How did you interpret the title of this post? I presumed (correctly) that you were thinking that the mattress that I am going to tell you in this article is containing natural materials; organic cotton and organic wool. Unfortunately, that is not the case here. This is exactly how some mattress companies play with the words and the structure of their sales pitches. In marketing world, words are wisdom and they can be manipulated; twisted and turned to hypnotize you into thinking what you are thinking. To some extent, some geniuses may be able to perform “make-believe” miracles such as turning a gas stove into a refrigerator. That is how marketing works. That is how you would believe that an organic cotton and wool mattress is a 100% orgnaic mattress.
Read again the title and tell me what you think. Got it? If you still can’t get the “actual” picture here, it is all right. I won’t blame you. These days we are so used to see thousands of ads everyday; newspapers, TVs, magazines, stores, hypermarkets, Walmart, and almost everywhere. It is easy to be misled by these types of ads and sometimes we just laughed at how idiot we were when we first read the lines. We didn’t read in between the lines. Our brain is a complex organ yet a stupid one unless we train it to be able to interpret one simple phrase into several meanings.
Whenever you go to a mattress stor and the sales rep told you that their mattresses are made from “organic cotton and wool”, you should be very wary about it. Ask him again; is the mattress made from “organic cotton” and “organic wool”? If he startled a bit (the trick didn’t work), then most probably the mattress he showed is not a 100% natural organic mattress. You have just been tricked into believing that the mattress is totally a organic mattress. This trick is commonly used since it works almost all the time. Why does it work? Because the moment someone said “organic”, your brain picked up that word and interpreted the whole phrase as one; therefor you would believe that the mattress is made from both organic cotton and organic wool.
So how to recognize or identify which mattress is a total 100% natural organic mattress? In my last post, I mentioned about NAOMI, an association that put up some standards to certify a mattress as organic. However, as far as I am concerned, the mattres association has not yet received any recognition from the whole industry that produce natural organic mattress. In other words, the standards produced were more like a self-proclaimed statement by certain companies to create hypes that their mattresses are the only certified organic mattresses. Well, I don’t want to go details about that so I leave that to the experts to decide. However, the standards produced by the so-called association can still be used to get the basic idea to decide whether the mattress is “natural” enough for you or for your kisd. You can visit my post here at Natural Organic Mattress.
Some of the standards listed described what type of wools can be called organic wool. Organic wool should be free from any chemical substances. Chemical-free means the wool should be obtained in an environment that is free from any chemical usage such as the foods given to the sheep (there have to be organic food), the process taken to garnet and card the wool, and so on. If any of these standards are not followed, then the wools produced are no longer 100% organic. But hell, we have been already living in a world full of chemicals (cars’ smokes for instance), why can’t we live with a 90% to 95% organic wool? We may not get the purest but as long as we know that the materials are made from controlled environment, that should be fine. To me, at least.
Wool is used in mattress production due to the fact that it is a plushy material. Plushy means comfort and comfort means you will get a good night sleep. A good nite sleep then means you will wake up from your bed feeling good and fresh like a princess. Or a prince, if you are a guy lol. That is why wool has been used in producing mattresses for years and since now we know the importance of using organic materials for better helath, organic mattress manufacturers have taken efforts to ensure all the materials used are at least 90% to 95% organic.
We all know for fact that kids are exposed to all sorts of threats every day. We do our best to avoid and to prevent bad things from happening to them. Asthma is one of those threats. Can we avoid our kids from getting asthma? Yes, we can but there are no guarantees to that. What we can do though is we have to do our best to avoid using allergenic items around our house. Stop feeding our kids with allergenic foods. Start using organic mattress for our kids.
Another good thing about using wools in producing organic mattress is its ability to insulate where then your body can naturally regulate your body temperature during the nights. You won’t feel hot or cold spots when sleeping and therefore you are less than likely to turn and toss on your bed. In short, you will be sleeping more comfortably on organic mattress than the regular comfort mattress.
