WARNING - You Need To Stop Sleeping With Xylene And Toluene, NOW!
There's no better feeling than drifting off to sleep, to an uninterrupted, chemical-free dream land. The knowledge that you are protecting your family, even while they sleep, is priceless.
But what if, somehow, your family was under attack in their sleep?
When you sleep on a conventional, chemical laden mattress, you’re unwittingly subjecting yourself to a toxic environment, where your well earned sleeping time has you under attack.
As you may know already, I am the Queen of Natural Living, doing my little bit to save the planet and all of us is what keeps me going. Recently, I've realised that THE MOST important way to protect ourselves from the ravages of our toxic soup society is to protect ourselves while we sleep i.e. go organic for bedding materials, I beg you!

You, I'm sure, are well aware of the statistic that says we spend an average of a third of all our lives in bed. A third! Making the organic bedding switch is one of the major changes we need to make, to live a natural and chemical free life.

Reasons To Detoxify Your Sleeping Quarters
- Polyurethane-based products do a great job of retaining your body heat and end up causing you to overheat. If you sleep over heated on a regular basis, you will end up with skin irritations and rashes.
- Off-gassing - The slow process of noxious gases (VOCs) enter the air from toxic materials. Human bodies aren't equipped to process these kinds of nasty chemical cocktails. These chemicals are well known and documented as carcinogens (= cancer causing) These gases are generally emitted from non organic pillows, cushions, mattresses, other bedding, bed frames and flooring FOR THE LIFE OF THE PRODUCT.
- Toluene and xylene - These have been known to cause brain damage.
- Synthetic materials - These trap moisture and allow microbes and dust mites to flourish, which, of course, is less hygienic.
- Nearly all mattresses sold in Australian are made from petroleum-based polyurethane, non organic materials.
- Conventional mattresses stink - And stink for a long time. Most people barely notice the smell because their sense of smell has been dulled and damaged over time by our chemical exposure. These odours do subside, mostly, over a period of time but the smell never completely goes away because it's never stops 'gassing out'
- Mattress manufacturers are not required to tell us about the chemicals that are in their beds.
This long list of chemicals and potential health problems are best avoided, especially while sleeping.

The Big Benefit of Organic Mattresses
One way or another, we will all end up on organic mattresses, as we slowly wake up to the chemicals we've been sleeping with. There are so many reasons to go all organic in the bedroom, that it would take all day to list, but the most outstandingly important is:
- Organic products are ecologically and environmentally friendly and free from chemicals, hormones and pesticides.
What Are Organic Mattresses Made Of?
- Cotton
- Wool
- Latex
Organic Mattresses Are So Expensive!
Yes, yes they are. However, most organic products are three times the price, but mattresses not quite double the price of conventional chemical filled mattresses.
I haven't priced it lately, but doesn't cancer cost each patient in the order of $100,000 for their treatment? Well, organic mattresses come in at LOT cheaper than that!
An organic mattress is an investment, but one that has lasting health benefits for your and your family.
In our modern world there are so very many toxins, chemicals and pollutants, coming at us from all angles, all day long. Make sure to retain a chemical free sanctuary in your bedroom with organically made products, especially your mattress. You can't afford to ignore this any longer.

*Hints & Tips For A Healthy Organic Sleep:
- If you can, get going on ordering your organic mattress today. I can't stress enough just how wildly important it is.
- If affording a new mattress is a problem then be sure to at least cover your current conventional one with an organic mattress protector. You can also use a thick doona/comforter of at least 3cm thickness to keep you from breathing in VOCs.
- Organic baby rooms - If a baby is in a room with all those toxins listed above, he or she is breathing in a heavy chemical cocktail right from day one. Pregnant women and young children especially should be kept well removed from any non organic paint fumes.
- How do I clean my organic mattress? - Use a soft cloth and warm water and any natural helpers like bicarb, hot water or vinegar. When changing sheets, leave them off for at least half the day, while standing your mattress against a wall to air out.
- To keep your mattress clean and fresh, open up the bedroom blinds and curtains every day to allow direct sunlight to flow through the room. Sunlight will kill the dust mites and any fungi spore.
- Use an organic topper. They aren't an essential part of your bedding set, however they will extend the life of your mattress considerably.
