72: Do Mattress Protectors Make Conventional Mattresses Safer?

If you cover a conventional mattress with a non-toxic mattress protector and organic cotton sheets, does this protect you from the toxins in the mattress? 

This question was posed to me in a Q+A thread I hosted in my free Facebook Group, the Green Product Forum, and I know it’s a common one. I recorded a video response to the question and wanted to share the answer with you in this quick tip episode!

Now, if you are in the market for a new mattress, check out episode 7 for a run-down of what to look for in a non-toxic mattress. 

And if you’re not in the Green Product Forum Facebook Group yet, be sure to join us at http://facebook.com/groups/greenproductforum! 

It’s an incredibly supportive community that has helped many members select mattresses they love among other products and less toxic household strategies. Plus, you get some bonus content from me - like the video used for this episode.
