Thanks for referencing my article Kiki. Some bunky boards are nothing more than slats with fabric over them, which would be ok. You definitely would want to avoid a solid piece of plywood.

Thanks for the add to the list AT! Target shows they have organic sheets, but I have seen them and they don't look/smell/feel like they are organic cotton, and they are from China. The sheets at our store, Nest Bedding, are USA made, USA grown cotton and can be purchased on our website as well as in our stores, and shipped anywhere in the USA.

kkkkaren, the difference is that you bought a mattress, and since you bought a mattress, it had to be submitted for fire testing, and have wool or some substance to make if fire retardant. Some people don't like to use wool, are vegan or allergic to wool and some don't want to sleep on fire retardant materials. When you buy COMPONENTS and build it yourself, YOU don't have to make it comply with fire retardant laws. That is the difference.

Spider Lady, I wholeheartedly agree! That is why every mattress in my store is made in the USA!

Just saw that they wrote about my little store! Yay! Synthetic foams can emit toxic off-gassing. Its a documented fact. And natural latex is made from rubber, infused with air.
