Organic Mattresses: A Better Bed
Sleep on organic mattresses.
November/December
By Nancy Nachman-Hunt
Think an organic mattress is beyond your budget? Lifekind of Grass Valley, California, makes an affordable innerspring mattress with six layers of hand-tufted, certified-organic cotton padding covered with quilted organic cotton and pure wool. All materials are sanitized using an ozone process rather than chlorine bleaching.

For Lifekind president Walt Bader, author of Toxic Bedrooms (Freedom Press, 2007), toxin-free bedding products are a personal passion. “I’m chemically sensitive, and I needed something to sleep on,” he says. Lifekind operates a North American eco-factory certified organic by Quality Assurance International (www.QAI-Inc.com). Mattresses start at about $1,000 for queen size and $1,500 for king.
