You mattress could be causing you to gain weight!
Poor sleep can lead to weight gain, and bad mattresses cause poor sleep.
Chances are good that the mattress you lay on every night contains toxic chemicals, such as boric acid and antimony.
A lot of household furniture falls into this category as well. So you get exposed whether you are sitting down watching Netflix or lying in bed taking a siesta.
If you were to visit a mattress factory, you can see firsthand what's going on.
Floor workers apply a cocktail of chemicals to the mattresses, which prevent them from going up in flames while you sleep.
This safety precaution is a catch-22. Your mattress might be more fire resistant, but it's also toxic.
Just stop and think about the proximity of your body to these chemicals.
If you sleep naked or with minimal clothing, you are even more exposed.
And let's not forget that you need to breathe at night.
With your face no more than a smunched up pillow-width away, you are primed to breathe in toxins all night long.
And all these toxins have a negative impact on your health.
They have been known to
- alter sperm quality
- disrupt brain function
- increase cancer risk and
- lead to thyroid dysfunction.
The thyroid, which sits inside the front of the neck, is your body's regulatory gland. If it is not in good working order, it can cause your metabolism to be thrown off.
A slow metabolism makes it hard to lose weight.
Additionally, a poorly working thyroid can cause hair loss, inability to concentrate and fatigue. Fatigue will also hinder weight loss because you won't have energy to exercise.
The good news is…
You can do something about this situation before it gets out of hand.
A lot of mattress companies are now going the way of cleaner production methods.
In some of these cases, they're still fire retardant, but without the types of chemicals that devastate your body.
Your best bet is to call the mattress company or visit them in person.
- Ask questions about how the mattress is made, what materials are used and if there are any precautions you should know about.
- If the company is legit, they will be honest with you right from the start. If they give you vague answers and try to dodge your battery of questions, move on.
Be aware that these mattresses do cost more money. If this is an issue for you, there is another route you can take.
Wrap your mattress with polyethylene plastic.
- This creates a barrier that does not allow gases, toxins or chemicals to leech through.
- Then place your sheets over it as normal and you’re good to go.
As long as you take the right steps, you can sleep without fear of toxicity.
Don’t let your mattress hold you back from achieving optimal health and the body you desire.
I have to tell you, after trying every high-end, non-toxic mattress that has me sleeping like a baby every night, I found one that I absolutely LOVE…

By the way, after sleeping on our IntelliBED for the last six months, my husband and I will NEVER sleep on another mattress. Period. My husband's lower back issues went away after just a few days after sleeping on our new mattress, we both wake up feeling refreshed, and we have tons of energy in the morning now.
Yours in Health,
