Latex Foam vs. Memory Foam

Everyone wants and needs a good nights sleep. But what price are we willing to pay? I'm not talking about money, I'm talking about your health. My children range in age from 4-12 and each of them has had their faces buried in all natural latex foam mattresses since they were brought home from hospital. Thank God I made the right decision. But how many out there are aware of the toxicity of the mattress you are sleeping on? Not many I bet.

If you are experiencing headaches, sluggishness, perhaps even vomiting, did you know it could be your mattress? While mattresses were previously made of mostly untreated natural materials, the majority of mattresses today are made using a variety of petroleum based chemicals, foams, plastics and controversial flame retardants. Research and personal accounts suggest people can in fact become ill by repeated and continuous exposure to the low level of chemicals continuously emitted during the sleep process.

The situation is dramatically compounded by the fact that sleeping on a bed or chemically manufactured pillow places the individual in extremely close proximity to the chemical source.
This direct contact means that concentrations of chemicals are many, many times higher than they would be if the source was at a greater distance, and thereby becoming less harmful because of dilution.

Research is now available showing that chemicals used in bed manufacturing are in fact evaporating and entering into the air. Just google "out-gassing" to see what I'm talking about.
Some of these are documented carcinogenic and mutagenic compounds. The next important step is to make public any personal accounts of illnesses developing after mattress use. Common petroleum based chemicals have been clearly shown to have the ability to weaken or damage the immune and nervous system. Autoimmune disorders have also been linked with exposure to petroleum-based chemicals and have been found to be the underlying etiology of many common health problems today (soft tissue damage, arthritis, etc.)

As an industry professional I have vowed to make sure that every mattress we manufacture is free of harmful chemicals. Our 100% all natural latex mattresses are the purest sleeping surface you can find anywhere. I am sick and tired of my industry making people sick and tired. If everyone would just do their part we can clean this mess up. Is that going to happen? No way. Not until someone big, like S---y, S---a, S-----s or S----g A-r gets nailed. It's cheaper to do it chemically.

Ever wonder what that terrible smell was on that memory foam pillow you just bought at your membership warehouse? Or that convoluted foam mattress topper? Ah, that's the smell of Chinese manufacturing with no environmental restrictions. Just look at what people are saying about memory foam and the effects it's had on them at Chem-Tox.com. If reading those reports don't bother you then something is very very wrong.

Our latex foam mattresses are environmentally friendly and won't break the bank. Please check out our products at Mattresses.net

In doing my research online I see that most of my competitors are charging a huge premium for all natural mattresses. God bless them one and all. Why don't we just screw everybody who wants to be healthy. Doctors are doing it, insurance companies are doing it, vitamin stores are doing it to. Why not the mattress industry too?

I recently returned from an industry trade show in Las Vegas where I was amazed at all the so-called "green" products that were out there. I inquired about wholesale pricing on several of the beds that I found. My typical response was "$2500 for this, what's it made of- gold"? The point is- you are about to be shocked when you walk into your local mattress store and ask for an all natural mattress. $5000 will not be uncommon. You can either take it in the shorts or spend a little time online shopping for a better deal. Hopefully you will end up on our site and see how you will get the most bang for your buck.
