'Go green' with a new bed or mattress

People looking to purchase a new bed have been offered some advice on how they could help the environment when doing so.

When it comes to buying a mattress or pillows, as well as any bedding and duvets, consumers should look for those made from certified organic materials, RiverWired reports.

Products can also be found which are made from wool or have not been treated with chemicals, including natural latex mattresses and green mattress toppers.

Furthermore, when getting an environmentally friendly bed or mattress delivered, people should thinking about the packaging and find out whether it is made with recycled or recyclable materials.

A good way to cut costs could also be to buy locally whenever possible, the website advises.

After buying a new environmentally friendly bed, people may want to iron their sheets when sleeping in it for the first time, as the St Petersburg Times recently claimed that "sinking into a bed dressed with ironed sheets is one of life's great luxuries".
