There has been a lot of attention lately about the mattresses in many homes. The majority of mattresses and today are made using a variety of petroleum based chemicals, foams, plastics and controversial flame retardants. Unfortunately, these are not stable compounds and continue to evaporate into the air and are then inhaled hour upon hour by the person sleeping on the bed. Mattresses are not the only issues, pillows can also be made from the same materials! What does that mean to the user? While you may be comfy at sleep, your breathing in the chemicals while the mattress off-gasses.
Research is now available showing that chemicals used in mattress and pillow manufacturing are in fact evaporating and entering into the air (Off-Gassing). Some of these are documented carcinogenic and mutagenic compounds, which have been proven to cause health issues and sensitivities. It’s pretty scary to think that your bed and pillow could possibly make you sick!
A few years ago CBN News did a report on mattresses, Is your mattress making you sick?, which brought some new light to the possible issues with tradition mattresses. The Mattress Buyers Guide to Off Gassing, also offers some great information for those researching the topic.
Meet Savvy Rest
While working for a futon company, Michael Penny, learned of the mattress creation process. After Mr Penny learned what toxic chemicals and allergens end up in mattresses, he made it his business (literally). Mr Penny wanted to create a healthy, comfortable alternative to traditional mattresses filled with chemicals. He was successful and Savvy Rest was born. The company now has a mission to provide organic mattresses and pillows that create the healthiest sleeping environment possible.
Savvy Rest Commitment To You: (1) Purity: our materials are natural, nontoxic, certified and independently tested. (2) Comfort: every Savvy Rest organic mattress is customized for the individual. (3) Integrity: we treat customers with honesty and respect. (4) Value: a Savvy Rest will long outlast a conventional mattress.
Savvy Rest’s mission and products were developed in response to mounting concerns about the toxic chemicals used in most conventional mattresses. Their Organic Mattresses are made of natural latex rubber, certified organic wool and certified organic cotton. The Savvy Rest bedding line includes organic mattress toppers, sheets, mattress pads, and organic pillows.
Savvy Rest wants to share their commitment of providing a good nite’s sleep and has offered to give one of my readers two organic pillows!
