What's inside your mattress will shock you

You know you've found something really special when you immediately want the people you love to have it, too.

That's exactly what happened with my Natural Escape Organic Mattress from My Green Mattress.

I loved it so much that I got my mom one.

Once I knew what was hiding inside her old conventional mattress I couldn't let her spend another night on it.

Here's what I found:

Walter Bader, a mattress industry expert and author of Sleep Safe in a Toxic World, had conventional mattresses independently tested.

One memory foam model came back emitting 61 different VOCs. 

Including benzene. Including naphthalene. Both known carcinogens.

He compared the lack of mattress regulation to cigarettes in the 1930s — "completely unregulated, and everyone thinks they're safe."

And formaldehyde, the same chemical used in funeral homes, is used as a cheap adhesive in traditional mattresses. It's inexpensive, so manufacturers use it freely. 

No label required. Most people have no idea it's there.

There's also:

• Fiberglass — actual glass fibers that can spread through your entire bedroom if the cover is ever removed
• PBDEs — toxic chemical flame retardants
• VOCs that off-gas while you sleep — night after night

These are on the MadeSafe Restricted List. Over 6,500 banned ingredients. 

Most mattresses on the market couldn't come close to qualifying.

I wasn't about to sleep on any of that - and I didn't want my mom to, either!

My Green Mattress does it completely differently.

Organic WOOL quilted into the cover acts as a natural flame barrier. No chemicals needed. Every mattress is hand-tufted with cords and buttons instead of toxic adhesives. Zero glue. Zero chemicals.

The Natural Escape mattress:

• Certified organic cotton & wool
• GREENGUARD Gold Certified — tested for 10,000+ VOCs
• Contains ZERO polyurethane foams
• NO flame retardants
• Handcrafted in the USA
• Dust mite & allergen resistant
