The Rise of Natural Mattress: Embracing Sustainability and Comfort in Sleep
In recent years, the mattress industry has seen a significant shift towards sustainability and health-conscious choices, with natural mattresses emerging as a preferred option for eco-aware consumers.
These mattresses, renowned for their use of organic and natural materials, not only support environmental sustainability but also offer numerous health benefits, marking a departure from traditional synthetic bedding.
What Defines a Natural Mattress?
A natural mattress typically incorporates materials sourced from nature, such as organic cotton, natural latex, and wool. These materials are favoured for their biodegradability and minimal environmental footprint.
Natural latex, a primary component in many eco-friendly mattresses, is derived from the sap of rubber trees. It is highly prized for its durability, comfort, and hypoallergenic properties. Moreover, natural latex is inherently resistant to dust mites and mould, making it an excellent choice for allergy sufferers. The production process of natural latex also emphasises sustainable harvesting methods that contribute to the preservation of forests and the reduction of carbon footprints.
Benefits of Organic Materials
The use of organic cotton and wool in natural mattresses adds another layer of comfort and sustainability. Organic cotton is grown without harmful pesticides or synthetic fertilisers, promoting a healthier ecosystem and reducing the overall toxic load on the environment.
Similarly, wool used in these mattresses is often sourced from sheep raised on organic feed and without the use of antibiotics or growth hormones, ensuring a natural product free from chemical residues.
Wool is particularly noted for its temperature-regulating properties, keeping sleepers warm in winter and cool in summer. This natural fibre also has excellent moisture-wicking capabilities, contributing to a dry and comfortable sleep environment.
Supporting Health and Environment
Switching to a natural mattress can significantly impact one's health and the planet. These mattresses support a non-toxic lifestyle while providing superior comfort and durability. They are an investment in personal health and the environment, aligning with the values of consumers who prioritise sustainability and wellness.
Innovative Designs in Natural Mattresses: The Spinal Design® Low Profile
One standout example in the realm of natural mattresses is the Spinal Design® Low Profile. This innovative product features 10cm German zoned individually encapsulated springs that dynamically respond to both your weight and body profile as well as your partner's.

had thoughts about Dream being able to sleep, how soft and human he would look. for your consideration:
Hob announced his arrival from work with a long sigh, heavy with exhaustion, and leaned into the door as he opened it and stepped into his flat. He dropped his keys in the little bowl and toed off his shoes. He had just shrugged off his messenger bag when he noticed a pair of large black boots in the living room, stark against his off-white rug. They were about a meter apart, like they’d been kicked off or tossed aside without a second thought.
With one brow raised, eyes scrupulous, Hob deposited his bag on the couch and bent down to pick up first one boot, then the other, tucking them together and neatly placing them on the wooden floor next to a bookshelf.
“Dream?” Hob called out, straightening up and casting his gaze upon the room. It wasn’t like Dream, when he paid surprise visits, to not immediately be within eyesight of the door, let alone leave his shoes haphazardly on the carpet.
Hob’s eyes landed on the entryway of the hall, spotting Dream’s thick, long coat in a heap on the center of the floor. Worry began to creep in as Hob slowly stepped up to Dream’s mystical coat, his pulse thrumming under his skin. He stooped down, grabbing it by the collar and brushing it off with his other hand. The material felt luxurious in Hob’s hands, soft like cashmere or shahtoosh, but also durable– something akin to wool or even canvas. Hob’s fingers caressed the fabric, feeling the lip of the tall collar between his thumb and fingers.
Gently folding the coat over one arm, Hob continued down the hall, stepping softly, carefully.
Hob’s bedroom door was open, the rays of the setting sun streamed in through the window and lit up the entryway, revealing more dark clothes in a jumble leading into the room.
Swallowing, lips parting, Hob bent down once more to collect Dream’s t-shirt, his pants and, following the line of mayhem, his socks, taking them all into his arms. Hob wasn’t sure what he expected to see when he finally straightened up and turned, but it certainly wasn’t this.
Hob almost dropped all the clothes he had spent carefully collecting, his mouth going dry.
There was a considerable, person-sized lump in Hob’s bed, buried under his thick gray comforter. The only indication that it was indeed Dream laying in Hob’s bed, was the mane of wild dark hair poking out from the mass of linens.
