Synthetic materials reflect heat and moisture

The Need of Good Bed Material

When we sleep in the night, the body renews the physical and psychic energy used during the day and discards metabolic waste. The bed materials must enable rest, healing and revitalization.
The bed is one of the most crucial assets for a healthy life. It must not cause any hurdle to the natural processes of the body.

State of Heat and Moisture

The heat stored in the synthetic materials causes evaporation of volatile chemicals, which are inhaled by the sleeping person. They are also absorbed inside the skin. Evaporation of formaldehyde (a volatile chemical) gives rise to headache, insomnia, skin rashes and respiratory problems. It is concluded that the human body has 500 more chemicals than it had a century ago. A sleeping person discharges a pint of water in 8 hours. Synthetic materials cannot absorb moisture and this is trapped in them. The growth of microbes is facilitated in these areas. There is a need for materials that will quickly absorb the moisture and then release it into the environment and become dry. Wool and cotton are such materials. They decrease the heartbeats and maintain body temperature. When kept in sunlight, the microbes and dust mites are destroyed. Synthetic materials also increase the possibility of allergy to certain chemicals. Synthetic materials (like polyester) contain chemicals and generate electrostatic charge. There is a possibility of getting an electric shock. Also during sleep we are surrounded by electrostatic charge, which contains more positively charged particles than negative ones. This is in contrast with nature. Synthetic materials cannot be biodegraded and returned back to the environment. They add up to the waste in landfills.

Use of Non-Synthetic materials

Due to the various disadvantages mentioned above, beds are made entirely of non-synthetic materials like cotton, lambs wool, horsehair and cashmere. They are made by hand and provide a non-chemical sleep atmosphere. Latex mattresses also contain 40% synthetic materials. But pure natural latex resists bacteria, dust mites and molds. If wool or fabric covers it it becomes unnecessary to add chemical flame-retardants. But the cost of natural fiber mattresses is comparable to the upper range of synthetic mattresses. Although they are exorbitant, they are more durable than synthetic ones.