How do we avoid our mattress from breeding dust mites? It will cost you a lot to buy repellants to repel dust mites. By the way repellants got chemicals in them and therefore they just defeat our intention to not using inorganic materials in our house. This is where organic mattress gains more popularity than standard mattress. Why? It is because of the wool. From what I have learned, each strand of woll has a coating of lanolin (wool wax or fat) that help to repel dust mites. This is due to the fact that each wool’s strand create a dreary environment that make it impossible for dust mites to settle in. As you know, mites only live in a damp environment. So they just can’t stand the dryness.
I believe so far we have covered few things that you should know before making an informed decision to get yourself a natural organic mattress. There are still few things we need to cover and we will do that in our next discussion.

Natural Organic Mattress
What actually defines an organic mattress? Does it have to be made from totally 100% organic materials to be qualified as an organic mattress? Well, when the term organic mattress was first coined, no one actually able to define the mattress whether it is an organic product or not. We can’t simply define the product by following each of its words’ definitions. It is hard actually to fully understand the concept behind organic mattress. Since people these days are aware of the importance of living in a healthy environment including sleeping on an organic mattress, an association was established to help in defining what is considered as organic mattress and later when the association has been recognized by the country, any organic mattress produced have to follow the guidelines provided by them to be qualified as organic mattress.
The association is commonly known as NAOMI. “NAOMI” is actually an acronym for National Association of Organic Mattress Industry. All mattress manufacturers that are the members of Naomi organization should comply with Naomi’s standard to produce organic mattresses. So far there are eleven guidelines laid down by the National Association of Organic Mattress Industry (NAOMI) for a mattress to be certified by the organization as organic. If any of these guidelines is not followed, then the mattress is considered as “normal mattress” and cannot be called organic mattress. This is where the term "Naomi organic mattress" being coined to differentiate the differences between certified organic mattress and none certified organic matterss.
Guidelines to Qualify an Organic Mattress as an Organic Product
The first thing that a mattress manufacturer should ensure is the mattress has to be free from any synthetic fabrics or fibers. To understand what synthetic fabrics are we should first understand what synthetic fibers are. Synthetic fibers are normally produced from synthetic materials such as petrochemicals. There are also synthetic fibers that are manufactured from natural cellulose such as rayon, nylon, polyester, and zylon. Therefore we can define synthetic fabrics as fabrics that are made from synthetic fibers. To process the synthetic fibers to be available as fabrics, more chemicals are added and therefore the end products contain more chemicals. In other words, any organic mattress to be certified as “organic mattress” should be free from these types of fabrics and fibers.
The second guideline is related to the first guideline where if fabric is used to manufacture the mattress, the fabric used cannot be treated with any sort of toxic chemicals. Chemicals such as “phlates” which I have many times explained in previous posts are chemicals that are toxic and dangerous to health and therefore cannot be used in producing organic mattress. Some companies may claim that the chemicals that they used in organic mattress production are “good” chemicals and not that toxic since they were classified by scientists as low-level chemicals. If you heard such claims, you should avoid from buying that so-called “organic mattress” as the National Association of Organic Mattress Industry has clearly said that none of toxic chemicals should be used in treating the fabrics used to produce organic mattress.
If the organic mattresses produces are using wools, then the organization has outlined another rule to qualify a mattress as organic where the wools should always be from sheep that are have been raised organically. The sheep are not supposed to be fed with chemical-made foods they are breed in chemical-free environments. Later we will go into discussions to check why wools are used in producing organic mattresses.
There are also other rules laid out to qualify the wools to be used in producing organic mattress. Just like the fabrics, the wool used should not be treated with any sort of chemical substances. Therefore the production of the wools has to be from factories that are not producing other chemical-based products such as polyester. Furthermore, the wools used to produce chemical-free organic mattress have to be tested first to ensure that they are free from arsenic and lead. In short, no chemicals should be used in any circumstances. I can see now that this could be the reason why some mattress companies are not producing organic mattresses since the standards and the rules to be complied to are really tough to be precisely followed and practiced.
