How Sleeping On an All Natural Mattress is Better than Sleeping on a Bed of Nails

ALL NATURAL MATTRESS VS SLEEPING ON A BED OF NAILS

"No one travelsAlong this way but I,This autumn evening."

Modern life is complicated and fast-paced, and it takes dedication to find time for meditation and other healthy routines...

FINDING ENLIGHTENMENT IN YOUR BEDROOM 

In the pursuit of happiness and a more mindful existence, people today are making changes in all areas of their lives from their morning rituals to their sleeping environment. Rather than settling for old-fashioned synthetic mattresses and bedding, many are looking into untraditional alternatives.

Some people thing the quickest path to bliss and  enlightenment, could be to sleep on  a bed of nails. The traditional bed of nails is crafted from natural wooden planks, which are usually salvaged and upcycled. Hundreds, or even thousands, of sharp metal nails project upward from the platform. Beds with more nails per square inch are considered more comfortable and easier to master (nail count is as important as thread count).

ORGANIC & NATURAL LATEX MATTRESSES FOR LASTING INNER PEACE  

Here at Haiku Designs we think we have a better way to inner peace and nirvana.  Consider one of our all Natural and Organic Latex Mattresses as a very enjoyable and relaxing way to Deep Bliss. If not to bliss perhaps at least to a great and healthy good nights sleep.

But while you're shopping, you might also consider a natural, organic mattress or futon. Generally considered to be the more comfortable option, our EcoPure and Serenity Plus organic futons are another way to pursue bliss and inner harmony. Organic futons and organic mattresses feature a botanical latex core sourced from the Asian Rubber Tree, which – unlike standard synthetic mattresses – won't off-gas dangerous chemicals into your home.

Our organic mattresses are lovingly crafted, in Boulder, Col  fromaall natural, 100% botanical latex core. This core is then wrapped in high-quality garneted organic wool that resists mildew and mites. Then the entire package is swathed in incredibly soft, quilted all-natural, organic cotton damask. The craftsmanship and materials used in our natural futons is far superior to typical polyester foam core futons, resulting in a luxuriously comfortable futon that will hold its shape for many years – lasting about twice as long as the standard synthetic variety.

Natural mattresses can contribute to a healthy night's sleep because they don't introduce synthetic toxins into your sleeping environment. No harmful materials go into our mattresses and futons, and no noxious substances are released when they are made. Our organic mattresses and futons are never sprayed with harmful flame retardants.Wool is naturally flame resistant, so our mattresses meet all federal flammability regulations, without adding toxic chemicals into the mix. To protect your mattress, we recommend a natural mattress topper made with the same exacting standards.

The perfect complement to our organic mattresses and futons are our organic sheets, duvets, and pillows. Most mainstream, mass-produced bedding is made of synthetic fibers and non-organic cotton that require a lot of dangerous chemicals to produce. Our natural mattress toppers, natural sheet sets, and natural comforters are crafted from organic cotton that is always sourced and processed responsibly. Not only will you get a far more healthy, restful sleep, you'll contribute to the health of our planet as well.

Five Hot Modern Bedroom Furniture Trends for 2016

FIVE HOT MODERN BEDROOM FURNITURE TRENDS FOR 2016

"How cool the breeze the empty sky is filled with the sound of the pines."

Arguably the biggest design trend in 2016 was an upswing in the popularity of minimalistic furniture with their clean lines, rich natural wood grains, and neutral color palettes of Scandinavian design create a relaxing bedroom environment.

1.  THE BEAUTY OF MINIMALISM

Our Cove Beach Platform Storage Bed seamlessly combines elements of a contemporary driftwood finish with the bold, clean appeal of Scandinavian design. This gorgeous bed supplies tons of room for storage in two huge drawers accessed at the foot of the bed. Because it's a true platform bed, there is no need for a box spring mattress that takes up valuable space that can be used for storage.

2.  RECLAIMED FURNITURE
   
   

Another popular trend in modern decorating is the use of reclaimed furniture. Salvaged wood is often incorporated into original one-of-a-kind furniture pieces, typically resulting in a rustic look. The design esthetic at Haiku Designs is timeless and minimalist, but we love the idea of reclaimed wood – so we located a manufacturer who works with solid mango wood. Traditionally, mango trees are harvested for their fruit, and at the end of their fruit-bearing years they are burned to make room for new trees. What a waste! Our mango wood furniture comes from those mature trees, which were saved from burning and crafted into gorgeous furniture that positively glows with a deep, lustrous sheen.

3.  PLATFORM BEDS

Platform beds have been around a long time especially in Europe or the East. Platform beds, strictly speaking are beds that use a platform wood structure to support the mattress. More traditional beds use a box spring and a bed open frame system to hold the mattress. Generally platform beds do not need a box spring to support the mattress. The mattress sits on series of solid wood slats to support the mattress. This trend fits nicely with the minimalist influence that is so popular today as it allows for a lower profile, more simple look bedframe. Consider the Tokyo bed for the ultimate in minimalists, low profile platform bed.

4.  SUSTAINABLE FURNITURE 

Few trends of the year are hotter than sustainable materials, and few materials are more impressive than natural bamboo. The bamboo plant is actually a type of grass, so it grows very quickly – as much as three feet (one meter) per day – and can be harvested every year. Our platform beds and platform storage beds are always made of sustainable materials. Greenington'sAzara Bed and coordinated nightstands and dressers are a stunning example of modern bamboo furniture. With its layers of hand-selected Tiger Bamboo in contrasting finishes, this sleek, modern bed is an instant makeover for any bedroom.

Copeland's Astrid Platform Bed is an artistic example of another big trend in design: eco-friendly furniture. Its splayed, tapered legs give it an edgy, Mid Century Modern vibe. The built-in side tables eliminate the need for nightstands, giving the whole room an airy, uncluttered look. Copeland Furniture is a world leader in eco-friendly furniture design, using only sustainably harvested North American hardwoods and the latest in environmentally friendly building processes. All Copeland finishes boast extremely low chemical emissions, improving the indoor air quality of your home.

5.  UPCYCLED AND RECYCLED MATERIALS

Today's hottest designers love to work with upcycled or recycled materials. Recycled furniture and reclaimed furniture are easily one of the year's most popular trends. Upcycled furniture is created directly from salvaged items, which are combined to make new pieces or repurposed to serve an entirely new function. Recycled furniture and furnishings are fresh, new products that are made from processed, recycled materials. Our recycled rugs make a dramatic statement in your bedroom, and are luxuriously soft underfoot. As an environmentally conscious shopper, you'll be proud to display these rugs in your home, knowing that they're crafted from recycled paper, silk, and cotton.