Hob took a step forward, then another, crushing the pile of clothes to his chest as he walked around the bed, his gaze transfixed to the top of Dream’s head– a smattering of black ink spilled on his white pillow. He held his breath as he finally came to face Dream, the only part of him sticking out was his nose and eyes, Dream’s impossibly long lashes draped down, threatening to brush the tops of his cheeks.
Hob felt his jaw drop, lips parting in wonder at this ethereal creature in his bed.
Dream was sleeping.
Or… it looked like he was sleeping. The shape of him steadily rose and fell, imitating breath that Hob knew Dream didn’t need. Hob didn’t think Dream needed sleep, either… or was even capable of it. Was Dream sick? Had he been injured?
Hob quietly deposited the bundle of clothes into a wicker chair in the corner of his room, turning back to Dream and leaning over him, slowly pressing one hand into the mattress next to him, and bringing the other up to lay it against Dream’s forehead.
Hob immediately felt foolish, of course Dream didn’t get sick, he’d nearly beaten it into Hob by now, how Endless never fall ill (not in the way humans do, apparently), but Dream did actually feel quite warm. Hob moved his hand from underneath Dream’s soft fringe, grazing his fingers down the side of his head, brushing the shell of his ear, cheekbone, and across his pointed nose, unable to get any further with the blanket folded up tight around half his face.
With his heart lighter than it’d felt in a long time, Hob couldn’t resist carefully hooking his fingers around the edge of the comforter, leaning in close as he pulled it down to expose Dream’s lips and chin. He looked softer, like this– human and vulnerable. There’s a trust here, Hob knows, his chest tightening, as his knuckles caress down the line of Dream’s jaw, free of blemishes and marble smooth. Hob swallowed again, his eyes flicking down in unrestricted interest at the line of Dream’s concealed body, cocooned in creamy grays. He looked back up, focusing on plush lips that are too red for Dream’s alabaster skin, like they’d been bitten.
Hob’s own teeth pull on his bottom lip, moving his hand to press a thumb against that mouth, barely touching, like a paint brush, dragging it from corner to corner.
“What are you doing?”
Hob huffed a surprised laugh, but didn’t remove his hand. Dream’s voice was lower than usual, thick, and rumbly, pulled from a deep slumber.
“Checking your temperature,” Hob answered in a whisper. His breath caught in his throat as Dream’s eyelids fluttered open, crystal blue eyes focusing right on him.
Christ almighty, he was gorgeous. Hob still couldn’t believe it sometimes, that he was allowed to see this, to be regarded by such beauty, such a divine entity. That he could call Dream his, and be confident in the knowledge that he was Dream’s, too. Hob felt himself begin to shake, his thumb was still at Dream’s lips, which had parted slightly when he’d spoken, his hot breath hitting Hob and causing something both carnal and pure to race through his blood, something devotional.
“You’re quite warm,” Hob tried again. Dream hadn’t spoken, only watched him, like he was waiting for something.
“Yes,” Dream’s voice ran over Hob in that velvety way of his; a warm tide crashing over him and lifting Hob up.
“I was seeking warmth. You weren’t home, and I know how pleasant you are after a long rest.”
“Pleasant?” Hob’s lips curled in a smile, distractedly pressing his thumb a little harder against Dream’s bottom lip.
“Tepid.” Dreams amended, parting his lips and allowing Hob’s thumb access.
Hob gasped softly as Dream bit down, his eyes blazing now, the black of his iris growing so there was no more blue. Hob hummed, his fingers curled around Dream’s chin, tilting it up.
There’s a tongue that swipes the tip of his thumb and Hob knows he’s lost, feigning nonchalance was never his strong suit when it came to this entity in his bed. His heart crashes against his ribs and Hob’s sure Dream can hear it, can hear the desire there.
A bare arm slips out from the pile of gray and latches onto Hob’s bicep, pulling him down. Hob goes along with a smile, getting one knee up on the bed, then the other, dislodging his fingers from Dream’s face to steady himself.
They lift the comforter together, allowing Hob to crawl in next to Dream. The shock of the sudden temperature hike against Dream’s bare skin makes Hob’s breath catch, desperately wishing he’d taken his clothes off first.
“Christ, Dream it’s like a furnace under here.” He’s never felt Dream radiate so much heat before. He truly was learning something new about this man– Endless, every day.
