I have been asked countless times about natural mattresses and I really don't have a lot of information on this subject. This just came to my attention and I thought it looked great and I would pass it along to all of you in case anyone is looking for a mattress.
Toxins are everywhere in our environment and have the ability to affect us in many ways. In New Zealand studies have been conducted connecting SIDS to toxins in mattresses. Special covers there have been developed to seal those toxins in to protect the infant from breathing them in.
I have not followed the research, but when I was reading about it several years ago, the use of these covers significantly reduced the incidence of SIDS by an astounding percentage.
If toxins in a mattress could cause SIDS, then it is not a far stretch to conclude that it is capable of effecting a person in numerous other kinds of ways. And, every way we can clean up our surroundings is a step in the right direction for our overall health.
I am not saying that you must do this to become healthier in terms of your IC. I am just saying, like eating organic, or not drinking alcohol-its one thing you can chose to do.
