Future of Organic Bedding

Transcription of video conversation about the Future of Organic Bedding

L: Do you think for the next generations, organic materials in their beds in their clothing in their products in their toys, do you think that will be the default, in the next generation it won’t be something you seek out with a specialized kind of weariness it will be that’s the way we make things the way we consume things.

N: To be a common standard of living, lets hope that it goes that way, and I do think it will go that way and unfortunately I believe were not going to have the choice as much and that’s fine I think the answers to our issues.

N: I mean if we were all raising sheep, I mean wool’s been around since even before the bible, there’s a reason why it keeps being there and, there again.

N: We have the means sort of like the energy questions, in bedding we have the means and you and Savvy Rest is the forefront of making sure this happens.

N: We have the means to grow the fibers we need to grow the fibers we need without harming the sheep or the earth, The sheep have one of the less impacts on earth as far as body weight and what it eats, the wool is also a byproduct of that process; Wool is a byproduct of a growing activity that is harmless to the earth and very ancient, and people know that wool needs to be shed in order for the sheep to grow more wool it’s very harmful for the sheep to keep growing that wool.

L: What do you think is the future for organic wool, we’ve noticed that our interest in our products is growing and it even has stayed steady in economic ups and downs people are expressing more and more interest in organic mattresses and wool products but it’s not mainstream.

N: I do think that it will continue to evolve I think we are just seeing the beginning of it, one thing about the green trend is that we sort of use this one out of necessity the fact that it’s more expensive is due to supply and demand if the the growth is the the supply is there which is great we can bring some of the history back to the united states the last thing I see is the market trend going into other markets and other ends of the spectrum, and it’s sort of in the upper class among buyers where as organic is a luxury item

N: Also I want to see us produce products for the people who couldn’t necessarily afford it because lets face it where do people spend more than eight hours a day at night, it’s really a sanctuary.

About organic mattresses

Our Savvy Rest Mattress is a great choice for people that want to purchase a mattress that can have a positive impact on their health, the environment, and the indoor environment where they sleep. Savvy Rest Mattresses are built  using both raw materials that are sustainable but also raw materials  that will degrade when disposed of in our precious landfills. Potentially harmful chemical Off Gassing from added fire retardants is a concern and it is found in nearly every modern mattress built today. So what is the remedy? It’s simple non toxic certified organic wool. It’s sustainable and it naturally retards flames in a manner that not only complies with all federal fire safety laws but exceeds them. Their really durable non toxic fabric cover is made from certified organic cotton and it too is very sustainable . Finally natural botanical latex rubber has it all sustainability, is non toxic, and may possibly be the most durable mattress core offered in  mattresses today.

Organic Wool Mattress Topper Pads

Traditional mattresses use many man made materials within their construction. Polyurethane foam, polyester fiber, and memory foam are just some of the contents used in the sleeping surface of your new mattress all of which are made from petrochemicals. If you are currently sleeping on one of these mattresses the fact is that your body is positioned less than one inch from possibly harmful toxins. Unfortunately this exposure comes in the form of our skin, lungs, bodies, and the air that we breathe throughout the night. So why not add an inexpensive insulating layer between you and the mattress? One of the best and cheapest solutions is are Organic Wool Topper Pads.

About Organic Wool Mattress Toppers

Organic wool toppers are available in a variety of price ranges and sizes to fit your needs and your budget. As you may or may not know one of the features that make them so popular is the fact that wool has incredible moisture wicking abilities and that can keep you toasty warm in the cold winter months and cool as a cucumber in the summer. Inherently organic wool toppers are dust mite resistant making them friendlier to those of us with dust mite allergies.

How to compare Organic Wool Toppers

There are important things that you want to look for when you buy an new mattress topper for example: Learning the benefits of organic wool.

• Topper thickness: Many companies put a lot of emphasis on this number. It can be a misleading number and is not the most important factor. As you will find toppers can come in thicknesses ranging from blanket thin, one inch, two inches, and even 3 inches and beyond this really doesn’t tell you much. The fact is you want to know the fill power.
  
• Fill Power: Fill power is not a number of fluff like topper thickness which can simply flatten out over time due to lack of fill materials are highly lofted. Fill power is the exact amount of organic wool  or other material used to fill a square foot of topper. The more wool used the higher the number, the less wasted space and air making the topper heavier and more valuable. Ask for the fill power number when purchasing a stuffed or filled topper.
  
• Cover Make Up: What the fabric cover is made of. The material cover is usually made of cotton and the wool and should be certified organic. Ask or look for the certification of purity. Be sure to know if the cover is made from certified materials such as cotton to ensure a more chemical free topper. Things to consider is the material the cover is made from and the thread count per square inch. These are a couple of key factors in determining the difference between cheaper low priced, low quality, organic toppers and long lasting, certified, high fill power, high thread count toppers.

Organic Wool Topper Care:

Do not wash, as the organic wool toppers and the organic cotton used will likely shrink.

