I'll be honest about my favorite thing to do right now. Sleep.
I cannot wait to get into bed at night.
I sleep on the Natural Escape from My Green Mattress. Organic cotton, soft and cool and cozy in a way I didn't know a mattress could be. I get in and I don't want to be anywhere else.
That comfort is a big reason I sleep so well on it. And getting enough good quality sleep is one of the most important things I do for my health.
Here are a few things I do to get a good night's sleep:
Aim for 8 to 9 hours. Not 6 with a weekend catch-up. The repair work runs on consistency, and the body does most of it in the deep sleep you only reach when you're not cutting the night short.
Get off the screens before bed. The light tells your brain it's still daytime and holds off the melatonin that's supposed to put you under.
Skip the big late meal. Digestion keeps you in light sleep, out of the deep stages that matter.
Make the room cool, dark, and quiet. Your body temperature has to drop to reach deep sleep, so cool gets you there and dark and quiet keeps you down.
Sleep on something you actually want to get into. When the surface is genuinely comfortable, cool and soft instead of hot and sagging, you get in earlier and stay down longer. We spend about a third of our lives in bed, so what you sleep on really matters.
You may not think about what's actually inside their mattress. But many are made with polyurethane foam, flame-retardant chemicals, and synthetic adhesives that can off-gas while you sleep. And you're breathing that air for 8+ hours a night.
That's why I chose the Natural Escape:
- GOTS certified organic cotton and wool
- GOLS certified organic latex
- GREENGUARD Gold Certified, tested for 10,000+ VOCs
- Zero polyurethane foam
- No flame retardants
The organic wool quilted into the cover works as a natural flame barrier, so there's no need for the sprayed-on chemicals most mattresses use to pass flammability rules. Every one is hand-tufted with cords and buttons instead of glue.
I love knowing I'm sleeping on a mattress made with organic materials AND it's the most comfortable bed I've ever owned.
