When you think about it, where, and how well, you sleep are critically important to your health. No wonder so many green living advocates feel so strongly about the transition from heavily petroleum-based conventional mattresses—a toxic creation of the post-World War II petrochemical explosion—to organic mattresses. Indeed, a recent New York Times article by reporter Julie Scelzo detailed many of the leading brands, and more and more attention is being paid to this choice by consumers. With this in mind, The Doctors’ Prescription for Healthy Living has initiated a website dedicated to promoting unbiased and well documented information that shoppers need in order to make effective decisions. It is our belief that one of the most significant changes you can make to reduce our exposure to toxins and improve our overall health is to make modifications in the one location where you spend roughly one third of your lives…the bed. A healthy sleeping environment will give your body a chance to recover from the toxins and stress it is exposed to throughout the day. Given the fact that we have almost exclusive control over the furnishings, equipment, and attire we place in and near our bedrooms, it is up to us to safeguard our health by making this room as healthy and environmentally safe as possible. This website will give you the information you need to improve the health and safety of your bedroom.
