Posted by Sleep & Beyond on December 10th, 2020

Where do you spend half of your 24 hours in a day? Well, most of us often spend our time in our bed. Whether to watch movies, read, relax, over-think, sleep or even eat. And that is why what composes your bed matters as much as what you wear or eat! So, if you are focusing on getting healthier, maybe you should start from your bed!

A well-maintained bed is the first step towards a better living. When you sleep well, you ensure that you wake-up fresh the next morning and start your day with full enthusiasm.

Healthier Bed means Healthier You!

Now, how do you make your bed healthier? You can start by looking at all the materials that make your bed. Think about how certain material affects you? Do you know the fabric you use for your bed can cause certain skin and respiratory reactions? Be it the dyes, the chemicals, or the pesticides that you have been sleeping with. They could be giving you discomfort rather than a peaceful sleep. And you could be harming the environment unknowingly for so many years.

Now, categorize your bed into different parts:

Duvet/comforter: All of us love our Duvet/Comforter; we love to cover ourselves with it as long as we can and that makes our interaction time higher. But what if I tell you that it is harmful to you? You should consider fixing it. The best way is to use a cover that is chemical-free. Consider using Organic Duvet covers which not only feels softer, but will give no skin or respiratory issues, and let you live guilt-free when it comes to your conscience concerning the environment.

Mattress: Where you rest your back matters. It is for your relaxation. And that is why you need to pay attention to it. There are ways to make it healthier and more comfortable. One way is to go Organic. Switching to Organic Mattress Topper will give you better motion isolation and natural temperature regulation. It will save you from harmful chemicals, emissions, and will last longer. Also, saving the planet starts from there only. 

Pillows and Sheets: They may look like luxurious add-ons for your bed, but they are as essential as the other materials, especially when they are in direct contact with your body and face. Imagine exposing your face to harmful dyes and chemicals every night or putting your body at the risk of getting rashes or allergies. They also contribute heavily to your carbon footprints as they are changed most frequently than the rest of your bed materials. So if your conscience is now telling you to go for an Organic pillows and Organic sheets, you should follow it. Because you deserve to be healthy and they play a big role in your health!
