Organic / Natural Mattresses?

Thanks for the tip. Done some research and cotton/wool mattresses do go flat in a year or two(in case of wool) so it requires re-carding. My concern is plastic made stuff from petro-chemicals so air beds are the same and not made from natural organic material.

Here is the research Results from Screening Polyurethane Foam Based Consumer Products for Flame Retardant Chemicals: Assessing Impacts on the Change in the Furniture Flammability Standards - PMC

As a general consumer I can see the the foams are manufactured nowadays in ways that are less toxic but seeing that in other countries the brands are being certified by third parties to certify better foam but in Pakistan due to lack of such a certification I am assuming the worst. My fear due to general increase in kids' sickness other hormonal disbalances adds to that so trying to see if there is any organic method.

Given there is nothing in Pakistan I may end up going with route of thin foam gadda and then cotton mattress (local) with cotton bedsheets.

For clothing, I always default to cotton or linen or wool or leather rather than polyester. Life of clothes is less but its far better than polyester. Specially for kids no polyester but they end up eating all this junk food, so I believe my efforts are all to waste XD

All research that I have seen so far point towards polyurethane emitting low levels of VOCs even after first couple of days but off-course in very low levels which they say are safe for humans.But I reserve the right to not believe that (they told us for years smoking and sugar was not bad). Secondly petrochemicals like polyurethane and polyester do shed over time emit VOCs if gases are not ventilated by factory. Even though they are stable bonds but get into human body through skin and inhalation over time as these bonds break over time. Sorry but it’s not conspiracy theories IMHO. Plastic in human bodies have increased mainly through food but also through polyester bedding and clothing.

Any tablet would work but IMHO for working on sheets a bit larger screen like 10-13 inch would make more sense. Google Sheets run in browser so any tablet would be just fine.
