Thousands of mattresses end up at the landfill each day. They pile up because theyâre not made of materials that break down. ![]()
The Organically Green Store sells organic mattresses and bedding.
All natural materials have a natural enzyme to go with it so they can break down naturally in the environment when their time is ready. Your petroleum products do not have that
There is only a handful of facilities in the U.S. that even try to recycle conventional mattresses.
All the materials in these âgreenâ bedding and pillows come from Kapok to organic cotton and wool. Theyâre completely renewable and sustainable.
Youâll like sleeping on these organic mattresses.
It’s very breathable. All natural materials breathe. We lose a pint of moisture every night when we sleep. Where does that go…into your spongy mattress. All of this breathes. It keeps your bed very dry and healthy, resistant to dust mites, mold and mildew. There’s no chemicals, no hazardous PBDEs and you’re not taking that in your lungs or your pores at night so it’s a very healthy sleep system as well..
Itâs hoped that over the next 30 to 40 years when these mattresses lifespan is complete, there will be processes to recycle the material if they’re separated.Â
The wool, the organic cotton, and the rubber from the rubber trees can be broken down so the mattress won’t take up landfill space.
