Why Sleep Organic?

Why sleep organic?   One way to look at it is there are only three ways that your body is directly affected by the environment: what you eat; what you breathe; and what your skin absorbs.  As you sleep, your body is vulnerable to two out of these three exposures.  If you sleep eight hours a day, that's one third of every day taking-in whatever your mattress is giving-off.

Most conventional, non-organic mattresses and bedding products contain potentially toxic chemicals that can be absorbed every night by your skin, as well as by breathing.  A short list of these includes formaldehyde; pesticide residue; TDI; boric acid; and any number of flame retardant chemicals.  Read this recent article at www.salon.com and we expect you will become quite concerned about the chemicals used in regular mattresses.

Say good night to all that!  The wool, latex and innerspring mattresses we carry are as organic as you can get. Our organic bedding products help make your bed a completely synthetic-free and chemical-free sleep haven.

Organic products also tend to be much gentler on Mother Earth, since insecticides, herbicides and other harsh chemicals are not used in their production.

Mother Earth's creatures also tend to be treated more humanely when raised organically, since they are not given questionable doses of antibiotics, growth hormones or genetically engineered foods.

And finally, when you buy organic, you help promote companies and industry practices based on sustainable practices and renewable resources.
