Thanks, Jane

Hi Jane,

You, certainly, can’t go wrong with an organic mattress, when it comes to avoiding chemical off gassing.

However, it’s a mistake to assume that an organic mattress will wear well.

How a mattress wears depends on the quality of the components.

And, going full organic ends up being more expensive than is necessary.

Wool, for instance, requires that the sheep be fed an organic diet for the wool to be deemed organic.

The interest in organic mattresses, over recent years, has become a knee-jerk reaction because of all the memory foam being used in most of today’s mattresses.

Memory foam consists of 61 different chemicals. Several of those chemicals are highly toxic.

If you avoid mattresses made with memory foam, you’re already ahead of the problem.

If you shop for mattresses that are using natural materials, they don’t need to be organic in order to avoid the chemical off gassing that is so common with most mattresses, including all of the name brands.

The Wolf Mattresses are upholstered with Natural Plant-Based Poly Foam.
