A Healthy Sleep With A Memory Foam Organic Mattress

These days I am far more aware of chemicals in our environment than ever before, not just in our food but also our homes. Take a bed for instance, we spend approximately a third of our life sleeping with our faces buried into our pillow or mattress breathing in whatever toxins they may be giving off. Do we really know what nasty chemicals might be lurking in our mattress or what it may do to our health long term? Apparently a mattress should be replaced every 5-7 years, so with my own mattress coming close to its sell by date and wanting a healthy alternative, I have been researching a super comfortable, safe replacement.

One phrase that kept coming up in my search for comfort was, 'Memory foam mattress', apparently this style of mattress eliminates pressure points by correctly aligning your neck and shoulders. A better sleep position means less or no pain and a much improved sleep. We all know that a good nights sleep not only recharges our body but reduces stress. It makes sense if a mattress molds to our body, that there would be far less pressure and more comfort. So, if this is one of the most comfortable mattress designs, is there a healthy alternative? With a little more research I came across a company called Zleeps who specialise in memory foam mattresses and include a chemical free, organic memory foam mattress in their range. Zleeps offer an amazing 60 night trial on their entire range, unfortunately they don't have a branch in New Zealand but for those of you in the UK, all I can say is "lucky you!" For me, I have decided organic and memory foam is definitely the way to go, so I will be sourcing a local product when I re-decorate my bedroom.
