They are popular due to the fact that no pesticides, dioxins, formaldehyde, fire retardant foams, or any other petrochemicals are used in their production.

Organic Mattress Materials

While many different mattress manufacturers use a variety of materials, there are some materials that are more frequently used by manufacturers of organic mattresses. The wool that is utilized to make an organic mattress is sheared from lambs both in New Zealand and France. Once removed, the wool is cleaned using a chemical free, non-toxic soap solution. Natural latex rubber is also used in conjunction with organic wool and cotton to make some mattresses, and this type of mattress is comparable to a regular mattress that utilizes memory foam or polyurethane foam. However, both the memory foam and polyurethane foam can be toxic and result in health complications, while natural latex rubber is completely safe, environmentally friendly, and provides a wonderful nights rest.

Who Buys Organic Mattresses?

While the organic mattress has quite a following, those with back and other orthopedic ailments, allergy sufferers, and those individuals who wish to use only eco-friendly items normally purchase it. It is also well known that lanolin, which is a component of sheep’s wool, is a natural dust repellent, making an organic mattress attractive to persons simply interested in a healthier sleeping surface.

Other Organic Items to Complement Your Mattress

There are a myriad of organic items that can be purchased and utilized along with an organic mattress. Some of these items include organic and pure wool comforters, organic cotton sheets, organic cotton blankets, organic latex mattress pads, organic wool pillows and pillow cases, as well as organically grown and made wool mattress toppers.

Chemicals to Avoid

When looking for an organic mattress, be sure to fully investigate what the mattress is made of before making a purchase. Just because a particular mattress is advertised as organic doesn’t mean that it actually is organic. Avoid purchasing any mattress that contains a chemical fire retardant, formaldehyde, synthetic or chemical foams, or any mattress that has been treated with a chemical odor reducer. Glues, plastics, and polyester materials should also be avoided.

An organic mattress will make not only a wise investment, but will also be a healthy choice when it comes to sleeping in a safe environment free of toxic chemicals and pollutants.

Retailers now understand the value in using organic cotton - consumers have been made aware of the products benefits so actively choose organic cotton products and brands.

Defining Organic Cotton?

Organic cotton is grown using methods that have a low environmental impact. That excludes the use of toxic chemicals and ensures the growth of the crop occurs in a sustainable way.  Only environmentally safe pesticides and insecticides can be used on organic cotton.

Sustainability

Sustainability is key to the ethos of organic crops.  Organic cotton is produced with sustainability in mind - we want to have the resources to continue growing the crop on the same land in 100 or 200 years time.  Traditional cotton crops use far too many cheimicals on the land, poisoning the land, leeching out nutrients and leading to environmental destruction

Fair Trade on Organic Cotton

Often, in a large capitalist economy like the United States, major corporations to use their buying power to reduce the price of goods.  The problem with this practice is that often these goods are already being obtained at the expense of third world workers, who are providing them at an very low profit margin in the first place. It forces them to make a choice between working for near-slave-wages, or not working at all.   Organic cotton is also usually Fair Trade Cotton.  Which means that the manufacturers of the fibre are compensated at a fair, living wage.

Because organic farming practices and fair trade purchasing decisions are more more expensive, those costs are passed on to the consumer. However, when considering the benefits for using Organic cotton (environmental, health, fairness to third world) the choice is easy.
