Benefits to Owning An Organic Mattress
- Great for those suffering from allergies. A standard mattress largely have synthetic polyurethane foam in it, and it is too much for a people with sensitivities.
- It is 100% made of natural products like natural latex, natural wool and other non-chemically manufactured materials.
- It is environment friendly.
- It is safe for families with children.
- It is most comfortable to sleep on, even in warm weathers because it is made of natural breathable materials.
Buyer beware: Some manufacturers claim to have an organic mattress, when in fact these are treated with formaldehyde (fire retardant substance). You may also find organic mattresses with plastic coats to keep it waterproof. A real organic mattress is 100% all natural.

Dust mites are the main trigger to stimute asthma, and asthma is rapidly increasing in the United States. You probably do not fear them for the simple fact that they are so small that you cannot see them with the human eye. They may be microscopic, but they are VERY hazardous to your heath.

Q: Can mattress cleaning cure my allergy or asthma? Can it prevent me from getting these?
A: No, it will not cure you because these are life-long diseases. We can, however, reduce symptoms and make your allergies and asthma much better. Many customers have reported having no symtpoms after getting regular cleanings. Our cleaning system can not guarantee that allergies or asthma will not develop, but we can guarantee that the likelihood of developing these with our treatments will be severely decreased.
Q: How bad can the infestation of dust mites be?
A: Keep in mind, there could also be dangerous fungi, bacteria, pet dander, mold, and more! After 10 years, the weight of the average mattress doubles due to dust mite infestation!!! This includes dead and decaying bodys, and feces.
Q: Where do dust mites, and other harmful allergens live?
A: Dust mites are the most prevalent in mattresses, but they are still thriving in curtains, pillows, blankets, carpet, clothing, toys, furniture, and more! We will give you advice on how to eliminate all of these threats.
Q: Can I just clean my bed myself?
A: It is impossible to remove all microscopic dust mites without specialized equipment. In fact, cleaning by a non-professional can actualy bring your allergens out from where they were hiding and cause even more pollution. We use state of the art, high-tech equipment to do our cleaning. The safest way is to have your mattresses cleaned by professionals, such as The Bed Med. You can take helpful measures to reduce dust mites between cleanings, and we will gladly explain them to you.
Q: Will my sheets and pillow case protect me from dust mites and other dangers?
A: No!! Sheets protect you just as much as laying on a fish net at the beach would protect you from sand. Dust mites come through the sheets. They are microscopic, so they can easily fit through the tiniest of holes in your sheets and pillow cases.
Q: Can’t I just buy special allergy free items to help with dust mites, and indoor allergens?
A: First of all, you will also need to purchase special sheets, pillow cases, vacuums, filters, beds, etc…which will cost a lot of money (Hundreds). These items combined will not give you the cleanliness of one of our cleanings. The problem is in the tiny particles from the dust mites that are extremely light-weight and the act of simply “fluffing” a pilow, or rolling over at night while sleeping (this occurs on average 50-60 times per night) cause the particles to become airborne and remain airborne for up to 2 hours while circulating throughout a home and settling on ALL furnishings. This negates the usefulness of dust mite-proof mattress covers and bedding. Also, dust mites and other dangers lurk in your carpet, curtains, furniture, and many other places. In fact, protective sheets, and pillow cases have been proven ineffective by leading scientists, as reported in the New England Journal of Medicine!
Q: Why did I not know about the dangers of indoor allergens, and dust mites, or that I could get my mattress sanitized?
A: The most obvious answer is that you cannot actually see the dangers with the naked eye. The research of the negative effects of dust mites is fairly new. Mattress cleaning has recently become a HUGE phenomenon in Europe, and it will be hitting the United States soon. There were no mattress cleaning services in Europe 12 years ago, and now there are over 4,000!
