How To Avoid A Toxic Mattress

A bed is an exceedingly important place. Without satisfactory sleep it is hard to function at all, not to mention function efficiently.
Our bodies are designed to utilize the time we sleep to heal and repair themselves, so we ought to be doing our best to have high quality sleep every night.

The problem is that many people are oblivious of how mattresses are made and the laws around them and how this might be having an effect on our lives.

At some particular point most of us have slept on foam chair bed or sleeper sofa, and these are fine for the occasional night. Actually most things in moderation are not going to kill you. However , sleeping each night on a standard or foam mattress which is covered in poisonous fire retardant is probably not going to be doing you any good.

The difficulty is that back in 2007 there was research done which recommended that mattresses should contain a fire retardant. This was the result of an investigation into house fires. It seems, from the stats, that many house fires are started by lit cigarettes which are dropped when someone accidentally falls off to sleep. The solution to the problem was to coat beds and sofas in fire retardants. This will initially sound like common sense, but what exactly were they coating our mattresses in?

There are numerous different types of fire retardants; but here are 2 components which may interest you. Boric acid is in some fire retardants, it's also found in insecticides and most of us would definitely not eat fruit and veg without making an attempt to wash insecticides off our foods. Another is Antimony; this is a likely carcinogen and is interlinked with lung and heart damage.

However , if our skins were not absorbent to some degree there would be no point in using a skin balm; so either the cosmetic and medical care corporations are lying to us, or we are putting ourselves in peril by sleeping with dangerous chemicals?

So what's the answer?
I will only sleep on mattresses made from organic materials and which obviously state they have not been treated with chemicals which are threatening to my health. I spent quite a bit of money on the last futon mattress I acquired, and not only will it come with all of the health guarantees I was searching for, it has given me more comfortable nights sleep than any other mattress I've ever slept on.

How can I wash my futon mattress cover?

Our futon mattress has a cover which we would like to machine wash. It has a zip, we unzipped it from the inside filling (a type of fibre, messy insulation) but found that where there are hard buttons on the cover, it is attached to the insulation. Removing the buttons seems the only way, but it is nigh on impossible to get the buttons back on afterwards, as they are attached to string which seems to sink deep into the insulation on removal. Is there an easier way?

Really the best thing to do is to make (or buy) a loose cover for the futo. Once you take the buttons off you will ahve a dreadful job tring to put the whole thing back together.
