Many people in the US are choosing to eat organic after learning about how non organic foods are often exposed to antibiotics, pesticides and other chemicals, while also having a larger carbon footprint. If you have already switched over to organic cereal, meats and veggies, you might think there is nothing left. However, have you considered that many of the materials in your home that you end up touching every day, including your sheets, mattresses and linens, might not be organic?

What many people do not realize about non organic mattresses is that they contain petroleum materials that act as glues, flame retardants, and dyes. Some might even contain pesticide residue. Your skin is capable of absorbing these chemicals, especially over extended periods of time. Regular mattresses become more toxic as they age, since the pesticide and flame retardant residues end up binding to dust present in the household.

Organic mattresses, by contrast, are made out of natural materials such as organic wool, natural rubber, and organic cotton. Organic sheets and linens are usually made from organic cotton as well. These materials absorb body moisture during the night, and allow it to evaporate during the day, unlike synthetic, normal mattresses. Materials like wool are fire resistant naturally, making them a popular choice for organic mattresses.

The drawback to organic linens, mattresses, and other bedding items is that they are more expensive than regular, inorganic items. Materials such as wool also have the potential to pack down, causing your mattress to sag. On the other hand, most organic bedding will last a very long time, mitigating someone the initial cost. Considering that you will spend many hours every day in direct contact with your bedding, it is worth thinking about alternative options.
