LATEX IS NATURAL AND COMFORTABLE

The popularity of the latex mattress is a end result of its amazing combination of comfort and durability. Latex can be produced in a variety of firmness levels, which can be layered to create the exact combination of body support, weight distribution and relief of pressure points. Quality manufactures have begun building all natural mattresses by utilizing layers incorporating latex cores, toppers and a covers of organic cotton and organic wool to manufacture a custom feel for distinct firmness comfort levels.

The fact that natural latex is a sustainable resource, produced from the rubber tree, is an desirable quality to many who are looking for alternatives in the materials that they use for their home surroundings. In addition, the aid of wool batting in organic covers with a latex mattress provides sufficient protection to by-pass the extensive use of the chemical fire-retardants that soak nearly all standard inner-spring mattresses. The experience of sleeping on a superior quality latex mattress is a reminder that nature often does know best!

I WONDER IF ALL THE CHEMICALS IN A MATTRESS MAY TRIGGER ALLERGIES?

The American Lung Association says these factors trigger asthma and allergy symptoms in many people:

Anything with powerful fumes, such as hair spray, paint or perfume.

Cold air.

Smoke from cigarettes, pipes, cigars or fireplaces.

Pollen, mold or dust mites.

Animal dander.

Air pollution.

Respiratory tract infections or reactions, stemming from sources such as the common cold or flu.

ORGANIC SHEET BENEFITS

Organic bedding is one of the top investments you can make for you and your children. Many of the sheets sold in stores at present are a 50/50 blend - meaning they are 50% non-organic cotton and 50% polyester. Although the idea of the blend can be great for the house wife who doesn't want to take the time or energy to iron bed sheets, it's not that great when you consider that polyester is made from a petrochemical blend. Not exactly what you would like to cozy up to at night.

Not all cotton sheets are made the same either. Farmers use great amounts of pesticides in nearly all commercially grown cotton. Despite everything that has been prepared to protect individuals from these pesticides, the chemicals are still having an effect on the natural environment and our lives.

The solution is to look for organic bedding. These products are made from cotton that is completely chemical free. Due to the swell in popularity of organic products, organic cotton is now being developed all over the earth. There are even a number of companies working to develop hybrid cotton that will be a color other than the traditional white. This will provide people a better variety with out adding chemicals for coloring.

CLEANER COTTON

Cleaning up Cotton in California

Growing and harvesting one pound of cotton fiber to make a T-shirt impacts the earth's air, water, and soil as well as the health of people living in cotton growing areas. The Sustainable Cotton Project (SCP) partners with conventional growers who recognize the need to reduce chemical use, helping them implement reduced-risk farming methods to minimize this impact.

Why not organic cotton? The answer is simple: the cost to grow organic cotton in California is higher than retailers are willing to pay. Organic cotton acreage is minimal therefore the chemical reduction corresponding to this acreage is also minimal.

Because Cleaner Cotton is grown on significantly more acres than organic cotton it achieves chemical reductions far greater than organic cotton in California.

In 2007 there were 2 organic cotton farmers growing 240 acres, reducing
chemicals by a little over 500 pounds.

In contrast there were 22 cleaner cotton farmers growing 2000 acres,
reducing chemicals by about 2000 pounds.

SCP launched the Cleaner Cotton Campaign to bring this cotton to market. Creating demand for Cleaner Cotton will encourage more farmers to convert more of their cotton acres to Cleaner Cotton.

With your participation, we will achieve the market demand necessary to convince an ever-increasing number of farmers to transition to biologically integrated farming practices.

Estimate based on average of 2.13 pounds of chemicals per acre applied to conventional cotton grown in Fresno, Merced, and Madera Counties where the SCP program is active.

    Over time, a poor mattress will result in numerous back and neck problems for the user. While there are some excellent mattresses available today such as the Temperpedic memory foam mattress, often these options are too expensive for many people to consider. This is where the memory foam mattress topper comes in. These mattress toppers - not the equivalent of a mattress pad - cover the original mattress with a layer of memory foam which allows for the proper give required to sleep with your spine in alignment. memory foam mattress topper

    I often surf the web to find out what's happening available and what individuals are saying about SIDS and mattress wrapping. The past couple of days I've study several comments and misconceptions, largely because of skeptics who wish to depend on healthcare physicians or organizations who, oddly sufficient, get their info from other healthcare medical doctors or organizations. I appreciate you a lot for making this squidoo lens about the toxic foamĀ mattress.. Very helpful.. Thanks heaps..
