Green Memory Foam Mattresses

Green Memory Foam mattresses are as eco-friendly as they are body-friendly.
But, how can a Memory Foam mattress be environmentally conscious? Simple. A "green" memory foam mattress is made from plant based materials. Because of that, these mattresses are more breathable and help support environmental sustainability by minimizing harmful emissions from production.
Green Memory Foam mattresses combine plant-based raw material with recycled foam polymers. There is a lower carbon footprint associated with Green Memory Foam because the plant material used is grown in Asia without deforestation and the byproduct is used as cattle food ensuring that there is no raw material waste. In addition, the foam is made with activated carbon scrubbers that support clean-air manufacturing and a fiber based fire retardant is used.
These natural mattresses are hypo-allergenic and anti-microbial. It is safe even for asthma and hay fever sufferers who may be sensitive to dust or synthetics. Natural fibers and materials “breathe” better and absorb water more efficiently. That is done with a natural open cell structure of the memory foam that provides for flowing air movement, allowing the mattress to breathe and draw body heat away. Latent cooling, where the mattress absorbs heat through a multi-stage process, is another benefit of natural memory foam.
There is still another great thing about Green Memory Foam mattresses. With the latest technology driving this growing sector of the mattress industry, the much-sought-after Memory Foam feel does not have to be sacrificed in order to achieve environmental piece of mind. Green Memory Foam mattresses are still comprised of high density Memory Foam that provides the right amount of support for back, stomach and side sleepers while eliminating pressure points.
Green mattresses are perfect for people with sensitive skin or allergies and those who just want to reduce their carbon footprint. Either way, a Green Memory Foam mattress investment will pay-off for the consumer and the environment.
