10 Finest Natural, Non-Toxic Organic Mattresses: 10 Easy Pieces

We sleep on our bed mattress around 3,000 hours annually. We ‘d rather not invest those corrective hours slumbering amidst a mixed drink of petrochemicals, flame-retardants, carcinogens, and formaldehyde-containing adhesives. In the past, choices for a natural, non-toxic bed mattress were a little grim: a bumpy cotton futon, restricted choices in regards to convenience, or a rather unaffordable (although we did include this in our list) handcrafted horse hair bed mattress suitable for royals. Today, more business are turning their efforts towards natural, non-toxic products and getting accreditations from trustworthy third-party companies. Our findings are cross referenced with research study carried out in our newest book, Remodelista: The Low-Impact Home, and firms like the Environmental Working Group (EWG).
