And yet many bedrooms are filled with potentially harmful furnishings due to the toxins they contain or the bacteria they can harbor. Here’s a look at the potential health issues of bedrooms.
Many mattresses are made of soft materials for comfort, but they can have significant gaps inside those materials where bacteria can breed, including those that trigger allergic reactions.
A lot of bedding is made from synthetic material, which is treated with chemicals. Buy natural bedding to avoid harmful reactions to the chemicals released as synthetic fibers break down.
Wardrobes and dressers have the same issues as bed frames – cheaper options from non-solid wood can break down. Cheap plywood can also harbor mold very quickly if you don’t have good airflow.
