Go organic and allergy-proof your mattress

In case you missed the memo, we’ve jumped from flu season to allergy season. Not exactly sunshine and roses if spring heralds breathing problems and red, itchy eyes.

When allergies come knocking on your door, trust us when we say you’re gonna want the softest, snuggliest, most comfortable bedding to ease your weary body into. An organic mattress would help too! Scooch on over here so we can help you get what you need this spring:

• Softness worth praising

• A breath of fresh air

• Clean, healthy materials

Read on to see why natural bedding from Natura will see you comfortably through allergy season…no greenwashing allowed!

Allergy fighting, naturally

When you’re sneezing and sniffling, all you need is a good dose of allergy medicine to get you through the day, right? Wrong. A dust-free bedroom, organic sheets and a natural/organic mattress are your best bet. Thankfully, Natura has you covered – in more ways than one.

Did you know?

• Certified organic wool and certified organic cotton have never been exposed to chemicals, which mean no off-gassing and healthier air in your bedroom.

• Organic mattresses from Natura are 99.9% natural.

• An organic mattress is virtually chemical-free and protects acres of land for years from pesticide use.

• All Natura mattresses are made with wool, which wicks away moisture and releases it back to the environment. Dust mites, mold, mildew and other allergens aren’t welcome here.

• Sleeping on wool-filled bedding naturally helps steady your heart rate, which allows your body to relax into a deeper sleep.

If you have allergies, you’re intimately aware that the slightest odor can send you in a sneezing frenzy. Some chemicals are obvious with a first sniff, but many aren’t. Aside from allergies, are chemicals in your mattress really dangerous?

Heather Stapleton, a Duke University environmental chemist, says we simply don’t have enough long term data to see what happens to the human body after long-term exposure to some chemicals. “There are plenty of lab studies that show these compounds are harmful. It’s just a question of what levels people are exposed to.”

Do you suffer from allergies? We’d love to know how you get a better night’s sleep during this season.
