Savvy Rest Organic Cotton Sheets

What is “Organic?”

We see the word all the time when shopping for fruits and vegetables at the grocery store or at the local farmers’ market. Although a mattress is not a cucumber, the word “organic” carries the same important health standards. This means no pesticides, synthetic ingredients, or harsh chemicals are used in the making (or growing) of a product. For example, Savvy Rest’s Dunlop latex is certified organic by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). The rubber tree sap that is used to make Savvy Rest’s Dunlop latex comes from a supplier who follows USDA guidelines. 

We Sleep…A Lot

We sleep for about a third of our lives—that’s a significant amount of time. You may not use your toaster or your vacuum cleaner everyday, but you definitely use your mattress. When you sleep at night, you’re breathing in everything around you and if your mattress is made of synthetic foam, you’re breathing in harmful toxins through dust particles. You know what is even more alarming? Children breathe in these toxins at a rate that is five times greater than adults.

Chemicals and Your Skin

It’s also important to think about what your skin comes into contact with which is why Savvy Rest always use organic cotton. Chemicals can irritate the skin, especially if you have sensitive skin, and the majority of cotton is unfortunately heavily treated with pesticides. Sunscreen and moisturizers are obviously imperative for healthy skin but so are the types of materials we touch every day (and night!).
