Organic pillow and mattresses

Organic pillows are just as important as an organic mattress.

Organic pillows are just as important as an organic mattress. If you are concerned
about exposure to toxic chemicals, then organic bedding is a non-negotiable. It's
a common fact that ordinary mattresses and pillows, are filled with synthetic chemicals.
Long after the mattresses have been manufactured and sold, these chemicals are released
into the environment, breathed in while you sleep.

In a mattress store, or showroom have you ever noticed that new mattress smell?
This smell of cleanliness is actually chemical fumes. Synthetic materials such
as polyurethane, polyester, and vinyl are routinely sprayed with chemical fire retardants
before the mattress enter the showroom. It is true that we must protect ourselves
from the risk of fire, but these chemicals aggravate allergies and have been known
to trigger asthma attacks.

Organic pillows and mattresses contain no harmful chemicals. To be labeled organic,
their manufacturers must guarantee their product is chemical free, as well as abide
by strict state and federal regulations. Organic bedding must be made from non-synthetic
materials, their labels must state that all materials have been organically grown
and never been exposed to synthetic chemicals during any part of the manufacturing
procedure.

Feathers for organic goose down pillows come from geese fed a diet of pesticide-free
feed. These geese also have been raised on chemical-free land. The pillow casing
must be made from chemical-free organic cotton, linen, or wool. In the finishing
process, no chemical fire retardants or any other contaminant may be sprayed on
the pillows. Do not worry about exposing yourself to the threat of fire. Organic
wool is naturally fire resistant, making it an excellent alternative to chemical
retardants.
