Yet most of us haven’t given thought to the toxic chemicals in our mattresses that we breathe in all night, or absorb through our skin. The bedroom should be a safe haven, but unfortunately more and more research reveals the bedroom may be one of the most toxic places in the home. Consider the average conventional mattress contains more toxic chemicals than a 50 gallon oil drum, and our skin, the largest organ of the body, is also the most porous entry point. It’s no wonder chemicals found in mattresses, known to cause toxic reproductive effects, are regularly found at significant levels in human blood samples. Walter Bader outlines the dangers of the variety of toxic threats lurking in the typical American bedroom so that, armed with this knowledge, you can defend yourself and your family against them
