INSIGHT

Mattress Toxins Harm Sleep

  • Mattresses off-gas toxins like polyurethane and fire-retardant chemicals that deeply affect sleep quality.
  • Sleeping on toxic mattresses overworks the nervous system and blocks deep, restorative sleep cycles.
ADVICE

Avoid Harmful Mattress Materials

  • Avoid mattresses made with polyurethane and chemical fire barriers.
  • Prioritize mattresses with organic cotton fabric and avoid chemically treated fiber batting and polyester shells.
ADVICE

Seek Certified Organic Mattresses

  • Always buy mattresses with GALS and GOTS certifications to ensure true organic materials.
  • Beware of brands misusing certifications by only certifying a small component but not the entire mattress.
