So no matter your ailment Soma Organic Mattresses is here to help you achieve a superior night’s sleep in a totally organic sleep system which will leave you feeling rejuvenated each morning giving you the ability to take on life’s chalenges with the type of vigor we all crave.
The correct pillow is just as essential in achieving a complete restful night’s sleep along with a healthy supportive mattress. The right pillow can relieve your aches and pains by providing proper support for the spine and neck. From a physical support standpoint you want your pillow to elevate your head, neck, and shoulders. This type of support along with the proper mattress can keep the body in proper alignment. Subjectively you should always find your pillow comfortable the minute you lie on it. There’s always a fine balance of comfort and support when picking the right one to buy.
The Different Sleeping Positions
Back Sleepers
When sleeping on your back you should have adequate support for your shoulders, head, and neck. The pillow should support the natural curvature of the cervical spine. A low contour/cervical pillow is often recommended for this particular sleeping position.
Side Sleepers
This among the most common of the 3 sleeping positions and allows and allows for a greater variety of options when choosing pillows. There are many options like shredded latex, solid latex, wool pillows, orthopedic, contour, etc…
It’s important for the pillow to keep the spine in a straight horizontal line while supporting the head and neck. Weight should be evenly distributed to avoid the spine being out of alignment which will help relieve any pressure points.
Stomach Sleepers
The stomach position is considered one the worst positions due in large part to the spine often being out of alignment. To avoid this problem it is recommended you sleep with a very flat pillow then place another similar or the same pillow under the stomach to straighten the spine and keep its natural alignment.
The best pillow recommended for this sleep position would be a flat latex no higher than 2-3.5 inches at most.
Always remember that a pillow is a personal choice and choosing the right pillow for each individual should be a carefully thought out process much like buying a house or a car. So it’s always important to remember comfort and support without the two together you will never find the right pillow for you!
Are You Living Naturally? More importantly Are You Sleeping Naturally?These are just two questions we often ask people when they enter our doors. Soma Sleep’s customers are finding by sleeping more naturally they enhance their overall health and vitality. What’s that old time catch phrase ” The proof is in the pudding”It sounds way too cliche but it’s true. This past week a customer dropped in to pick up a pillow from a previous back order and after I gave him his order he was going to leave but something compelled him to come back in and tell me something funny about his new bed that just got delivered a little over a month ago. Sam said that the bed was of course comfortable and he was sleeping well but the one area he noticed was on a recent business trip he was waking up constantly though out the night and then in the morning he was stuffed up, groggy, or even feeling sick. Then he flew home a week later and slept in his new bed which was an organic Green Sleep Vimala Sleep System. Within 2 Days he informed me he slept more deeply, waking up feeling rejuvenated more and more. After he put two and two together he realized by switching his mattress to a more natural one that breathes and provides a therm o regulating, supportive, and restorative night’s sleep himself and his whole family were happy they made the choice to switch their mattress and were already feeling and appreciating the benefits from their commitment to sleep more naturally. Whether it’s a Green Sleep, a Soma Organic Mattress,Natura, Magniflex, or any other natural mattress, by switching to a more natural sleep everyone who does will benefit tremendously in the short and long term waking up rejuvenated by a quality night’s sleep.

At Soma Sleep we believe that wool is the key ingredient in a truly restful and healthy night’s sleep. Our wool is processed without the presence of chemicals, dyes, or harmful oils. The final product gives you complete warmth and absorbency without containing any residues from processing.
Benefits
Soma Sleep’s natural wool, treated with only vegetable-based agents for washing, lubrication and static control is also:
Quality Care
Our wool comes from the small island of Texel, Netherlands. The sheep are carefully bred and live a stress-free life. During the summer months, the herds graze on land that has never been used for agriculture, guaranteeing that it is free from contaminants such as pesticides, herbicides, and synthetic fertilizers. In winter, a well-ventilated, climate-controlled barn with clean floors is stocked daily with fresh bedding and a non-rationed organic food supply. The animals are checked daily for continued health. The resulting fleece – shorn from live animals is carefully sorted and washed with only hot water and vegetable-based soaps ( no detergents, chemicals or chlorine bleach ) producing wool fibres which are strong and springy. This process allows the wool to retain between 4 and 6 percent lanolin – a natural dust mite repellent.
I’ve decided to talk about the benefits of each mattress available to consumers. So it makes total sense to talk about the healthiest sleep available first. I just finished a green living trade show and the response was phenomenal considering the economic times we are all living in. Spreading the word about green products to everyone was so important much more than just making a sale. Unfortunately not everyone is aware compared to people who have decided to live more naturally by limiting toxins within the home, eating more natural (organic) type foods, and being environmentally aware ie: recycling, reducing waste etc…..
When it gets down to the guts of a good mattress if you decide to buy an organic mattress set you are not only eliminating chemicals from your sleep zone but enjoying its supportive qualities and longevity as well. Natural rubber cores will last anywhere between 18-28 years if properly maintained. The mattress should sit on a proper slat wood foundation or hard surface unless it’s the Vimala sleep system which is made of wooden dowels please see Green Sleep. http://www.somasleep.ca/Green_Sleep_Mattresses_Toronto.html
There’s usually no flipping or rotating needed with most organic beds with a rubber core. Natural rubber mattresses are supportive and relieve pressure points. An organic rubber core is antimicrobial, resists dust mites, mold, mildew, and breathes naturally. Wool is used because of its properties to resist dust mites, thermo-regulate the mattress by wicking moisture away from the body, and its hypoallergenic properties. It is also used due to the fact that wool is a natural fire retardant which allows the manufacturer to avoid treating the mattress with fire retardants keeping the mattress entirely organic. To complete your toxin free sleep an organic cotton cover is the final touch in creating a chemical free sleep for you and your loved ones. Certified organic cotton is free of pesticides and insecticides as well as any other harmful chemicals and is much more sustainable than synthetics.
So let’s summarize.
durable
chemical free
supportive and pressure point relief for your spine.
sustainable
above all will increase your energy, immune system, and overall health.
Natural rubber is the most durable and healthiest mattress available but that does not mean that an organic innerspring, or a natural fill pocket coil are not great alternatives as well beacuse they are it totally depends on the individual what the needs are as well as your budget of course.
