Getting a good night’s sleep is incredibly important for your health and well-being. Without proper sleep, the body does not function properly. After long terms of lousy sleep, serious health issues can arise. So it’s very important that you have a proper mattress that is safe to sleep on.
For the eco conscious, there are many types of mattresses and bedding available. Many manufacturers now create furniture from sustainable harvested materials. To be extra careful, ask about the building process to ensure no harmful toxins are used – most typical furniture contains formaldehyde and other harsh chemicals in glues and binders. Even better, look for products that are made with %100 natural wood and look for craftsman peices made with traditional techniques – such as Amish craftsmanship. Natural wood furniture lasts a lifetime and can turn into loving family heirlooms handed down generation to generation.
With newer sustainable practices being used by many manufacturers, you can now buy beds and bedding in a variety of eco friendly forms. Natural memory foamĀ mattresses and organic made mattresses offer a healthy and sound sleep free of harmful toxins and chemicals you’d otherwise breathe in nightly. Just as important, natural organic bedding ensures you and your family are sleeping safely on products free of pesticides and other harmful chemicals.

Bamboo has been a very popular eco friendly way to make many products these days. From bamboo bed sheets and bamboo mattresses to hand cloths, towels, linen and even clothing. Bamboo is from the grass family and grows up to 35 meters tall – its the fastest growing woody plant in the world.
Bamboo has been recorded as growing as much as 1 metre in a single day (Japanese species). With thousands of varieties, bamboo can be grown almost anywhere. And it can be reharvested with no damage to the surrounding area. That’s why bamboo makes an excellent choice for organic products – it’s easily sustainable.
Bamboo is an excellent product for bed sheets. This performance bedding is naturally anti-bacterial and breathes very well – in fact, it helps regulate your body temperature while you sleep – not too hot and not too cold. It is just as soft as the best cotton, but without all the toxic pesticides used to grow it. Add your bamboo bed sheets to an eco friendly mattress and you have an organic and healthy place to sleep – allergen free.
