Most mattresses are made from petroleum based derivitives.

Did you know that one of the things that make our current mattresses so flammable is their petroleum based composition? Polyfoams are highly flammable and in a day and age when we are trying to reduce our dependency on foreign oil, it might be a good idea to pay attention to the next mattress your purchase.
Consider sleeping green. You can sleep greener and cleaner by selecting a new mattress utilizing soy based and latex foams. Complete the greening of your new bed by choosing a natural bamboo or organic cotton cover that is both naturally hypoallergenic and more breathable. Typically these products may cost you a little more, but they will pay great dividends in the long run, greatly overshadowing the investment. Isn't it time you started sleeping green?
