Natural fibre mattress: The health benefits

Are you currently looking for a new natural mattress? When it comes to investing in a new mattress, we feel that natural is the way to go. Here at Ely, we’ve spent over forty years in the mattress industry. We really understand what humans need from a mattress, and we know for certain that natural mattresses can bring a huge range of health benefits.

The Ely mattress is a natural fibre mattress, one you can trust and rely on. We’re very passionate, and dedicated to making the best natural mattress out there. Using natural materials offers so many amazing benefits, including helping with temperature regulation and with the planet’s carbon footprint. Using natural materials also brings a range of amazing health benefits, some of which we will discuss below.

Back problems

Many people can struggle with health issues, such as back pains or aches. Common mattresses – such as memory foam mattresses – are often viewed to be too soft, and can make these health issues worse. The softness in many mattresses can cause issues with getting in and out of bed. Not only does this continue with a person’s back problems, but it can also impact sleep quality.

At Ely mattresses, we have designed our mattresses with the best natural materials to create the ideal level of firmness. The layers of natural materials we use – such as sheep’s wool and horsehair – help keep your spine aligned throughout the night. The Ely Mattress is specially designed with five-zoned pocket springs that help contour to your body. This provides a weightless feel and maximum comfort, whilst still providing a great level of support. Having a pressure-relieving mattress at the correct firmness will help with aches and pains, and support you to have the best night’s sleep.

Natural fibre mattresses are made using no harmful chemicals

Many mattresses are made using synthetic materials. Often these materials are cheaper to use. However, these materials can be detrimental for your health. Mattresses using these materials can contain flame retardants including benzene and formaldehyde. If your mattress is emitting these harmful chemicals and toxins during the night, you may be breathing these in for hours while you sleep. Toxic gases such as those mentioned above have been linked to health issues including fertility issues and certain cancers.

Using natural materials to make our mattresses means there are no toxic chemicals or materials used to make the Ely. Our materials have been thoroughly examined and tested to ensure they contain no harmful by-products or vapours. If you are mindful about your health, choose natural.

Avoid dust mites, mildew, and mould with a natural fibre mattress

Mould, dust mites, and mildew can be common negatives associated with several health risks. These health risks can include problems with our immune system. Each of these nasties can be commonly found in mattresses as they thrive in moist, warm environments which are heavily insulated.

At Ely Mattress, the natural components to our mattresses offer a dry environment. Materials such as wool have the ability to release and allow moisture to pass through your mattress, keeping it dry and cool. This is something that other common mattress materials lack the ability to do. Using natural materials to make our mattresses means avoiding the potential for unwanted nasties.

Allergies and fungal spores

The humid, moist environment that is created through common mattress materials can create the perfect setting for the growth of fungal spores (these are the things which cause allergies). This may irritate or flare up allergies, as well as conditions such as asthma.

People who struggle with conditions like asthma or are sensitive to allergies may benefit from a natural mattress for several reasons. Firstly, natural mattresses are manufactured in a way that eliminates allergens. Also, the use of natural materials regulates moisture and prevents the development of fungal spores in your bed.