One of the best ways to keep your topper fresh is to air it out. I know this might sound silly but it is no different then when we open our house up to air it out. Our suggestion is putting the topper in direct sunlight in the fresh air outside at least once a month.

Use an organic mattress protector over your mattress and organic topper this will protect it against soiling and staining. These can be removed and laundered.

To keep wool fibers loose, free, fluffy and comfy shake the topper vigorously and as often as possible. As mentioned previously regular sunning is best.

Use a nontoxic spot cleaner if necessary.

Benefits of Organic Wool

L: Hi Nathan thank you for joining us.

N: Thank you for having me.

L: We would like to have you explain to us and to other folks some general things about wool and organics that will be helpful to people thinking about getting a mattress.
So first of all why would you put wool in a mattress don’t you just want a blanket over you?

N: No that’s a great question and every person is going to have a different opinion.
It would be fair to say that wool has certain attributes that are going to be advantageous to anybody to use it in their bedding.

N: The reason why you are feeling that comfort is that wool has the ability to wick moisture away and basically take it from the body and move it through the fibers in a fashion that the body likes. And what that does is slow down the heart rate of the body multiple tests have been proven that wool creates the perfect micro environment.

N: You have these pockets of air that will allow you to be warm in the winter and cool in the summer, it is a misconception that wool is hot, warm, it’s true to people because they’re using wool as blankets, where as if they would use wool sweater in the summer they would find that it would stay cool. A good example is all the top suits that are made presidents to senators are wearing wool suits even during the summer-weight and that’s the key thing that it allows airflow and moisture.

N: You also have attributes such as in nature wool is more resilient fiber compared to cotton that mats down and is thicker.

N: Wool it also depends on the micron you’re using.

L: What is a micron?

N: A micron is the width of the fiber as it is measured in millionths, one millionths or two millionths, the microns we use is considered a medium course because the most resilience

L: So it stays soft and durable.

N: Wool fiber has a natural way of being resilient towards dust mites, mildew, anything of that kind of nature and it has a self cleaning mechanism to it and that’s done because on the fiber it has scales that are running on the sheath of the fiber that acts as a vending mixture that allows for the pick up of moisture and stop debris from entering.

N: The paperwork or the trail is the core idea it’s a way to be comfortable at each stage of the process, when the wool is being grown on the sheep and it goes over to the scouring mill the scouring mill is just as accountable as the farmer so it allows for accountability that this guy has to talk to this guy and so on and so forth.

Elite hotels all over the world know the advantages of having organic Egyptian cotton sheets on their beds to keep clients coming back.  These sheets provide not only a luxurious and distinct experience for their guests; they are also better for the environment.  These organic sheets are well worth another look for many different reasons.

Organic cotton is becoming very popular for many environmental reasons.

Only cotton that is grown without pesticides and other harsh chemicals can be considered an organic material.  Growers that raise organic cotton reduce the amount of chemicals that enter into the soil and also the local water table.  By not adding chemicals to the soil keeps the local vegetation safe for consumption by the local wildlife.  When chemicals are added to the soil and vegetation starts to grow in the contaminated soil, it can cause birth defects and diseases in many types of wildlife.  By keeping the soil free of chemicals helps to stop chemical residue from seeping into the local water sources, such as lakes, ponds, streams and rivers.  Contaminated water not only has detrimental effects on wildlife, it also effects the local human population too.  Growing organic cotton crops is beneficial to the surrounding environment and all creatures great and small that live there.

Allergies are on the rise among many individuals.

Vast majorities of people do not realize that the sheets that they sleep on every night can cause their allergies to flare up at bedtime.  The reason for this is because of the chemicals that are used in the growing process of the cotton that the sheets are made out of.  Organic cotton is toxin free and helps to reduce the amount of allergens that one is exposed to on a daily basis.  By not having to worry about allergies flaring up at bedtime, also helps to insure a more comfortable nights rest.

What makes organic Egyptian cotton fibers different from other cotton fibers is the length.

Organic Egyptian cotton fibers are longer then its more common counterpart.  By the fibers being longer, they also last longer and are more durable when woven into sheets.  With these types of sheets lasting longer, saves the consumer money in the long run.  Many of us have had to replace bed linens every so many years.  This is not so with organic Egyptian cotton sheets since they are more durable.  Since organic cotton is free from chemicals, the fibers also do not break as easy and do not become brittle, fray, or ball up and pill.  By being chemical free helps the linens to last longer too.

Organic Egyptian cotton sheets have high moisture absorption and are extremely breathable when compared to other types of fibers.  The surface of the linens feels smoother and cooler in the summer months or in warmer climates.  Those that suffer from skin conditions also prefer organic Egyptian cotton sheets because of the breathability next to the skin.

Are organic Egyptian cotton sheets expensive?

Purchasing a set of organic Egyptian cotton sheets will cost a little more then other types of bed linens.  These organic sheets will far outlast cheaper bed linens and will not have to be replaced after a few years.  By investing in higher quality sheets saves not only money in the long run, they help consumers to do something good for the environment every time they slip between these luxurious cotton sheets.
