Posted by Bio-Beds Plus on August 26th, 2016

It is a well kept secret that traditional mattresses contain harmful and sometimes toxic chemicals including Antimony, formaldehyde and boric acid. Antimony alloys are also used in batteries, low friction metals, type metal and cable sheathing, Some of these dangerous chemicals are also used in computers, insecticides, ceramics and many other such items so you can see why these toxic materials could be injurious to your health,

In particular, Antimony compounds are used to make flame-proofing materials, paints, ceramicenamels, glass and pottery. Antimony which is often used as a fire retardant in Mattresses can have very negative effects on your health. If you are thinking of purchasing a Natural or an Organic mattress, here are some good reasons why you should do it NOW !

Natural wool is chemical free and eco-friendly

One of the popular options for Natural mattresses is NATURAL WOOL. Because sheep from our sources in the Pacific Northwest are reared in a humane environment, this is a sustainable and environmentally friendly choice. Natural wool is free from pesticides, synthetic chemicals and hormones. Want to have a restful night's sleep ? Natural wool used in Mattresses, Duvets and Futon Mattresses have proved especially useful for people with back pains or those who have trouble sleeping. Wool helps to regulate the sheep’s body temperature, and has the same effect on humans. mattresses which contain wool regulates our temperature keeping us cool in summer and warm in winter.

Organic Cotton Mattresses

Organic cotton is a particularly good material for an Organic mattress largely because of its smooth, luh texture. Organic Cotton mattresses are comfortable and free of dyes and chemicals Organic Cotton is a good choice for people with allergies and respiratory problems because organic cotton is hypoallergenic and not infused with harsh chemicals and toxins. This cotton is derived from plants that are not modified. No toxic fertilizers or pesticides are used.

Natural latex

Contrary to popular belief, latex does not have to be mixed with harmful chemicals. Our Latex comes directly from the sap of the rubber tree and is not diluted with any chemicals. The rubber sap is mixed only with other natural products to produce a Natural latex mattress. Our Organic Latex has the added benefit of using sap from trees grown organically without fertilizers & pesticides.

This type of mattress is also naturally resistant to mold, mildew and dust mites, and requires little maintenance and protection from allergens.

It's worth taking the time to check out the many choices available in both Natural and Organic Mattresses so as to find the best mattress for your specific needs. Remember, you're not only investing in your sleep and overall health, your choice here is of great benefit to both the environment and the carbon footprint e.g. Bio-Beds Plus sources wool from sheep in the Pacific Northwest and so this Natural Wool doesn't have to travel the world to get to Bio-Beds Plus !
