- lignuist 14y agoWe spend a lot of time in our beds (at least we should), so we should take everything about it very serious! We recently switched to a bed that strictly consists of natural materials like wood, latex, cotton and natural rubber. Absolutely no metal and no toxic additives. Costs as much as our car, but is worth every cent. Sleeping feels like holiday now. I also can smell the difference.
- walkon 14y agoDo you have a link to info on such beds?
- lignuist 14y agoIt is called "Relax" and is manufactured by an austrian company. http://www.relax-bettsysteme.at/en http://www.relax-bettsysteme.at/en
- rfzabick 14y agoAre you in the states? How did you order it? I could only find a link for finding dealers in Europe.
- lignuist 14y agoNo, I'm in the EU and bought it from a local dealer. However, I wouldn't order such a bed without having tested it. There are some parameters like the thickness and the softness of the mattress that should be adjusted to your needs, but maybe the Manufacturer ships also to the US when they get an order.
- doktrin 14y agoI'm surprised this was only mentioned so tangentially. Memory foam mattresses are quite popular, and I would wager their users spend considerably more time there than on a couch.
