[Greenbuilding] Green mattresses

[Spriggs, Laura]

I agree, great timing on the question - GREENGUARD Environmental Institute (GEI) just certified the first bedding products for low chemical emissions.  Manufactured by Lifekind/Organic Mattresses Inc. (OMI), products can be found at www.greenguard.org, by selecting the Find Products tab.  So far, Lifekind/OMI is the only manufacturer to meet the strict standard established by GEI for bedding materials.

Good timing on the question. We just received ours last weekend after 
extensive research on both eco and health and cost factors. (Many of 
the green and heathy mattresses can get quite expensive, some over 
$2000.) We ended up purchasing from theorganicmattressstore.com. The 
guys there were very helpful in making choices and we ended spending 
much less than most of the other eco/healthy alternatives we checked out.

It's already helping my wife's muscle problems (as well as our dog's 
itchiness!).
