Natural Bed and Bedding Products

With the rising popularity of memory foam, one may be familiar with the advantages of it’s ultimate comfort and support, but you may not be aware of potential health risks of  memory foam mattresses. Like most mattresses, including the standard latex bed, a fire retardent chemical is a manditory requirement. This, and the contents of memory foam itself (even mattress toppers), is the source of potential toxins you may breathe in every night.

If you have allergies or asthma, a memory foam mattress can be a great solution. It is naturally resistant to mildew and house dust mites, so may be the best option for some people. However, if you have concerns about the chemicals in memory foam, you might consider the natural version made by the rubber tree plant
