Some people might not be sure how they can go “green” with their bedroom home furniture. The water doesn’t get used in there and there is no major appliances. There are ways that you can have an eco-friendly bedroom. I will explain a couple of them for you.

The mattress for one is a dangerous thing. Most mattresses have gas chemicals giving off from them. PDBE’s and formaldehyde for instance. These chemicals are flame retardants that are carcinogenic. You will want to change your mattress to one that does not have emissions in it. There are ones with only natural materials that are flame retardant like wool for example. Another one considered safe is a latex.

For your bedroom home room furniture, buy vintage. One part of going “green” is reduce, reuse, recycle. To find furniture a only a few years old and cheap, check the newspapers. There is no need to buy fancy antiques.

For the linens in your bedroom, buy organic. You can find bamboo sheets or organic cotton at most stores. Use blankets instead of heaters in the winter. Your body heat gets trapped under the blankets to keep you warm. Try wool or down, they seem to insulate well. Buy hypoallergenic blankets that are also eco-friendly if you are allergic. These are just a few ways for you to go “green” in the bedroom.
