Ikea’s Skydda mattress protector is made up of 55% lyocell and 45% cotton, which makes the pad ultra breathable and absorbent.

Its filling is of 50% polyester and 50% modal, which also helps a lot with absorption.

The protector is effective in keeping away stains and dirt from seeping through the actual mattress . Its elastic corners keep it in place, but then it’s also easier to remove and clean when needed.

Price is only $69.99 at Ikea.

PBDE-free means the absence of toxic and flammable chemicals likely found on many home items like carpets, couches, tv screens and mattresses. It was mostly used in foam furniture before studies in 2005 have proven how much widespread it affects the health of a person. Since then many foam mattresses are manufactured PBDE-free. And while foam mattresses aren’t considered truly organic, per se, those PBDE-free mattresses from Ikea are good and very affordable options.

Ikea’s PBDE-free foam mattresses are priced between $39.99 to 79.99. If one cannot splurge on a truly organic mattress but is very concerned for their health, this should really be a very good choice.

Here’s a list of companies that sell PBDE Free Bed Products.

What are PBDEs?
