He was a guest on “Lounge & Learn.” Barry helped us uncover the dirty details behind mattress manufacturing, materials, poisons & ethics. Check out the teaser below. Beds Mattresses Disease & Sleep.
Without a doubt, this webinar was one of our most informative and important ones to date. Barry like most of our guests, is a true expert in his field. It is a very important subject considering we spend one third of our life on a mattress. A mattress must be safe and chemical free. Listen and learn. Isn’t your health worth 40 minutes of your time?

Here’s just a few of the many topics we chatted with Barry about:
- Latex, foam, memory foam, feathers, down & so much more. The market is flooded with so many choices and so many chemicals!
- Eco or green mattresses are very toxic. Plant derived, soybean and bamboo are laden with chemicals. Why organic mattresses and bedding is actually more comfortable.
- What makes for a safe crib/mattress.
- Why a crib mattress needs to be waterproof and the various ways to achieve it.
- Latex (and even more so with “natural” latex is a known and documented allergen)
- Certifications and their validity. Buyer beware!
- Synthetic latex is made with petroleum-based oils and chemical additives. Chemicals typically added include formaldehyde and flame retardants, which have been proven dangerous to health.
- Organic Latex: Organic latex is made from the sap of the rubber tree which is processed. A mattress made from organic latex does not contain any chemicals, synthetics, pesticides, herbicides, or other man-made products.
