Why buy a Natural Mattress

by Maria Williams Online Marketing Specialist

It is estimated that humans spend a third of their lives sleeping, and more time is spent just lying down on the bed. If we spend this incredulous amount of time on the bed alone, then buying the right mattress should be a top priority.

When discussing quality mattresses, it is impossible to omit mattresses that use organic materials.

What are Natural Mattresses?

Natural mattresses are made from a blend and combination of layers from organic wool, cotton, and organic latex.

Natural materials can be sourced from plants (cotton, etc.), animals (wool, etc.) or inorganic minerals.

Getting the better mattress

If you still use a conventional mattress, you are missing a lot from the many benefits and comforts that the natural mattress offers. I use a natural mattress, and this is what I have discovered:

• Natural mattress protects you from allergies

With Natural mattresses, you can sleep comfortably; you are free from the many health complications that are triggered by using a traditional mattress. Traditional mattresses are mostly made from polyurethane and emit unstable compounds that can be absorbed by the body and cause complications for asthmatic people, and further respiratory issues.

• Use an eco-friendly mattress

With the growing awareness campaigns of the dangers our planet faces due to greenhouse gases and the ozone layer depletion, it is only fair we don't contribute to further degradations.

When organic mattress expires in use, they are easily bio-degradable to landfills and compost for plants. This is opposed to synthetic mattresses that rarely decomposes, and litters the earth for tens of thousands of years.

• Save more in the long run with natural mattresses

Natural mattresses are generally more durable than the synthetic ones, and they can be subjected to almost any physical conditions, and still retain their qualities. Also, natural mattresses have been known to last as much as 13 to 20 years.

• Better thermal and absorption properties that keep you warm and cozy

There is reason wool is dubbed "the natural air condition"; their superior thermal properties as good heat insulators and retainer of heat, ensure that you are warm in the winters and cool in summer. Wool can also absorb the right amount of moisture without feeling damp.

• Sleep in your style

A significant advantage of using natural mattresses is they are highly customizable. You can adjust the level of firmness to suit your style, and while some may prefer their mattress to be hard and rocky, others enjoy the pleasure that comes with a 'sinking' mattress.

• Natural Mattresses use non-toxic materials as fire retardants

While traditional mattresses use chemicals like boric acid, antimony, etc. as fire retardants, organic mattresses have layers of wool, Kevlar, or inner fibreglass as proof from flames. These non-toxic materials used for fire-proofing makes them superior to a conventional mattress.

Conclusion

Choosing a mattress Sydney is just as vital as dieting; because good sleep is the best therapy for your body. When you choose mattresses, it is crucial to place your comfort and health as the top priority since lots of 'therapy sessions' will be done on your bed.

Also, while natural mattresses can be expensive at the initial buy, they have proven to be more cost-effective in the long run.
