WHY SLEEP ON AN ORGANIC MATTRESS/TOPPER? In order to answer this question, we need to look at some of the products used to make conventional (NON-ORGANIC) mattresses, and the problems associated with them. The majority of mattresses today are made using a variety of petroleum-based chemicals, foams, plastics and controversial flame-retardants. Research and personal accounts suggest people can in fact become ill by repeated and continuous exposure to the low level of chemicals continuously emitted during the sleep process. The situation is dramatically compounded by the fact that sleeping on a bed places the individual in extremely close proximity to the chemical source (inches compared to feet for most other chemical exposures). This direct contact means that concentrations of chemicals are many, many times higher than they would be if the source was at a greater distance. Research is now available showing that chemicals used in bed manufacturing are in fact evaporating and entering into the air (off-gassing). Some of these are documented carcinogenic and mutagenic compounds. Autoimmune disorders have also been linked with exposure to petroleum-based chemicals and have been found to be the underlying etiology of many common health problems today (soft tissue damage, arthritis, etc). Conventional mattresses contain polyurethane foam, which constantly breaks down and releases chemicals. This process is called “off-gassing”. Polyurethane foam is made from chemicals that are known carcinogens. Other toxic chemicals that can be found in conventional mattresses are PBDEs (polybrominated diphenyl ethers) and/or boric acid. These are used in mattresses as a flame retardant in order to meet the flame retardant codes. Animal studies show that PBDE’s cause liver, thyroid, and neurological damage in lab rats. Health experts worry about most PBDE’s potential harm to fetuses and children under 6, but studies on human toxicity have only just begun. They are believed to be so toxic that Europe is phasing out the use of them completely! Boric acid: this chemical is also quite toxic, and is in fact used as a roach killer. The Environmental Protection Agency and Center for Disease Control warn of reproductive, developmental, and neurological damage. It has many known health risks just due to inhalation, a few of which are: inflammation of the upper respiratory tract (including dry throat and cough), eye irritation, and reproductive damage in men (including low sperm count). WHAT ABOUT MEMORY FOAM MATTRESSES/TOPPERS? Memory foam is made from polyurethane with additional chemicals that add to its viscosity level, thereby increasing its density. It is often referred to as visco-elastic polyurethane foam. The more chemicals used, the “higher the quality” of the product because it becomes more visco-elastic. The smell in memory foam is the off-gassing of toxic chemicals and is noticeably strong (some say it smells like paint). This has been known to cause headaches, upper respiratory problems, and other severe health reactions in people who sleep on them. Additionally, memory foam, like other polyurethane products, can be extremely flammable, so there are high levels of fire-retardants used in these products. You can avoid all these toxins by choosing an ORGANIC & NATURAL mattress/topper. OTHER SIZES ARE AVAILABLE – PLEASE ASK OR SEE OUR OTHER LISTINGS!
