Tips in Buying a Non-Toxic Mattress

We spend at least 6 hours a day sleeping. That means at least 6 hours of direct contact with our mattress. Imagine if you have a toxic mattress, you could be inhaling all that toxic fumes for 6 hours. And it is not true that once you have aired out your mattress in Kamloops and the initial chemical smell is gone, it’s already safe to use. There are still evidences that say many of the fire-retardant chemicals incorporated in toxic mattresses linger and cause hormone disruptions.

Go for a Natural Flame-Retardant Mattress

Some of the flame-retardant chemicals you should be wary of are PBDEs or Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers, Chlorinated Tris and Firemaster 550. Some of these chemicals can cause hyperactivity in children and hormone disruption. Some also have carcinogenic properties.

Choose natural flame-retardant materials instead such as organic wool. Latex mattresses, those that are completely made from latex are also an excellent option.

Pick Organic Cotton

Check out the material used for the outermost layer of the mattress. This will be the one you will be in contact with, so make sure it is made from organic cotton that does not contain bleach and other harmful pesticides.

Look for Certifications 

When buying a new mattress in Kamloops, make sure you check out their certifications. Find out which organizations have given these mattresses a stamp of approval.

Buy from a reputable company that is transparent about how they manufacture their mattresses. Also make sure you know what your options are. Visit shops like City Furniture & Appliances LTD.
