Rest Assured
Date: August 9, 2009 | Category: Home Furnishings, The Home
The benefits of a good night’s sleep are well documented. Giving your mind and body the precious time to rejuvenate allows you to work more productively and play more enjoyably. But even the soundest night’s rest will not make you healthier if you’re inhaling dangerous toxins while you sleep.
The Keetsa Latex mattress (we found it at the Ergo Sleep Studio in Irvine, CA though the line is readily available elsewhere) is made from natural tapped rubber and organic cotton and wool (a natural fire barrier so there’s no need for added harmful fire retardant chemicals). Unlike its synthetic foam counterparts, it won’t emit dangerous toxins associated with respiratory and cardiovascular issues.
Additionally, the innovative sustainable packaging (it ships tightly rolled up and then springs to life) helps reduce the amount of shipping waste, and thus it’s overall carbon footprint. What’s more, you can sleep soundly knowing that when it’s time to buy a new mattress, your old one won’t end up rotting in a landfill (contact one of these companies to take care of the hauling and recycling process).
