Autism and Organic Mattresses

09 December 2008

We have recently had a customer who was buying an Organic Mattress and silk bedding for her son who suffers from Autism. She really opened my eyes to the link between flame retarding chemicals and autism. From doing extra research I found an article about Jonathan Tommey, who discovered that his son was reacting badly to a chemical element called Antimony, which is found in the chemicals used to meet fire regulations. It can lead to liver and digestive problems.

Jonathan's son Tommey was suffering from a lack of sleep, only gettig one or two hours a night but since he changed his mattress and bedding to Organic he has slept far better.
