You've heard about the benefits
of a Futon. You are searching the internet and wondering which
one would be most suitable for you. A Natural Futon or an
Organic Futon may be
your best option for several reasons. Both are made with
natural material but the Organic Futon has certified materials that
have not been exposed to pesticides or chemical retardents etc.
What you may not know is that a typical mattress
is stuffed with polyurethane foam as well as other materials that
have probably been treated with flame retardants. Then the
mattress is covered with material that has been treated with water,
stain and wrinkle resistant chemicals. The chemicals emitted
from the polyurethane foam and all the other chemicals being
utilized can contribute to indoor air pollution in your
bedroom.
If you suffer from Asthma or Allergies then you must
pay attention to your sleeping environment. You are already
bombarded daily with environmental toxins in your air, water and
food that can significantly contribute to your Asthma and Allergy
symptoms. Some of these you can control and others you
can't. You can control your sleeping environment.
When shopping for a Natural Futon you will want to
consider price. You will find a variety of comfortable Futons
available at affordable prices. Look for companies offering
the healthiest, well made and Natural Futons available. Be
sure that the Futon is made with durable and environmentally healthy
materials. Look for Natural Futons that have been manufactured
using organic cotton, hemp or an all natural form of foam rubber or
100% wool. Synthetic foams used in many Futons can have
a profound effect on your sleeping environment due to the possible
emission of toxic gasses. Your immune system can be
compromised and, in turn, you may suffer aggravating allergic
reactions.
If you are plagued by Asthma and Allergy symptoms
then you must consider the bedding material you will use on your new
Natural Futon. An old pillow may contain a significant amount
of old skin, mold and dust mites and their dung. Millions of
these critters can survive in a mattress. A specific allergy
in dust mite droppings may cause morning headaches, runny nose,
itchy skin and puffy eyes among those who suffer from Asthma,
rhinitis, eczema and other related respiratory problems.
When shopping for bedding for your new Natural Futon
consider a wool topper that will soften your sleeping surface as
well as regulate your body's temperature. This topper will act
as a natural dust mite repellent. Use pillows made with
allergen barrier fabrics and protect your pillows with organic
cotton barrier covers that work to prevent skin cells from settling
into your pillows thereby attracting dust mites.
With the idea of Organic and Natural Futons in mind
you are on your way to sweet
dreams.
