Families Dying Due to Carbon Monoxide in Mattresses

There is a lot of information available about safe sleep for babies which is so important but what about safe sleep for the rest of us. Here is more information and tips for adults to have a safer night’s sleep.

We all love our sleep but when you’re asleep it’s potentially your most vulnerable time. Consumer reporter Elisabeth Leamy offers suggestions to help sleep safely and soundly. Her most crucial tip is to get a mattress made with certified foam. There’s a group called certiPURE-US that puts mattress foam through rigorous independent testing even surprised spot checks to make sure it is made without chemicals of concern. Leamy suggests also protecting yourself while you’re away from your bed, as a consumer reporter she has covered many stories about families on vacation dying of carbon monoxide poisoning, so it may be worth investing the 15 to 50 dollars to get a portable carbon monoxide detector, stick it in your suitcase and know you’re covered.
