5 Health Benefits of Switching to an Organic Mattress
Better Air Quality for Better Breathing
Conventional mass produced mattresses are treated with chemicals. This starts with pesticides that are used on cotton plants and ends with adding flame retardant and more fungicides and herbicides. Natural mattresses on the other hand only use organic cotton, wool, and latex, meaning not pesticides and no need to be treated in harsh chemicals as wool is naturally flame retardant. All this leads to better air quality in your home that your lungs will thank you for!
2. Improved Temperature Regulation for Improved Comfort
I’m sure you’ve heard that natural materials “breathe”, but what does that even mean? Natural materials are able to have a greater degree of air and moisture move through them. This means you will stay warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer. Ensuring a better quality of sleep as you will stay comfortable all night long.
3. Longer Life & Durability for Longer and Deeper Sleep
Conventional synthetic mattresses start to break down quickly. Your sleep may start to get disrupted by having to adjust for comfort more throughout a night as your mattress slowly breaks down. Luckily, organic mattresses are very durable, flexible, and long-lasting due to the fibers and materials the mattress is made from. Organic mattresses should last for 20 years or more!
4. Maximum Support with Low Pressure for Maximum Sleep Quality
Synthetic mattresses come in a wide variety of firmness to softness. This is because synthetic fibers are not as versatile as natural ones. Organic latex conforms to your body minimizing and distributing pressure and supporting your spine. In the same way wool is able to regulate temperature, the larger spaces between fibers allow greater cushion for your body.
5. Hypo-Allergenic to Keep Unwanted Symptoms at Bay
An allergen can cause itching, watery eyes, sneezing, nasal congestion, and headache. Although not everyone will have an allergic reaction to products and chemicals in conventional mattresses, you might be having a mild reaction without knowing the cause. If you have unwanted reactions to other allergens, your mattress might actually be impeding your sleep.
