Anyone who is in the market for a new bed might want to investigate the potential problems of a conventional coil spring mattress involving EMF fields and RF fields. I had done some research into this as we are looking into buying a new bed and there are experts saying that its best avoid a coil spring mattress. Electric fields in the air from our homes wiring can attach onto the coils and create a voltage we then sleep on. The higher the electric fields in proximity to the bed, the higher the voltage in the bed.
Luckily there many mattresses on the market that do not have coil springs. Many are made of natural rubber/latex which eliminates the need for springs. We will be buying an organic bed to reduce chemical exposure. You can find ones that are made in such a way that they are not sprayed with flame retardants. I was told that some brands like Tempur-Pedic are full of chemicals so its best to do your homework to find out for sure if that's a bed that interests you.
Its also a good idea to buy a wood frame which reduces the amount of metal you sleep on as well.

This video was done by an electrical engineer Steven Magee and shows what kind of voltage and frequencies a coil spring mattress picks up in a typical bedroom. We can reduce our exposure by reducing the amount of electricity around the bed. This is a good idea no matter what kind of bed you have.
This video above is from Steven Magee's YouTube Channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/StevenMageeBooks
He has hundreds of good videos on topics like this and is a great asset for those wanting to learn the specifics about how we encounter EMFs in our homes and environment.
We have looked at some basic organic coil free beds at Dormio in Mississauga and liked their products: http://dormio.ca/default.asp
We also looked at the Samina bed which we would love to buy if we can swing it. The Samina bed was designed in Austria. They are of a premium price but are in a league of their own. Super comfortable, metal free and premium quality. We haven't seen anything that compares to this bed. Claus, the owner of the store Pummer, is very knowledgeable on sleep systems. http://www.pummer.com/product/subcategory_view.php?subcat_id=10
great knowledgeable post for coil spring bed..
ReplyDeleteSo this is a good idea to buy a wood frame.
spring bed to raise the mattress height, making it easier to get in and out of bed.spring bed is a best choice.
I appreciate your manner of writing about coil springs
ReplyDeletei would like to thanks to share such a great info with us and want to continue with your blogs.