Other rules that I have left out are more detailed descriptions on what an organic mattress should be made from. I can safely say here that to ensure that an organic mattress is really is an organic product, everything about it should be following organic standards. Starting from the selection of the materials to be used to processing each of the materials and then processing and combining all of the materials, none of them should involve the usage of chemicals. If there is, then the mattress is no longer qualified as organic. It should be sold and quoted as normal mattress.
However, there are exceptions to these rules. Materials such as the thread and the metal springs used in supporting the mattress to be firm and solid have no specific guidelines anywhere in this world to qualify them as being organic or not. Therefore these materials can freely be used in producing organic mattresses. Unless one day someone managed to create organic springs, then maybe for a mattress to be qualified as organic, the mattress should only used organic springs. That may sound funny today but hey who knows, hundreds of years ago no one would believe you that you can speak to someone thousands of kilometers away from you!
As I see it, an organic mattress is supposed to be made from only natural materials. This is my understanding and although it is hard to find one mattress that fit my criteria, I have to be patient to finally find one so that I don't have to feel guilty for not providing my family the best products to protect their health and their life. I don't mind spending thousands to achieve that goal as long as they got the best from me and that's my aim; to provide the best for them.
These days, you are more than likely to stumble into stores that are selling comfort organic cotton mattresses. Either you are in Portland or somewhere else, the possibility is there to find a mattress store. As I have extensively outlined to you what should qualify as organic mattress, you should now be able to identify a mattress to be organic or not. At least, you have some basic ideas on what questions you should ask the mattress sales rep. Isn’t it fun to see the sales rep who looks like Katrina Halili runs to her sales supervisor to get confirmation that the mattress you asked does not contain any phlates? It will be funnier if you know that she was actually asking about the meaning of phlates lol.
That’s all for now and if you are interested to find more information about Organic Mattress in Michigan, you may read that post. I will elaborate more about all organic mattresses either by updating previous posts or through new posts. If you have any inquiries, please do not hesitate to leave your comments. However, I recommend you to read more about mattresses and organic mattresses either from reading “mattress blog” or join any forums that talk about choosing the right mattress for your bed.
Note : From what I have learned from my friends, it seems like the so-called NAOMI association does not have any other members apart from the site who produced the standards to certify a mattress as organic. As far as I am concerned, no one has yet to take the initiative to unify all of the organic mattress manufacturers into one organization.

Organic Cotton Mattress
I have noticed that these days people are quite conscious about their health and how items around their houses can affect their health. Lifestyle is no more about having latest gadgets in the house. Lifestyle is about enjoying a healthy one. A healthy lifestyle means taking care of the family and buying household items that are contributing directly or indirectly to the health. Fortunately, the household items industry is well-informed of this trend and therefore they have taken additional efforts by researching for more ways to manufacture and produce better products. That is why it is quite easy to find organic cotton mattresses in the market.
An organic cotton mattress is considered one of the best solutions to help in preventing breath-related diseases from spreading in the house. Breath-related diseases such as asthma and pneumonia are dangerous diseases especially to babies and kids and therefore it is crucial to choose the right household items to be purchased and placed in your house. Since we live in the era where people are sleeping on mattresses, mattress is the main source of dusts and mites. The mattress’s beddings and pillows as well as bolsters are also sources of dusts and mites. How do we stop the dusts and mites from heaping up in the mattress?
For many years, we don’t even know what it means by organic mattress. We are clueless of the importance of using organic materials in the mattress to prevent unwanted diseases from spreading in our family. We don’t realize that the standard lab-made mattresses that we use contained chemicals that are harmful especially to children. After many years, some researchers found out about this and then we learned about chemicals called “phlates”. Only after that we learned that the “normal synthetic mattress” that we have been using for years is harmful to our kids.
Currently there are many mattress manufacturers that produce organic mattress. Some are made from 100% cottons and some are made from 100% wools. There are also organic mattresses that are made from both cottons and wools. These mattresses are called “organic” since they are made from “organic materials”. Cotton is an organic material. So does wool. Both cotton and wool have special capabilities that qualified them to be processed to make organic mattresses. Even some of their unique capabilities are known to us and yet we don’t realize them.
