Question from Celestine
I am going toward a metal-free bed–now in the research phase.
The Shepherd’s Dream bed looks interesting! But I like comfort! I do have a featherbed, and that would help.
I looked on Overstock.com and found a 2-inch mattress topper that was alleged to be all natural latex, from Sri Lanka.
Judging from earlier comments on this blog, I know it would be hard to make a whole mattress with 100% natural latex–but maybe if it is only 2 inches it really IS all natural latex.
The company is E.C.O. Has anyone had experience with this or a similar product? Or with that company?
Does anyone have a Shepherd’s Dream bed that has been added to to make it more comfortable? I know they have the option of latex-covered slats, and I know that ISN”T all natural latex–but may not be a problem. (I’d rather not have chemical outgassing, not because I’d have an immediate reaction but because I want a green bed that comforts and heals!) I would be apt to get the latex slats, even if I had to let them breathe as Debra did.
Debra’s Answer
Here’s the thing about latex. Be VERY careful. It could be all natural latex and have toxic chemicals used to make it into foam. There needs to be more research done on this. A lot of people are allergic to the latex itself as well.
I have no experience with this particular company. Readers?
