A good night’s rest is paramount to any successful endeavor in life. The Mayo Clinic suggests we all need around seven to eight hours of sleep each night. Sleep is one of the single most important things we do in our lives. It helps us create memories, recharge after a long day, and maintain our health. Unfortunately, the riggers of the modern world sometimes prevent us from getting the amount of sleep we need. Fortunately, getting a new mattress, upgrading some pillows or sheets, and finding ways to get higher quality sleep can help you get those necessary seven to eight hours. In fact, a new mattress is probably one of the best ways to do this. In this article, we’ll cover a few reasons to get yourself an organic mattress soon. 

Sustainable Material

Mattresses or something that you use every day. As with any other item or piece of furniture that sees daily use, it’s going to be subject to wear and tear. Sadly, things just wear out after a while. No matter how much you take care of them or clean them, eventually, that mattress will need to be replaced. Some studies and product testing suggest mattresses should be changed out every seven to ten years. Replacing it with a natural mattress is a good idea, largely because of the sustainable materials used in their construction. You’ve probably seen furniture or clothing made from what is known as sustainable materials. A sustainable material in this sense is merely a material that can be mass-produced without having a severe environmental impact. Think about things that are made of bamboo, have cork used in their construction, or have a cotton filling. These are all examples of sustainable materials used in manufacturing. In bed making and mattress design, the most common materials are going to be GOTS-certified cotton, the rule from goats, and everyone’s favorite tree substance, latex.

Comfortable

Here’s a fun fact about natural materials and the advantage they have over synthetic ones: they’re more comfortable. No, really. Synthetic material can be comfortable. There’s no doubt about that. Traditional polyurethane foam mattresses, memory foam, and orthopedic foam have all banked on that over the years. But in reality, natural material such as latex or cotton offers more breathability and pure comfort than some of those synthetic counterparts. A down feather pillow or a pillow filled with cotton might actually be a little bit more conducive to getting a good night’s rest than the old foamy monstrosities of the past. That’s one reason why people like them so much! Natural mattresses and their popularity has soared in recent years.

Hypoallergenic

Allergies are terrible. Millions of people suffer from all sorts of different allergies every year. Sniffling, sneezing, coughing, wheezing, skin irritation, and pork quality rest are all symptoms of a larger allergy issue. No one likes dealing with allergies during any season of the year. Sometimes, dust and dust mites can be the cause of allergies. Other times it could be a material that’s in your pillow or mattress. That’s why hypoallergenic pillows are so popular. They create a barrier between your allergens and you that act as a shield of sorts. Natural mattresses are also hypoallergenic. Natural materials don’t have a lot of excess chemicals in them and often aren’t susceptible to dust and dust mite infestations quite like synthetic materials are. This means they are less likely to maintain irritants that make your allergies act up. That means I can get a good night’s rest without worrying about not being able to breathe well in the morning.

No Crazy Chemicals

Let’s get real here: there are probably chemicals in just about everything we use. It’s just a part of manufacturing. Understanding and knowing what’s in your products is critical anymore. Make sure you read the labels, mattress tags, and do research on anything with which you’re unfamiliar. Remember that synthetic materials such as polyurethane foam contain certain types of volatile organic compounds that happen during the manufacturing process. Well, these compound levels aren’t incredibly high, they do prevent the mattress from being easily recyclable or biodegradable. They also might off-gas throughout the night, potentially exposing sleepers to them. Once again, natural mattresses offer a solution because natural materials do not contain these chemicals at all. In order for a mattress to be considered truly organic, 95% of its materials need to be certified organic and/or natural.

Lots Of Choices

There are some things in life where having plenty of choices is a godsend. Your dinner menu, for example, is an area where variety really spices things up. The same goes for selecting insurance, whether it’s home life, car, or even long-term disability insurance. Organic mattresses offer probably more choice than the standard kind in so many ways. There are twin, full, queen, and king sizes available of course. But you also have the option for pillow tops, vegan mattresses, latex mattresses, hybrid mattresses that contain different types of filling, cotton, or naturally flame-retardant wool. There are also plenty of options for sheets, pillowcases, and linens to help you get a better night’s rest. Whether it’s a support coil, spring, or completely full frame you can rest easy knowing that these mattresses will provide ample support. Finding the best organic mattress is easier than ever today with companies like Avocado Mattress making state-of-the-art, eco-friendly options available to the world at large.
