ORGANIC, NON-TOXIC BEDDING
MATRESSES & COVERS
Matresses pose a particular problem for those of us trying to make our homes healthier, more sustainable places. Federal and state laws mandate the use of fire retardant chemicals that have been shown to have adverse health effects. Fire safety is, of course, extremely important. Candles in bedrooms caused roughly 6000 fires in the USA in 2007. Before even considering bedding, give serious thought to the use of candles in bedrooms at all. At the very least make sure they are on stable surfaces and far away from combustable materials.
Many mattress manufacturers advertise the materials in the products as "natural". But they gloss over the fact that they are forced to incorporate possibly dangerous chemicals into the coverings, for fire safety. One company that has found a way to satisfy the law and still offer consumers a choice is NonToxicBeds.com. They manufacture their mattresses with a removable cover that satisfies fire safety requirements.
