Buy Organic Mattress Covers

The fabric with which organic mattress covers are made is grown in a pesticide-free environment. Bugs are used to fight pests; weeds are pulled mechanically or by hand. You might use an organic mattress cover to protect you from dust mites or allergens. Other organic mattress covers protect your mattress from accidental spills. Some covers simply help increase the lifespan of your mattress.

Instructions

Step 1

Determine how many mattress covers you need and the size of each (baby, twin, double, queen or king).
Step 2

Determine what kind of mattress covers you need: one that simply protects the mattress from everyday wear and tear, one that protects the mattress from liquid spills or child accidents, or one that protects the sleeper from dust mites and other allergens.
Step 3

Find a store online or in your area that sells this type of mattress pad. Use your favorite search engine (such as Google or Yahoo!) and type in "organic mattress pad" to find an online retailer. Or type in "organic mattress pad" and the name of your city and state to find a location near you.
Step 4

Verify with the manufacturer that fabric used, whether cotton or wool, is organic. The product's packaging and/or tags should label it as such.
Step 5

Inquire about the store's return and exchange policies before purchasing any organic mattress covers.
