Organic Mattresses

[Inanna]

Sometime this year I want to buy a new bed - I don't enjoy sleeping on the "matrimonial bed"! For obvious reasons.

I am very committed to fair trade & eco friendly products. Not just for the planet's sake but for my own. I have been researching mattresses.

I can buy a wool one at a local store that sells organic bedding (its a great shop blessed earth is its name).

But I've also seen online latex rubber ones.

Does anyone have knowledge about this stuff?

Check out Nido Organics. She is online, but stocks all sorts of natural and fair trade bedding, including mattresses.

If she doesn't stock queen size, I am sure she would be happy to give you some info, she is very helpful.

And that is where my 'knowledge' ends!

Can't really comment on organic, but can on latex. Latex is wonderful to sleep on, but a complete pain in the behind to move. Very heavy and it has no structure, so wobbles. So just a warning, if you get one, make sure your bed is where you want it to be and is strong enough to take it.

I would like to know more on this too. We would love to change all our beds over to organic ones...I remember googling it once let me see if I kept the page......

Thanks very much The latex organic ones are almost double the wool ones hat I can see anyway... But I really do want organic toxin free. I'll keep a googlin!

Well I'm completely confused. The latex sounds like the best way to go & some reports say they can last a good 20+ years. That sounds like a good deal hey?

If anyone has any experience with organic latex let me know!
