There are dozens of naturally occurring plants that could be considered "organic" which contain toxins at are just as bad for you (if not worse) as some of the most toxic man-made chemicals. I am not saying that "organic" products are bad or anything like that. Simply making the point that just because one manufactuer may have put questionable materials in their product, that doesn't mean that all man-made chemicals are bad for you or that going with something labeled as "organic" is necessarily better for you. Some products marked as "organic" are great products. But, there are also a lot of crappy "organic" products out there too as many companies have learned that many consumers equate "organic" with quality & health when organic certification has absolutely nothing to do with either. And, there are some great products out there that could never be marketed as "organic" since they are made with certain materials - even though those materials are perfectly safe and are environmentally friendly.

Most companies use very mad chemicals some of which are actually banned in other countries and in clothing. Organic uses all natural wool to pass the governments test and does not have chemicals in them. Basically on all new matttesses other than organic (Latex, wool, cotton....) they are soaked in chemicals. Its worth doing the research on, it will surprise you. Same goes on new couches and furniture since a couple of year back.

I hope you don't have any clothes with spandex, polyester or other polymers in them. Those are petroleum based as well.

I don't want to go off track - we could discuss all things manmade - but I hadn't thought of the bed before, just the bedding. Worth considering since you spend about 1/3 of your life sleeping.

actually its the cigarettes that have the chemicals put into them, not the the tobacco.

Can I just throw the mattress into my compost pile after its useful life?

I recently read Bonk by Mary Roach, a tremendously informative but equally funny rundown on the current state of sex research. It included this hilarious but thought-provoking tidbit:

"Dr. Ahmed Shafik ... [published] ... a paper in European Urology in which he investigated the effects of polyester on sexual activity. Ahmed Shafik dressed lab rats in polyester pants.

"There were 75 rats. They wore their pants for one year. Shafik found that over time the ones dressed in polyester or poly-cotton blend had sex significantly less often than the rats whose slacks were cotton or wool. (Shafik thinks the reason is that polyester sets up troublesome electrostatic fields in and around the genitals. Having seen an illustration of a rat wearing the pants, I would say there’s an equal possibility that it’s simply harder to get a date when you dress funny.)"

joebeau: I gave you green just for bringing this topic up (and to negate the red you just got from LeonProfessionl [who aptly takes his name from a movie about a hitman]).

But I know nothing about pricing on organic mattresses, so could you give me a price range for a good one? Yes, I know I'm probably in for a shock....

Also, what is it about Savvy Rest and OMI that you prefer?

They start at around 1500 for a Queen Spring or $2000-$2500 for a Latex so really King a bit more. The person who advertised about OMI earlier I wold just say I returned one a year or so ago not well made(that is why although I was considering one because I was told they corrected the product I just dont know). I have been looking at Savvy Rest or Pure latex Bliss but am interested in the WJS product I spoke to the owner about earlier. They are in line with mid priced mattresse purchased anywhere but some Like OMI and Royal Pedic can cost 7-10K.

I only eat organic mattresses.

I'm allergic to wool. Does that make me non-organic?

Isn't petroleum organic?only if the dinosaurs only ate from non chemically treated fields.

well he cant burn the petroleum one silly the government makes them soak them in chemicals, thats the whole point

joebeau said:   Savvy rest make one calles a Serenity that you can customize each side with different layer of Latex, it seems like the one I am considering. I think the warrently is 20years on them and a queen was around $2500.

So, if you get a Serenity pad(ded) mattress, can you pee in it at night without everyone knowing?

I am also looking for finest organic mattresses for my bedroom furniture. I guess it can be a good deal. Can you please give information about the shipping charges and brand of these mattresses?

My poop is organic, can I sell it for $1000/pound?

my new mattress is incredible. If you guys missed out on this I got a note from the same company they have a similar special on another site mommy daddy deals dot com www.mommydaddydeals.com. Not sure if its the same or not but if you have ever considered a latex mattress I will say its well worth the money.

Price without mattresses and only adjustable bases is 500 less
