MacChemicals in your Bed?
November 20th 2006 02:16
I am trying to buy a new bed, and it is a scary thing. I am learning that beds are filled with toxic Polyeurethane and other materials that "off-gas", which means that you are exposed to dangerous fumes for the first few years you own the new bed. And then because of the flammable nature of these materials, they are sprayed with really toxic fire retardants!
Going to sleep is risky business with these beds!
Luckily, there are many alterternatives available online today.

They offer beds made completly with organic cotton, or all natural wool, or recycled poly-fiber. These materials are naturally less flammable, so no toxic fire-retardants, and since these are chemical free substances, no off-gassing!
These beds are more expensive, but I personally think my health is worth it. Have you heard the term, "richest guy in the graveyard' ?
We modern day humans have so many pollutants to contend with in this world, we don't need them in our bedroom!
