The Organic Cotton Futon And Mattress
Why Should YOU Buy Organic Cotton Bedding?
It is 100% Natural. Cotton is a natural fibre that resonates harmoniously with our bodies. The same cannot be said for latex, foam and other synthetic fabrics, or even animal products such as wool. When we surround ourselves with organic cotton, we function – and sleep – at our optimum.
All Deluxe Futons and Innerspring Mattresses are manufactured with 100% certified organic cotton fabric and filling. Absolutely NO additives, chemicals, fire retardants, fumigation or any other potential harmful process are used!
A Much Healthier Product. Conventional cotton has been saturated with chemicals in the growing, picking and processing stages. These chemicals are poisonous to the human system and many of them release their gases, just by being exposed to the heat from our bodies.
Mattresses made with Certified Organic Material DO NOT Contain Harmful Chemicals. Conventional mattresses are made from synthetic materials which may be protected against fire by a range of substances such as ’Formaldehyde’ – a known carcinogen. They can be treated with other chemicals such as ‘Ultra fresh’, ‘Mould inhibitor’, ‘Anti dust-mite’, ‘moisture repellents’ and lavender, which for bedding is most likely synthetically produced. Even if it is natural you should try to avoid exposure because it is just another product which can interfere with your already low immune system.
Organic Cotton Smells Good. Sometimes when Organic cotton products are newly made the odour could be stronger than you anticipated, it is harmless and subsides.
Conventional mattresses made from latex, synthetic foam, memory foam, polyester, non-organic wool give off an odour – this is the odour of synthetic materials and chemicals – just like you will find in new cars, carpet and tyres. This may also be the case with, what is frequently referred to as ‘Natural Bedding’, as most of the filling used for these is part of a plant and most likely imported; the Australian Quarantine Inspection Service require fumigation for these imported plant products.
Many people do not even notice the smell because their senses have been damaged by the many synthetics which we breathe in every day. These odours subside over a period of time (in some instances it can take many years), but it never completely goes away. These chemicals found in synthetic materials, when heated by our body, cause the chemicals to outgas which we then inhale. They can also aggravate or cause hay fever, allergy and asthma like symptoms.
Organic cotton has a gentle natural odour which is harmless and subsides quickly.
Ideal for most Allergy, Chemical Sensitivity and Asthma Sufferers. Organic cotton is neutral, Hypoallergenic and the better alternative for those with Allergies, Chemical Sensitivity and Asthmatic tendencies.
They Breathe. Organic cotton mattresses have excellent wicking qualities, absorbing moisture at night and dissipating it by day, which in the case of the innerspring, is aided by the air circulation through the springs.
We strongly recommend you buy a natural timber slat base to use with your Organature Mattress or futon to further enhance the organic cotton’s natural qualities.
