We finally released our list of chemicals found in mattresses. I knew this list existed but had not seen it until recently. Frightening

Glues in our mattresses are never mentioned. There’s still a big huff about fire retardants as there should be. Saving approx 960 ppl/year does not justify dousing our mattressses with enough chemicals to withstand a 2 foot wide blowtorch open flame for 70 seconds. What the hell are they thinking?

Who are the idiots that agreed to this? Hands plz.

Some of us accept the fact that our surroundings are laden with chemicals and wonder why almost 50% of us are getting cancer. In Canada that’s the stat. In your lifetime you have a 50% chance of getting cancer. Maybe carcinogens in our food have something to do with it as well….you think?

Most of us sleep on a plush 1k+ mattress that’s glued together, treated with harsh chemicals and industrial perfumes to mast the chemical odors. The hollow area in the middle containing our fancy $13 pocket coil system acts as an incubator for bacteria and we wonder why we’re not sleeping well.

We have a whole lot of cleaning up to do.
