All You Need To Know About Mattress Bio

People have been using synthetic mattresses for many years. They are considered comfortable since they prevent one from direct contact with hard surfaces. However, it has come to be discovered that they are not eco-friendly especially when it comes to disposing them off. That is why biofoam matelas also known as mattress bio have been designed to replace the synthetic type. Biofoam mattresses are those that are made using biodegradable materials. A good example is the Soy memory foam mattress. This type is usually made from Soy. However, not the whole of it is made from Soy. Only about 5 to 20 percent is made from it. It is the manufacturers who claim it is a 100% Soy, in a bid to market their product. Most of the mattress is actually made from synthetic material. So this only makes if 5 to 15 percent better than the synthetic foams, which is not good enough. Plus, the biofoam memory mattresses are expensive than their synthetic counterparts, despite the fact that they cost less to produce. This brings us to the next issue: whether bio memory foam mattresses are environmentally friendly. Well, most people tend to think they are because they are made of biodegradable material. However, the bad news is that they are not. This is because they involve clearing of forests in order to clear space for plantations of Soy. So as you can see, they end up leading to much more destruction than conservation. Finally, there is a problem with the smell that comes from the foam. People who own them can testify to this. They have strong chemical odors and smells of grass. This is not the characteristic smell of Soy. It comes from the chemicals used to make the synthetic foams. Sometimes green tea leaves and industrial perfumes are used to mask the odor. The foams are also covered in bamboo fabric which is also matelas bio. However, ask yourself how many bamboos have to be cut to make a single mattress. So, we can conclude and say that as much as the biofoam memory mattresses are a good replacement for the synthetic foams, they cause more harm than good to the environment both directly and indirectly.
