Ugly looking things bed bugs…worse than cockroaches. After reading this I am so sorry we spent thousands of dollars last year on a synthetic mattress. Thinking we were doing the right thing for our posture we didn’t take other health aspects into account .

Thank you for the useful information! Even though don’t have any allergies, I don’t like the idea of dust mites in my bed.. I’ve bought organic wool blanket… and it feels so different from the synthetic one I had before… it keeps me warm, but not sweaty and not heavy. I may also consider buying a mattress zip protector soon.

Believe it or not wool is not best. Here’s why.

Animal fibers need to be washed annually unlike. Imaging cutting off you hair and all you friend’s hair, putting it in a duvet cover and sleeping on it. Unless they’re chemically treated to ward off the little critters you’d need to wash it every once in a while . Most mattress do NOT make their wool toppers washable. Animals fibers should NOT be in a mattress unless their removable and washable.

This post was definitely very informational in my quest for organic mattresses and bedding. I’m quickly learning just how many things can be taken care of by making the switch to organic mattresses, like allergies and frequent headaches. I’ve been looking into Savvy Rest organic mattress and have heard nothing but good feedback. If you or any readers have any further advice about organics, I’m all ears!

Good job on using the soap nuts for cleaning. They are the best eco-friendly detergent going.

This is a great blog post. People spend about 1/3 of their day in their bed. It is the utmost importance to have the bed be a clean and healthy resting place.

Your bedding has as much to do with chemical free sleeping as your bed. Covered in natural, organic wool and bamboo fabrics, wool filled bedding is antimicrobial, unfriendly to dust mites, and does not off gas.

I’m also allergic to dust mites… I never completely switched over to an organic mattress or organic pillow, but I did get a specialized pillow-case to wrap around my pillow. This helped, but took a little getting used too.

I also started changing out my sheets more frequently. This also seemed to help my allergies against dust mites.