Dream’s long arm pulls the blanket back down, going around Hob’s middle and tucking it under him, coaxing Hob to be flush against his sinew body, usually firm with restrained strength, now soft from sleep. Dream’s chin tilts down, lips brushing Hob’s forehead.
“Could be hotter,” he murmurs, lips traveling down, his sharp nose nudging against Hob’s face, encouraging him to meet him evenly.
Hob is already panting, he’s sure he’s already sweating too, but he meets Dream’s mouth eagerly, pressing hard, getting his hand back on his face to cup Dream’s jaw.
“Well,” Hob pants as Dream wetly breaks the kiss, pressing his lips instead up Hob’s face and into his hairline. “I certainly wasn’t expecting this today.”
Dream hums, the sound reverberating down his body and tickling Hob’s senses.
“I’m pleased I can still surprise you.”
#dreamling#hob gadling#dream x hob#dream of the endless#my writing#inspired by this back and forth with mae on the dreamling discord server#which was just us calmly going over how soft and snuggly and heavy Dream would sleep#(if he were able to. and he SHOULD be able to gdi)#i was gonna write some spice but chickened out#something about Dream seeking out warmth#and automatically going to Hob's bed#he chases Hob's natural heat#pressing his body into the sheets and the mattress#heavy like a ton of bricks#the bed the linens... everything smells like Hob and it surrounds Dream#and when he gets Hob under the covers with him Dream just goes feral. pressing his hand under Hob's shirt. rucking it up#feeling the warmth of Hob's skin and positively getting drunk on it#'i want to be smothered' Dream says as his hand travels up to Hob's chest. 'i want to be engulfed. i want it to burn#so it leaves a mark. when you touch me its like a branding iron.' feeling Hob's heat becomes an addition that Dream chases#but i thought that was too spicy for the soft and sleepy mood i was creating lol#anyway!#hope this all fits in the tags

my stepbrother and his girlfriend and their one year old child was supposed to stay over for one night for Christmas. a few hours ago they decided to stay tonight as well. the kid has been screaming for basically two days straight.
ngl the more time I spend around babies and pregnant people the less I want to ever have kids.
#cecil blogs her life#he’s not sick btw he just won’t stop crying and screaming#meanwhile my sister is locked in the other bedroom trying to finish her exam#and I’m on the inflatable mattress because I let them have the bed I was originally sleeping in 🙃#it’s nobody’s fault obv but oh my god. I do not have any naturally occurring maternal instincts

The Essential Guide to Choosing a Natural Mattress for Kids
Choosing the right mattress for your child is a critical decision that impacts their sleep quality and overall health. With growing awareness about the harmful chemicals in traditional mattresses, many parents are turning towards a more eco-friendly and health-conscious choice: the natural mattress. This guide aims to enlighten you on why a natural mattress is an ideal option for your child and how to choose the perfect one.
Why Choose a Natural Mattress for Kids?
Children are more vulnerable to the effects of toxic chemicals found in conventional mattresses, such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which can off-gas and affect air quality. A natural mattress, made from organic and non-toxic materials like organic cotton, wool, and natural latex, provides a safer sleeping environment. These materials are not only better for your child’s health but are also hypoallergenic and anti-bacterial. They also offer excellent air circulation, ensuring a comfortable and healthy sleep.
Health and Environmental Benefits
Natural mattresses support not just the health of your child but also the environment. Organic farming practices used in the production of natural mattress materials promote sustainable agriculture, reducing the carbon footprint and protecting the planet for future generations. By choosing a natural mattress, you are investing in a product that is biodegradable and free from harmful chemicals, contributing to both indoor air quality and environmental conservation.
Comfort and Support
The comfort and support provided by a natural mattress are superior, making it an excellent choice for growing bodies. Natural latex, for example, offers a unique combination of softness and support, adapting to your child’s body shape and ensuring proper spinal alignment. This can significantly enhance sleep quality, leading to better concentration and overall well-being for your child.
Durability and Longevity
Natural mattresses are known for their durability and longevity. Unlike synthetic materials that may break down over time, natural materials like latex and wool have inherent resilience and elasticity, maintaining their shape and support for years. This makes a natural mattress a cost-effective choice in the long run, as it reduces the need for frequent replacements.
How to Choose the Right Natural Mattress for Your Child
When shopping for a natural mattress for your kid, consider the following factors:
1. Material Quality: Look for certifications such as GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) and GOLS (Global Organic Latex Standard) to ensure the materials are genuinely organic and of high quality.