There are many pros and cons when it comes to using organic mattress. “Pros” are the advantages that are usually cheered by the marketers to build the reputations for organic cotton mattress. “Cons” are disadvantages of using “organic cotton mattress” and as you correctly guessed, they usually are words from traditional synthetic mattress producers. Simmons for example is a well known mattress manufacturer and they have been producing many great mattresses; thanks to their intensive research and developments. However, Simmons is not the first mattress manufacturers that produces organic cotton mattress. Its technology so far is still with the standard synthetic mattress.
So if standard synthetic mattress is bad for your health, why organic cotton mattress is good for your health? The answer to this question is still subjective to this date but we can always conclude that “organic” is always good for your health. Everyone knows this fact. Organic water is always a better choice than recycled water. Organic foods are better than foods that contain chemicals such as preservatives and synthetic flavors. In short, I can assure you that an organic cotton mattress is suitable to produce a good and healthy sleeping environment for your kids as well as for your family. As I have mentioned earlier, cotton is a friendly organic material and that is why it is used widely in producing organic mattress.
Using an organic cotton mattress means you are using a chemical-free mattress. The mattress is made from natural resources such as cotton and wool. Wool is used for various reasons and one of them is because of wool capability of absorbing moist therefore it helps to keep the mattress dry at all times. However, some people are really concern about man-made items and since wools gone through several processes before it can be used, cotton mattresses appear to be 100% natural mattresses.
The Popularity of Organic Cotton Mattress
If there is organic cotton, then there must be conventional cotton. Conventional cottons are produced widely in many countries. Unfortunately, the cotton farms are heavily sprayed with pesticides and chemical fertilizers are used to keep the crops pests-free and fertilized. These pesticides that are commonly used on cotton crops especially in the United States have been identified as chemicals that could cause cancers and therefore they are harmful to humans. Some chemicals are also dangerous since they could cause birth defects and other rare diseases. The worst part is when the cottons are used in clothing productions as well as in furniture industry. During the manufacturing processes, the conventional cottons are added with more toxic chemicals. Would you want to sleep on this kind of mattress?
This is where the natural organic cotton comes into place. The natural organic cottons are considered “natural” and “organic” when they are grown in crops that are not sprayed with any kind of chemicals. If they happened to be planted in sprayed fields, the fields have to be free from being sprayed at least for three years before they are qualified to be chemical-free fields. Of course the cottons produced from these types of crops are lesser in terms of their quality but since they are nurtured naturally, they have more values to human health and therefore if they are used to make household items, they are good for your health.
The natural organic cotton mattress is probably high in price due to its exceptional values. Of course, a good product comes with expensive price tag but I rather spend thousands on this kind of mattress than spending the money to buy synthetic mattress. Why would I waste my money on products that are harmful to my kids and my babies? I would spend my money to buy an organic cotton mattress, an organic mattress cover, toppers, and so on. The more organic products around, I will feel more comfortable and at least my mind is free from thinking about dangerous things that could happen to my kids in my own house.

Organic Mattress for Your Bed
A mattress is put on the bed to ensure that the sleep time is going to be the best time ever. No one wants to sleep on the couch or just barely on the floor only to wake up feeling uneasy and uncomfortable. That is why a mattress is used and for centuries, the mattress has gone through a lot of developments. Mattress has been improved drastically and these days it is common to see a variety of mattresses. People are looking for mattresses that are comfortable to be slept on and in these past few years, people are more into finding a mattress that is also good for their health. There are many types of mattress including comfort mattress and organic mattress.
There are many mattress manufacturers out there and some of them are reputable companies and well-known for producing good and comfort mattress. These companies take the effort to do many researches and they have failed few times before they can successfully manufactured comfort mattresses and good-for-health mattresses. They don’t simply go and produce mattresses just to make some money. No, people these days are more intelligent and more well-informed about many things. If a company is scamming people, then more than likely the news about it will spread across the country in seconds and within hours, the company is down. No one likes to be scammed by anyone especially when it comes to mattress.
