic mattress has a longer life than the traditional brands as the natural products involved in the making keep bacteria at bay, truly by their nature. The same goes for the bedding. Organic bedding, bamboo and cotton alike, will last longer because they have been minimally processed. They are softer to the touch and provide dreamy comfort. Investing in a certified organic mattress and bedding is like investing in a car as you want comfort, reliability, and safety for yourself and your family.
