Want an organic mattress, but can't afford the price tag? Not to worry! A natural mattress topper is a perfect, and less expensive, solution. If you are trying to keep your home chemical-free, then an organic mattress is a good way to avoid the off-gassing of petrochemicals that come along with a new mattress, or that can be released as your old mattress breaks down.
A natural mattress topper, especially when used with a mattress case, will completely protect your skin and lungs from these chemicals. A mattress case seals your entire mattress, and keeps gasses and allergens such as dust mites securely locked away. Natural mattress cases are available, but synthetic cases actually offer a better barrier. Adding a natural mattress topper keeps your skin safely away from the synthetic material.
Organic Wool Pillows
Natural mattress toppers are made from a range of materials, and each one has their advantages and disadvantages. Natural latex mattress toppers are made from the rubber tree and will last up to 20 years. They are hypoallergenic, and are usually thick and very comfortable. They are intended to be used with a mattress cover, and are usually more expensive than other types. The price, however, pays off in the long run in durability.
Some latex toppers have a latex core, and a wool or cotton covering. These tend to be the most comfortable and the most expensive, but again they will last a long, long time. No matter which you choose, make sure that the latex is from a natural source only, and not a natural-synthetic blend as many are.
Wool is a good choice for a natural topper. It is a natural insulator, and wicks moisture away from your body. This means it will keep you warm in winter, but also cool in summer. Wool does not attract dust mites or mold. It can over time become compacted and feel harder, but steam cleaning will usually puff it back up again. Wool mattress toppers are usually made from sheep, alpaca or a wool blend.
So if you want a chemical-free bedroom but can't afford an organic mattress, a natural topper is a smart, affordable choice. Not only will it protect you from off-gassing and allergens, but it will also extend the life of your old mattress considerably...and that keeps it out of the landfill. For a fraction of the cost of even a brand new traditional mattress, a natural mattress topper is the perfect

Serenity Shambho Organic Buckwheat and Wool Pillow Overview
The Shambho Pillow is smaller in size than traditional standard pillows, allowing better wrap around and neck support than a larger pillow. In Asian countries where buckwheat hull pillows are used almost exclusively, this smaller size is their standard. The Shambho organic pillow has two inner chambers. The bottom is filled with organic buckwheat hulls that conform to fit your head and neck so perfectly you'll feel like a baby in your mother's arms! The top chamber is filled with pure, fluffed Eco wool. Your ear will love this soft addition especially when you sleep on your side. Easily adjustable, if you want to make the pillow higher, rotate it a quarter turn so that is rests on its side. If you want to make it lower and softer, unzip the casing and scoop out some hulls. The Shambho Pillow is micro-adjustable for a custom-made fit. Try it - sleep in proper alignment all night long and wake up with a happy neck! Easy to take along on trips. Get the rest you deserve while traveling. Whether on business or vacation, you feel better rested if you have your pillow along and the smaller organic Shambho is easily packable and great on the plane or in the car.
