Frequently Asked Questions
What should I look for when buying non-toxic mattresses?
1. Foam type and flame retardants 2. Waterproof barriers 3. Fabric treatments 4. Off-gassing duration
What ingredients should I avoid in mattresses?
Memory foam without certifications, vinyl covers, 'gel-infused' chemicals, vague eco claims
How do I care for non-toxic mattresses?
New mattresses should air out in a well-ventilated room for several days before sleeping on them. Use a mattress protector to extend life. Rotate every 3-6 months. Wool naturally resists dust mites and regulates temperature.
What greenwashing should I watch for with mattresses?
"CertiPUR-US" means foam passed basic tests but doesn't address flame retardants or cover materials. "Eco-friendly" and "green" mattresses are usually just marketing. "Plant-based foam" is still mostly petroleum — the plant portion is often under 20%.
