Everyone is starting to go "green", environmental green that is. From hybrid cars to organic clothes- your mattress might as well be organic, right? Organic mattresses are the latest green trend. However, organic mattresses benefit more than just the environment. They also help protect you from allergens and mites, also known as bed bugs. Organic wool is found in most organic mattresses and it helps absorb the moisture that is released from your body.
It then release the moisture back into the air. However, do not picture organic cotton or wool stuffed into a mattress. The real insides of an organic mattress is made from a rubber tree. The rubber comes from the tree sap, and then in turn, it produces foam. The organic cotton and wool is contained within the rubber. The end result is a wonderful investment that continues to give back to the environment.
Wool, cotton, rubber, hemp, and other raw materials are the basic ingredients of an organic mattress. The materials come from all over the world: India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Belgium, England, France, and even the US. Organic mattress manufactures are becoming more popular than the original mattress companies. However, the well known brands are also turning to organic, such as Serta. The basic organic mattress is said to last more than 20 years. They also come with a very valuable warranty that will last almost as long as the lifespan of the mattress itself. The greatest benefit to the environment is the fact that the mattress can be completely recycled once it has been worn out.
Many people are reluctant to try something so new to the economy as an organic mattress. However, an organic mattress sleeps the same, if not better, than a traditional mattress. Organic mattresses are very comfortable and safe. They also meet all safety requirements and have been passed by the new Federal Fire Laws that were passed in 2007. Companies are also starting to produce other bedding products in organic materials, such as toppers and box springs. Organic mattresses are not as cheap as people would like, but they are coming down in price as they are becoming more well known around the world.