How do you define a good mattress or a comfort mattress? This is actually a subjective question and you can have more than one answer. Depending on your needs, the comfort level of the mattress is determined by numerous factors and the only thing that you need to do to make the decision is to test the mattress on your own. You don’t ask your friend to go shopping for mattress on your behalf. The mattress may feel comfort to him or her but not necessarily comfort for you. The only way to decide is to test the mattress on your own.
These days many have realized that the standard comfort mattress is no longer good for health. Some researches performed by scientists have shown a shocked result where there are actually a bunch of chemicals in the standard mattress. These chemicals are responsible to cause asthma and breathing difficulties for children and therefore the mattress is no longer safe for your kids. Thankfully, the alternative to that is to purchase an organic mattress where the mattress is made from natural resources.
Organic mattresses are chemical-free mattress and therefore they are free from any dangerous chemicals. They are made from organic materials such as cottons and wools. Compared to the standard synthetic mattress, organic mattress is much safer since they don’t provoke any complications to anyone’s health especially babies. They are usually designed and created from selected imported wools and natural cotton and therefore they are environmentally friendly. It is a bonus if you can find an organic mattress that is also comfort and later you can enjoy sleeping in peace and feeling great the next morning.
Buying an organic mattress is just like buying the standard synthetic mattress. You should always test the organic mattress at the mattress store by lying down on the mattress for a few minutes. Then only you will be able to decide whether the mattress is comfort enough for you. If you are sleeping with your partner, then it is best to go together with your partner to the mattress store and test the mattress together. If both of you feel comfort on it, then the mattress is the best one for you. It is not necessarily be the most expensive mattress in the store but it can also be a cheap one as long as you are happy with the mattress and you feel comfort enough sleeping or lying down on the mattress.
The best part about using organic mattress is its ability to absorb liquid or moist. Natural wool has this capability and therefore the mattress is kept dry all the time with little effort from you. Apart from that, a mattress that is made from natural wool is also dust-mite resistant and due to this fact, it helps to reduce itching and skin irritation especially for babies and children.
There are many places in the country that are selling organic mattresses. You should always go to few mattress stores before deciding to buy one. Do not fall trap to sales pitch by the mattress sellers. Take their words at face value only and then go to other stores and check whether the information you gathered is wrong. If you happen to get all the right information about the organic mattress that you have decided to purchase, then make sure you test the organic mattress by lying down on the mattress. If you are from Raleigh North Carolina, I believe that there are a lot of mattress stores scattered all over North Carolina.
If you are buying for your children, then I recommend you to purchase the organic mattress. The organic mattress is good for kids’ health since it is free from any chemical substances and in other words, the organic mattress encourages better health. A good and comfort organic mattress is certainly how you keep your family happy and sleep well at nights.
There are many mattress manufacturers out there and some of them are reputable companies and well-known for producing good and comfort mattress. These companies take the effort to do many researches and they have failed few times before they can successfully manufactured comfort mattresses and good-for-health mattresses.

The only way to decide is to test the mattress on your own.
These days many have realized that the standard comfort mattress is no longer good for health. Some researches performed by scientists have shown a shocked result where there are actually a bunch of chemicals in the standard mattress. These chemicals are responsible to cause asthma and breathing difficulties for children and therefore the mattress is no longer safe for your kids. Thankfully, the alternative to that is to purchase an organic mattress where the mattress is made from natural resources.
Organic mattresses are chemical-free mattress and therefore they are free from any dangerous chemicals. They are made from organic materials such as cottons and wools. Compared to the standard synthetic mattress, organic mattress is much safer since they don’t provoke any complications to anyone’s health especially babies. They are usually designed and created from selected imported wools and natural cotton and therefore they are environmentally friendly. It is a bonus if you can find an organic mattress that is also comfort and later you can enjoy sleeping in peace and feeling great the next morning.
