Why Organic?

Why Use Organic Products?

  • There are more than 200 chemicals used in the production of textiles used in 90% of conventionally made mattresses, bedding and sleepwear, many of which are known to be toxic or carcinogenic
  • To comply with U.S. fire safety regulations, most mattress makers use chemical rather than natural fire retardants simply because they are cheaper to produce. Some of these toxins include: Boric Acid (yes, the Roach Killer), Formaldehyde (yes, the stuff used to preserve dead bodies and organs), Antimony Trioxide, Brominates, Vinylidiene Chloride, zinc Borate, and Melamine. These chemicals off-gas for the lifetime of the mattress and can cause health problems ranging from respiratory distress to cancer.
  • Unintentional ingestion of toxic household chemicals is associated with an annual average of 39 deaths to children under age 5, and an estimated 87,700 children treated in hospital emergency rooms.
  • Commercial cleaning companies are under no legal obligation to research how their products might harm human health.
  • An EPA study concluded that the toxic chemicals in household cleaners are 3 times more likely to cause cancer than outdoor air.
  • A study found that woman at home are at a 54% higher risk of developing cancer then women who work outside the home. The study concluded that this is a direct result of the chemicals in household products.
