have more sustainable sleeps with Peacelily’s handmade eco mattress
We human beings spend a third of our lives lying around in bed, either sleeping, tossing and turning, or staying up into the wee hours binge-reading our favourite romance novels. That’s a huge chunk of your life with one type of furniture. While we totally understand why you’re sleeping on a mattress you found in hard rubbish (risking bedbugs, you brave soul) or from the guest room of your nana’s house, it might be time to treat yourself to something a bit more special. After all, you deserve to be well-rested. Your back and your mood will thank you.
While in search of a better night’s sleep, we happened upon the sleepy-time offerings of Peacelily, an Australian brand that specialises in sustainable, non-toxic mattresses. The Peacelily mattress is made from 100 per cent natural latex rubber and 100 per cent GOTS-certified organic cotton, because folks at Peacelily believe natural products make for a much healthier night’s sleep. Their products are also free from added toxins, polyurethane foams or chemical adhesives.
Made from rubber tree sap, Peacelily’s natural latex mattress is cooling, comfy and breathable. It’s a bit science-y, but the open cell structure of latex means that body and room heat radiating into the mattress is not trapped. In layman’s terms, you won’t get sticky, sweaty, and hot. Plus, it helps prevent that gross build-up of mould and mildew you can sometimes get with regular mattresses.
Not only is it good for your bod, but a natural latex mattress is also better for the planet. The rubber trees used to handmake Peacelily products can be sustainably hand-tapped for 30 years. Peacelily is certified by the Forest Stewardship Council for sustainable land management, and all of Peacelily’s bedding products are 100 per cent natural and biodegradable. We reckon you’ll slumber a heck of a lot more soundly knowing you’re sleeping on a sustainable product. If you’d like to learn more, hop on over to Peacelily’s website for more deets.