Buying an organic mattress is just like buying the standard synthetic mattress. You should always test the organic mattress at the mattress store by lying down on the mattress for a few minutes. Then only you will be able to decide whether the mattress is comfort enough for you. If you are sleeping with your partner, then it is best to go together with your partner to the mattress store and test the mattress together. If both of you feel comfort on it, then the mattress is the best one for you. It is not necessarily be the most expensive mattress in the store but it can also be a cheap one as long as you are happy with the mattress and you feel comfort enough sleeping or lying down on the mattress.
The best part about using organic mattress is its ability to absorb liquid or moist. Natural wool has this capability and therefore the mattress is kept dry all the time with little effort from you. Apart from that, a mattress that is made from natural wool is also dust-mite resistant and due to this fact, it helps to reduce itching and skin irritation especially for babies and children.
There are many places in the country that are selling organic mattresses. You should always go to few mattress stores before deciding to buy one. Do not fall trap to sales pitch by the mattress sellers. Take their words at face value only and then go to other stores and check whether the information you gathered is wrong. If you happen to get all the right information about the organic mattress that you have decided to purchase, then make sure you test the organic mattress by lying down on the mattress. If you are from Raleigh North Carolina, I believe that there are a lot of mattress stores scattered all over North Carolina.
If you are buying for your children, then I recommend you to purchase the organic mattress. The organic mattress is good for kids’ health since it is free from any chemical substances and in other words, the organic mattress encourages better health. A good and comfort organic mattress is certainly how you keep your family happy and sleep well at nights.

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.

Organic Mattress in California
What does it mean by organic mattress and how exactly an organic mattress affect your health as well as your baby’s health? Does it really matter to choose an organic mattress than the standard memory foam mattress? Well, this topic is quite subjective and after several researches performed, I have finally came to a conclusion that your preferences on choosing the right mattress for you and your family depend on what are your concerns and what are your priorities. There are just too many mattress companies out there that have obfuscated us with myths and all ridiculous stories about both synthetic mattress and organic mattress. Therefore it is essential to carefully read all related articles about materials used in producing mattresses before you decide to buy one; either for yourself or for your children.
Let’s take a look at the history of mattress production first before we jump into what it means by organic mattress. As you all know, mattress has a long history back in the ancient time. People created beds first that were raised about a foot or two off the ground simply to avoid dirt as well as pests. However, at that particular time, most probably the mattress consists of a pile of leaves, grass, or possibly straw, all wrapped in probably animal skins. Rome people on the other hand had managed to make mattress that were filled with reeds, hay, or wool and somehow the riches could afford to have a mattress that was filled with feathers.
The technology to produce a good and comfort mattress has rapidly increased over time and finally in 1870, our friend Mr. Zalmon G. Simmons founded his famous mattress company, Simmons Bedding Company. The company’s flagship brand is Beautyrest and since then mattresses have been produced commercially. When they first started, no one has ever mentioned about the benefits of using a comfort mattress and how it could affect our health. Simmons then promoted the benefits of having a good sleep and how it relates to sleeping on a comfort mattress. Starting from that point, many researches have been done by various health organizations and all have suggested one common benefits; a good nice sleep came from a well-made mattress.
So what are the differences between a synthetic mattress and an organic mattress? As you all know, synthetic mattress are made from chemicals and some of the chemicals that are used in producing this mattress are toxic. For instance, the US Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA) has banned chemicals called phthlates which are harmful platicizer chemicals commonly found in crib mattresses and mattress pads. This is where the concern of getting an organic mattress is beginning to raise rapidly amongst the people.
Why is this chemical “phthlates” harmful to children? The “phthlates” are actually a group of chemicals known to affect a child’s developing endocrine or hormonal system, causing the child to suffer from asthma, allergies, and to the extent of getting cancer. Many countries have actually banned this chemical from being used in any products; toys, child care articles, and of course, mattresses. They are hazardous chemicals and therefore there is no doubt that they are hazardous to children.
