I didn’t know there was so much to think about regarding your mattress if you’re an eco-conscious person. As long as you don’t dump your mattress on the side of the highway, you’re alright in my book.

I am a big fan of clean mattresses, but it’s important to remember that you have to use a different vacuum than the one you use on the floor because that’s just gross. However, if you choose to use the same vacuum I would wipe it out at the bottom.

We are in the process of remodeling, more like ‘greening’, our home and have come across the issue of slat layer under the bed. It’s very difficult to find a bed or mattress manufacturer that sells FSC certified slats, so we just made our own out of FSC certified wood. Works great!