2. Firmness Level: Choose a firmness level that supports your child’s growing body. A medium-firm mattress is often recommended for children for optimal support and comfort.
3. Size and Growth Consideration: Consider your child’s current size and potential growth spurts. It might be wise to choose a mattress size that accommodates future growth.
4. Hypoallergenic Properties: If your child has allergies, ensure the mattress materials have natural hypoallergenic properties, like organic cotton or wool, to prevent any allergic reactions.
5. Trial Period and Warranty: Look for companies that offer a trial period and a solid warranty. This ensures you can test the mattress for comfort and durability, providing peace of mind with your investment.
Conclusion
Choosing a natural mattress for your child is a wise decision that benefits their health, comfort, and the environment. By considering the material quality, firmness, size, hypoallergenic properties, and warranty, you can select a mattress that ensures your child enjoys a safe, comfortable, and restorative sleep.

Transforming Your Bedroom into an Eco-Sanctuary with a Natural Mattress
Transforming your bedroom into an eco-sanctuary not only promotes a healthier lifestyle but also contributes positively to the environment. Central to this transformation is the choice of a natural mattress, a decision that can significantly impact your sleep quality, health, and ecological footprint.
In this blog post, we'll explore how a natural mattress can be the cornerstone of an eco-friendly bedroom and offer tips on creating a sustainable sleeping space.
The Heart of an Eco-Sanctuary: Choosing a Natural Mattress
The mattress you sleep on plays a crucial role in your life, affecting your sleep quality and, by extension, your overall health and well-being. Traditional mattresses, often made with synthetic materials and chemical flame retardants, can release volatile organic compounds (VOCs) into your bedroom, degrading air quality and potentially causing health issues.
On the other hand, natural mattresses are crafted from organic and non-toxic materials like organic cotton, wool, and natural latex, offering a cleaner, healthier sleeping environment free from harmful chemicals.
Health and Environmental Benefits
Natural mattresses provide numerous health benefits, including reduced exposure to allergens and chemicals. Organic materials naturally resist mould, mildew, and dust mites, making them an excellent choice for those with allergies or sensitivities. Moreover, natural mattresses support the environment by utilising renewable resources and sustainable farming practices. These eco-friendly materials are biodegradable and reduce the ecological impact associated with the disposal of traditional mattresses.
Complementing Elements for Your Eco-Sanctuary
Creating an eco-sanctuary extends beyond selecting a natural mattress. Consider incorporating organic bedding made from materials like organic cotton or bamboo, which are gentle on the skin and free from harmful dyes and chemicals. Sustainable furniture, made from reclaimed or responsibly sourced wood, further enhances the eco-friendliness of your bedroom. Even small changes, like choosing LED lighting and non-toxic paint, can contribute significantly to your room's overall sustainability.
Mindful Practices for a Holistic Approach
Transforming your bedroom into an eco-sanctuary also involves adopting mindful practices that promote sustainability and well-being. Ensure good air quality by introducing indoor plants that naturally purify the air. Embrace minimalism to reduce clutter and create a more peaceful, serene environment. Regularly airing out your bedroom and maintaining a clean space can further improve the healthfulness of your eco-sanctuary.
The Ripple Effect of Choosing Eco-Friendly
Opting for a natural mattress and eco-friendly bedroom elements is not just a personal health choice but a stand for environmental stewardship. By supporting companies prioritising sustainability, you contribute to a more significant demand for eco-conscious products, encouraging more businesses to adopt sustainable practices. This collective shift can lead to substantial environmental benefits, from reduced chemical pollution to the conservation of natural resources.
Conclusion
Creating an eco-sanctuary with a natural mattress at its core is a transformative step towards a healthier, more sustainable lifestyle. It's an investment in your well-being and the planet's future, aligning your sleeping environment with your values.
As you drift off to sleep on your natural mattress, enveloped in organic bedding and surrounded by eco-friendly furnishings, you'll rest easy knowing you've made a choice that benefits both your health and the environment.

The resurgence of interest in traditional sleeping arrangements, exemplified by the futon, reflects a contemporary desire for simplicity and adaptability in living spaces.
Originating from Japan, the futon—a thin mattress laid directly on the floor—advocates for minimalist living and efficient space utilization. Transitioning to nightly futon use extends beyond space-saving; it embodies a philosophy of embracing simplicity and flexibility in daily life.
