“If any testing was done it would have been on a conventional mattress, not on an organic cotton mattress. Any adverse re-action experienced by a person sleeping on a conventional mattress would more likely have been provoked by the chemicals in the mattress outgassing rather than the springs. Over the last 18 years I myself, have done a lot of testing on organic cotton mattresses with and without springs, (futons) and it made no difference to my health. At least, a combined total, 16 of those years I have used the innerspring and in fact my health has improved having changed over to a totally Organic Cotton Bedroom.”
“When I became ‘unwell’ with MCS (Multiple Chemical Sensitivity) I started to research Building Biology. Most, if not all they claim made sense and having adopted these ideas myself when renovating our home, I can confirm to be correct. From my own experience though I found no difference between sleeping on a futon (without springs) or on an innerspring mattress (with springs).” – Peter Byl (CEO and Founder of Organature Australia)
Some people will argue this point, however we have clients who thought that springs would/did cause them problems, but found after they purchased the Organature® 100% Certified Organic Cotton they slept like they had not slept for a long time :-)
