The ideal bed

would be made out of solid wood and finished with a natural and
non-toxic wood oil or beeswax or would remain unfinished. There are a
number of natural oil and wax wood finishing products designed for food
cutting boards and butcher blocks that will work well on a bed frame.

The frame
should be designed to hold wooden slats. This arrangement, common in
Europe, eliminates the need for a box spring and allows for air
circulation under the mattress which facilitates evaporation of
moisture. 

The center piece of
any bedroom sanctuary is, of course, the bed. Of all of the furnishings in your
home the bed is the one you will spend the most time in and which will have the
most impact on your health and well-being…so choose wisely.

A healthy bed will
have many of the same attributes as a healthy home. It should be:

 •non-toxic

• able to take on
moisture and then dry-out without supporting dust or mold

• easy to clean and
sanitize

• electrically
non-conductive (free of metal)

• ergonomic,
supporting a healthy sleep posture

• highly
insulating supporting warm in the winter and cool in the summer.
