Many manufacturers claim that their products are organic, but you should be warned that these claims are often misleading. As with anything that professes to be organic or sustainable, do the research on the company and make sure you spend your money on legitimate products! After all, you’ll be sleeping on that mattress for the next several years!

People who make the switch to organic, hypoallergenic mattresses and bedding say right away that they notice that their skin problems decrease and that their rashes and itchiness have almost completely disappeared. Often as is the case with organic things, the cost of the mattress will let you know what kind of quality you are getting for your money and how long it will last.

The first step is to remove your mattresses cover. Wash the cover in the washing machine with warm to hot water. If the cover has any stains, use hot water and a generous amount of baby shampoo to remove them before putting the cover in the washing machine. Once your cover is washed, allow to air dry in the sun for a fresh smelling and naturally sanitized result

Next, vacuum the mattress to remove any debris it might be harboring. Don’t forget to flip it over so you can clean it on both sides.

Now, make a solution using your favorite non-toxic laundry detergent or baby shampoo, water and vinegar. Moisten a washcloth in the solution and remove the excess of liquid. Use the washcloth to rub the area of your mattress that has the stains until they disappear. For tougher stains, switch to a clean area of the washcloth and continue rubbing until the stains disappear.

To finish the process, pour tepid water in a bowl. Use a fresh washcloth to lightly moisten it in the water and lightly rub the area of the mattress you just worked on. Keep on moistening and lightly rubbing until the suds disappear. Finish up by applying a little bit of clear water on top of the area where the stain was located.

Allow to dry. Open the bedroom windows to allow fresh air and the sun’s rays to air dry and naturally sanitize your mattress. When both the mattress and cover are dry, slip the cover back on and place the mattress usual position for a good night’s rest.

The common mattress is either made of polyurethane foam or has a spring inner core. It is prone to molds, dust, dirt, dust mites and other particles and micro-organisms that trigger allergies. Furthermore, the human body frequently sheds dead skin and produces natural body oils that tend to stick to the mattress and bedding. Hypoallergenic mattresses, on the other hand, are made of organic materials like natural latex, organic wool and organic cotton and linen. It is sealed so tightly that it is impossible for yucky contaminants to adhere to the surface and settle in the creases and pores. This makes hypoallergenic mattresses very popular among people with allergies (seasonal or otherwise.) There are even some healthcare facilities are now using organic mattresses on their hospital beds.

Benefits of a Hypoallergenic Mattress

Hypoallergenic mattresses, aside from thwarting allergic reactions, contributes to the general well-being of its owner. No allergy attacks while on bed means having a well-rested mind and body. Everybody knows that a good night’s sleep rejuvenates and prepares us for another day of hustle and bustle.

Other health benefits of a hypoallergenic mattress include elimination of insomnia, clearer breathing, prevention of skin rashes, and relief of joint pains.

One important quality of a mattress is its feel. Comfort is vital for you to sleep soundly. The material composition of this kind of mattress makes it more comfortable than the regular one, especially the spring-coiled bed.

The use of wool makes organic mattresses resistant to flame. Wool has anti-flame properties as proven by open-flame tests done on mattresses. Organic wool has high moisture content and protein components that are the main reason for its flame-retardant feature. It takes more than 1000 degrees Fahrenheit before it ignites making it the most fire-resistant fiber known. If ever it reaches that hot and ignites, these bedding are also self-extinguishable.

Organic mattresses are environmentally-friendly because its materials are natural or organic. This makes it safer, especially for sick patients and babies.

Do what the Dalai Lama does and meditate on buying a hypoallergenic mattress and get yourself a good night’s sleep. And while you are at it, purchase organic pillows and bedding to make your dream of an allergy-free slumber come true.

Mattress toppers, or mattress pads as they are sometimes called, have many uses, including making your current mattress softer, more hypo-allergenic, and generally they are easier to clean than a mattress. They are also particularly adept at keeping your body temperature more regular as you sleep, which is indispensable if you are someone who gets too hot, or too cold while you sleep.
