We all know the benefits of eating organic foods and use environmentally friendly cleaning products and other household items free, but now this toxin existence freedom has spread to other areas of the house. Apparently, a tidy, relatively dust-free bedroom just does not cut more in society today mounted chemicals.
How green is your carpet? Natural products such as jute or wool are the most desirable.
Furniture your room can be oozing toxic gases. Everything that makes particle board or boards and left unsealed, can emit formaldehyde and has the potential to cause difficulty breathing, watery eyes, or allergies. Extreme levels have been known to cause cancer in animals and humans.
When you're painting your walls, look for a low mark VOC contained fewer toxins. A good rule of thumb is, the stronger the smell of paint after putting it on the wall, the higher the level of toxicity.
How many of us are sleeping on a bed organic? An organic bed does not emit toxic substances and provides a healthy sleep environment.
Most traditional mattresses are made with fire retardant chemicals that are filtered out, only to be absorbed through the pores and lungs while sleep. After ingestion of various chemicals throughout our day, it gives our bodies a much needed rest if we exclude these toxins of our sleep. This is especially true considering that people spend about a third of your life in bed.
Some of the common toxins emitted during sleep are:
- Formaldehyde, a chemical used in many adhesives and can cause eye and irritation throat and headaches.
- Carcinogenic flame retardants (known as PBDE's), many of which are banned in Europe and some U.S. states.
- Decabromodiphenyl oxide, a brominated flame retardant, now in milk breast of women.
Here are some of the green features in the beds and mattresses, organic:
- Natural latex cores, wrapped in a fireproof material such as cotton or wool
- Emission-free mattresses that contain no glue or adhesive (can emit toxic gases during the first 2-3 years)
- Bedding natural fibers that not only breathes, but of course resists dust mites
- Any cotton material used in the production of bedding should be laundered. Non-traditional cotton is an acceptable option due to its exposure to large quantities of pesticides and fertilizers before harvest.
- (No. PBDE flame retardants)
- Hypoallergenic
- Made in a plant manufacturing chemicals encyclopedia
