Freecycle Is The New Recycle
August 6th, 2008
Can’t sleep? Is the thought of creating consumer waste with your next furniture purchase keeping you up at night? Green Nest LLC makes green living easy with their e-commerce site, www.GreenNest.com offering eco-friendly products and furniture.
Through their winning entries in Green Nest’s Freecycle Contest, both Shannon B. of Windsor, CT and Holly A. of Topanga, CA can rest easy on their new certified organic mattress foundations. The Green Nest organic mattress foundations were donated by a local Southern California family, The Garmon’s, who said, “The choices were not hard to make. The ones which touched our hearts the most were the ones who were putting others in front of themselves. Servant Hearts!”
The Green Nest Organic slat Foundation has a heavy-duty organic cotton cover that is united with extra-firm support from wide wood slats placed every two inches for maximum coverage.
The Organic Slat Foundations are designed to be used with the Green Nest Organic Inner Spring or natural latex mattresses while providing perfect support and unmatched comfort. Solid wood slats are fitted following a traditional European design in heavy-duty organic cotton fabric. They feature a 2 inch gap between slats which allows for ample air circulation as well as a heavy-duty organic cotton cover and kiln-dried Spruce wood frame. These foundations offer both the benefits of organic materials and environmentally friendly practices.
According to Green Nest LLC, organic materials such as wool and cotton are better for humans and the environment. Using wool helps regulate temperature, and keeps irritating chemicals or pesticides away from sleepers. Because these products utilize organic wool they keep pesticides, antibiotics, and chemicals away from animals and groundwater.
“Traditional furniture often contains finishes and plastics that can unleash harmful chemicals into your home, putting your family’s health at risk. But our environmentally friendly bedding options - like organic organic mattresses, linens, barrier covers, wood furniture and fabrics - are made without the use of pesticides, chemical finishes and composite substances that can off-gas chemical vapors” says Lisa Beres, co-founder of Green Nest. In addition, their gorgeous new bed frames are just the beginning of their natural products furniture line that will provide families with organic alternatives to health endangering furniture.

I love the new platform bed from Greennest. It’s not only comforable for my back, but does wonders for my allergies too. I’m sold on this bed for the healthy way to spend a good nights sleep.

I love my organic matress from Green Nest! Ever since I bought it I swear that I have been able to sleep soundly every night! It is definitely worth the money if you have trouble sleeping like me.
