For
those of you who love sleep, but can’t seem to get enough of it, it may not
just be your hectic schedules and laundry lists that are keeping you awake at
night. If your mattress was treated with
flame-retardant chemicals called polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE), your
body may be reacting to the harmful effects of PBDEs. Health groups have long rallied to have these
chemicals banned from being used on bedding material, which can accumulate in
breast milk and other tissues over a period of time.

While
replacing your mattress might seem like a hefty investment, considering that we
spend one-third of our lives sleeping, it’s an investment that will pay off in
the long
run. Natural latex and organic
cotton mattresses are good alternatives, with latex offering the dual benefit
of protecting you from dust mites, which is the second-leading cause of
allergies after pollen. A good night’s
sleep is just a mattress away at $1,204 and up at www.thecleanbedroom.com
