Austin Natural Mattress

What’s important about sleeping on an organic mattress? Simple. Non-organic mattresses emit some pretty nasty chemicals into the surrounding air. For example, one popular mattress brand that was tested contained 64 volatile compounds, including 9 human carcinogens. One of the reasons for this is to adhere to fire-retardant standards that state a mattress must withstand an open flame without combustion for 30 minutes. Most mattress manufacturers achieve these standards using toxic chemicals to protect the material.
