Sleep Safe in a Toxic World: Your Guide to Identifying and Removing Hidden Toxins from Your Bedroom

Many popular mattresses are a chemical nightmare, constructed of polyurethane foam, which is made from a petrochemical base combined with a chemical potpourri of stabilizers, catalysts, surfactants, fire retardants, antimicrobial additives and colorants. These chemicals are associated with environmental problems as well as human health hazards such as chronic bronchitits, impaired lung function, breathlessness, nausea, vomiting and allergic reactions. Some are potential carcinogens and reproductive toxins.

Sleep Safe details how beds may be one of the single-most overlooked causes of people's health problems in the world today. Author Walt Bader shows the reader how to shop for a safe and healthy organic mattress, and provides tips for eliminating toxins in all parts of your bedroom--from the walls to the floors to the closets.

Having been chemically sensitive his whole life,Walt Bader is intimately aware of the chemical challenges that bombard us on a daily basis. His continual quest has been to find safer alternatives
for the everyday products that he uses, and by so doing, to avoid the health risks associated with products that are routinely
made with chemicals. In 1995, he decided to share these products with others and co-founded Lifekind®, Inc., a national catalog company specializing in organic and Naturally Safer® product alternatives.
