Should I Buy Organic Mattress?

Many inquiries have been raised in regards to using organic mattress than the usual synthetic mattress. In fact, many among us have finally realized the danger of using synthetic mattress since it contains chemical substances that are hazardous to both adults and babies. Unfortunately, there are no rules being regulated to address this issue correctly and at this point of time, the only rule that has been implemented is the banning of using phthlates in the production of synthetic mattress. You may check out more about this in my previous post Organic Mattress in California.

As I have previously mentioned, there are just so many pros and cons on using either the organic mattress or the synthetic version. Some might say that they have been sleeping on synthetic mattress for many years and yet to suffer from any sort of diseases. The question is, if there are options, would you consider buying a good-for-health mattress? Of course, you would. In order to buy one, you should first ask yourself whether it is going to be a good investment or not. Buying a mattress is not like buying candies where you can buy them anytime anywhere. Buying an organic mattress is an investment that should take enough consideration and full study about the advantages of using it.

What is organic mattress by the way? In simpler words, organic mattress is a chemical-free mattress. The mattress is made from organic materials such as wool or natural cotton. The mattress should not contain any synthetic-made or lab-made substances typically used to produce traditional mattress. You might not aware that traditional synthetic mattress is dangerous to your health since it is made from synthetic polyurethane foam that could provoke serious allergic reaction. If you suffer from asthma or any breathing-related diseases, I recommend you to buy organic mattress as it is good for your health. If any of your family member suffers from the same disease or related, then you should consider buying organic products apart from mattress; including the beddings.

Organic mattresses are traditionally made from imported wools or selected natural cotton and they are environmentally friendly. Wool, for instance, has the capability to absorb moisture and therefore your mattress stays dry all the time. Kids and babies could suffer from serious allergy situations as well as asthma, thus the use of organic mattress can help to prevent these diseases at earlier stage.

Now why do they use natural wool in producing organic mattresses? Natural wool has the tendency to absorb liquid or moist at a high rate and therefore they will keep your mattress dry all the time. Natural wool is also dust mite resistant and therefore it helps to reduce itching and skin irritation while lying on the bed. In short, using an organic mattress that is good for your health, comfortable to sleep on, as well as environmentally friendly is definitely a good investment thus producing a healthy and happy family.

So where you can look for an organic mattress? If you are in Pennsylvania, then I consider you to be lucky enough to have a mattress store that is selling a wide collection of organic mattresses. There is a shop called Organic Mattress Store which claimed to have produced 100% certified organic cotton ticking for their mattresses. They also claimed that they have 100% pure natural wool imported from North California, S.W. Oregon, France, or from Texel in Holland. The Organic Mattress Store also claimed that their mattresses are handmade by their skilled craftsmen and therefore you should expect to see a well-made mattress. It might be hard to choose a mattress once you are there at the store but keep in mind that what you are looking for is not the price of the mattress but rather the advantages of the mattress will bring to you and your family. Don’t bother too much about the price though organic mattresses tend to have higher price than the usual synthetic mattress.

If you are buying for your baby, then let’s take a look at one of their organic mattress for baby. The Organic Mattress Store has a baby mattress that has an innerspring core that is covered with layers of tufted organic cotton pads. The layers are then covered with quilted organic cotton and pure natural wool. The last layer for the mattress is of course the certified organic cotton fabric. In other words, this mattress is definitely a smart choice since it is safe for your baby and reduces the possibility of getting asthma or any other breathing-related diseases.

It may costs you about $400 to get one of these organic mattresses but as I said earlier, it is a good investment for your baby’s future. They are going to spend hours and years on the mattress and therefore I hope you could think wisely about this. The organic mattress is free from any chemical substances and therefore encourages better health. They don’t contained any fire retardant that usually found in usual synthetic-made mattresses. If you buy their mattresses online, then the prices should include the shipping fees as well.

In Pennsylvania, there is also another center that also has a range of products including organic mattresses. It is called Health First Center which is located at Liberty Boulevard, Malvern. The best part is since it is a health center, you should expect to see other health products and services at the center. Reviews from people who have been there claimed that the therapists there are helpful and they could help you to choose the right product, not the most expensive product.

Remember, when buying an organic mattress, what really matters is how well the mattress could help to improve your health or at least you feel comfort while lying on the mattress. Don’t be too paranoid about the diseases caused by synthetic mattresses and fall trap into buying an expensive organic mattress. There are many ways of reducing the impact of usual standard mattress apart from buying an organic mattress. If you really think you should get one, get to know about the materials used in producing an organic mattress so you will gain more knowledge about the mattress. Once you know at what point that would make a mattress an organic one, you will then be able to choose a comfort and good-for-health organic mattress.