Unfortunately the banning of using this chemical for mattress production has just been implemented and therefore at the time being, there are no rules being implemented to recall millions of mattresses on the market, containing these chemicals. In other words, you are still exposed to these chemicals if you buy a synthetic mattress and therefore the only solution at this moment would be to buy an organic mattress. No, this is not an advertisement but rather a reminder to you that if you are not so sure about what are the materials used to make a mattress, it is best to try out the organic mattress. In fact, they are as good as the synthetic mattress. And of course, they are safer for your health. If you are buying for your baby, then an organic mattress is your best bet to ensure that your baby receive the best product that is safe for his/her health.
Where can you find these types of chemicals? Well, as you know, babies tend to wet and spit all over the mattress and due to this fact, the mattress becomes damped and with too much moisture in a mattress, it can become an unhealthy haven for bacteria, mold and mildew. Mattress manufacturers have taken a not-too-smart step to avoid this by producing a mattress that is covered with a vinyl waterproof cover. Unfortunately, the hazardous chemical is found inside the vinyl waterproof cover. Let alone the chemical, a vinyl itself is toxic enough since it is a plasticized form of PVC. Did you know that PVC is widely known and considered to be one of the most hazardous plastics these days.
There is no doubt then that an organic mattress is certainly a good investment to reduce the chances for your baby to develop wheezing which could eventually lead to asthma. So if you are buying a mattress for your children, then I suggest you to look for an organic mattress.
How about the waterproof thingy?
Fortunately, companies that have been producing organic mattresses have found a way to replace the hazardous chemicals used in creating the vinyl waterproof cover. They have managed to replace the vinyl by creating a pure food-grade polyethylene which is naturally soft and flexible. This “polyethylene” material does not require any plasticizer additives and therefore it is safe for both your baby and yourself.
Where can you find an organic mattress in California?
I don’t have much time to lookup for all the locations that are selling organic mattresses in California. However, I have chosen few mattress shops scattered around California. Take your time to visit any one of them to get your organic mattress and make sure you ask the sales rep about other benefits of using an organic mattress.
There are few organic mattress shops in Los Angeles. One of them is the Futon Shop which offers organic futon mattresses as well as sofa beds. They have a wide selection of organic mattresses and thank God the prices are reasonable too. The shop is located at 10669 W Pico Boulevard. You might also give them a call first at 310-474-5595 or 800-443-8866.
Another mattress shop is called Mattress Town which is located also at W Pico Boulevard Los Angeles. Mattress Town also offers a wide selection of organic mattress. There is also a warehouse, Mattress Warehouse which is somewhere in Pasadena where you can go to check out the organic mattress.
If you are in San Diego, you can also check out Al Davis Wholesale Furniture as it currently offers discounted mattresses including organic mattresses. There are also varieties of furniture products in the store and most of them are high quality products. Again, get as much information as possible before you go to the store so will have ample knowledge about the mattress that you are going to purchase. Al Davis also offers organic, chemical-free mattresses. They are made from natural quilting materials and pure cotton fabric. These mattresses at Al Davis San Diego shop are all natural with no chemical fire retardants or other chemical substances. As far as I’m concerned, you can get a twin set of an organic mattress at only $499 at this moment at the mattress shop.
Another organic mattress shop in San Diego is called the Sleepcenters. It is located at Balboa Avenue and they have all sorts of mattresses including adjustable one, air beds mattress, and also organic mattress. On the other hands, if you are in San Francisco, you can go to Futon Shop of San Francisco which is located at Cesar Chavez. For your information, the Futon Shop has been producing environmentally friendly organic mattresses for such a long time.
In San Francisco, another mattress shop is called Happy Planet at Irving Street San Francisco. The shop also offers organic mattresses and many have actually recommended this shop (their operating hours are from 12pm to 6pm and they close at Mondays and Tuesdays).
Be conscious about your health. Be conscious too about your baby’s health. Make a wrong decision and you might end up buying a mattress that is hazardous for you and your family. I recommend you to buy an organic mattress as at this time there is no one research that pointing to the unsafe used of organic mattress. However, as I have mentioned few times, it is all about your priorities and what are your budget constrains. Do you think that you still want to stick with your synthetic mattress simply because the organic mattress is more expensive?
Sleep well!
