If your bed is toxic, do you want to be sleeping in it? 
Recently a reader sent in this question: I have received your newsletters for years and I remember your telling about what materials would be good for our beds. I remember your telling about latex and I thought you related that it being from a natural material, it would be a good bed. Most air beds are made from the worst kind of plastic: PVC (vinyl), which never goes away as a toxic contaminant in the house/bed. The levels of chemicals from the PVC rise as the materials age, and instead of out-gassing, the intact chemicals (called semi volatile organic compounds) bind to house dust, which then gets inhaled. Even when the smell goes away, this material continues to pollute. Spending 8 hours a night in contact with and breathing these chemicals is not ideal. I'd trade it in for healthier one. (A few years ago when my wife and I were looking for a healthy bed, we searched far and wide for something really good and consulted Mary Cordaro an environmental health specialist in LA. We took her suggestion and bought one that she designs and produces. It is by far the best we could find – both then and now. It's really made of all natural materials, does not smell and you'll sleep like a dream on it for years and years.
