Giveaway: Organic Cotton “My Green” Mattress!

This contest is now closed and the winner has been selected! Congrats to…

Stephanie H.!

I am excited to announce the second prize in our big giveaway series as we count down to the release of my cookbook on Tuesday! (The first one was on Facebook this morning in case you missed it.)

So this next prize is a big ticket item that I know many of you would love to have – a high-quality organic cotton mattress worth almost $500! Think about how many hours of your life are spent laying smack dab on top of your mattress. So as careful as we are with the food we eat, the house cleaners we use, and the cosmetics we apply – we should also be thinking about the unwanted chemicals that unfortunately come with a conventional mattress.

My husband and I were recently in the market for a new mattress ourselves, and I was taken aback when I was told that it would take at least a few days for it to “off-gas.” Is it just me or does something about that not sound right? So I am really thankful that someone had the bright idea to start manufacturing beds with more responsible materials.

And for anyone who is currently mattress shopping and interested in this type of product …be sure to use the coupon code “100Real” to receive 10% off of any product from our sponsor, My Green Mattress.

More about My Green Mattress

I always love to read about people starting a business due to the needs of a family member, and this is definitely no exception. The owner of My Green Mattress, Tim Masters, first saw a need for change after the birth of his second daughter. She had severe eczema and allergies, and Tim and his wife learned that all-natural products could help alleviate her symptoms.

So Tim pulled from his trade experience to develop an all-natural mattress for his daughter’s crib, and soon thereafter created a 100% all-natural latex mattress, called the Organic Dreams Mattress, which Tim’s daughter (Emily) sleeps on today. When it comes to latex, their site has some great FAQ’s regarding – but one that caught my eye was that of memory foam. While it’s a growing trend these days when it comes to mattresses, memory foam is actually made from a chemically produced synthetic petroleum product. Latex is safer for people with chemical sensitivities and often outlasts memory foam.

My Green Mattress offers mattresses, latex pillows, mattress toppers and protectors, organic sheets and more. And last, but certainly not least – My Green Mattress handcrafts their mattresses in the USA and offers FREE shipping to the Continental 48 United States.

  4. As a wife whose 43 yr old hubby is dying of cancer I have done a ton of pondering about everything from not only what we are putting into our body, but on our body, and products we use in our home. I am amazed at the constant exposure to carcinogenics. I was assured by my husbands oncologist that indeed we can thank all this exposure to the increase in caner as well as the increase in areas of autism. I have converted a lot, but a free green mattress would be amazing!

  5. I would sleep on the mattress for myself but would give it up for any guest that may stay over. What a beautiful item

By blog team member, Kiran. To learn more about Kiran check out our team page! Eating real food is important to me and just as important for my family. I know firsthand that this is not always easy, and it doesn't happen overnight. But as parents, I feel that it's our job to give our kids the knowledge of what healthy actually means—both in and outside the house. Our First Soccer Experience Last fall, my 7 year old joined the local soccer league—a very organized one at that. We're still in the stage of figuring out where our kids' talents lie, and for this season, it was soccer. One practice a week and one game on weekends...that I could handle. But the snack situation I could not. The first game rolled around, and each girl was instructed to bring a water bottle. Super, I thought. They absolutely need hydration. The coach had brought a big bag of oranges, cut and ready to be consumed, which the kids ate during the 45 minute game. Awesome! I loved that they had a sweet, nourishing whole food snack and water to nosh on while taking a breather. But then when they finished the game and were given a bag of Cheez-It's and a Capri Sun, I was baffled. Um, really? But what was I going to do, be the mean mom who wouldn't let my daughter take the snack? (I was not the mean mom this time.)

Easy Weeknight Mushroom and Kale Pasta from 100 Days of #RealFood
This is one of those dishes where my 6-year-old will yell from upstairs, “Mommy, what are you making?!? It smells sooooo good down there!” That girl loves to eat good food, and I love to make it, which makes us a perfect match. This recipe is also the only time I’ve ever seen my 8-year-old actually eat mushrooms and somewhat enjoy them. See, even though I know she “doesn’t like” mushrooms, I make them anyway and just try to serve them different ways in different dishes. And once in a blue moon, all that hard work pays off when they eat (and enjoy) something new - score!

Today I am once again posting a "roundup" of the misleading food products I frequently share on Facebook...just in case you missed some of these or need a friendly reminder (or simply don't use Facebook). Please don't let the food industry fool you with these products! GoGurt Yogurt seems like a pretty innocent snack, right? Well, take a closer look (at the ingredient list) and you'll see that these "Strawberry Milkshake" and "Banana Split" flavored yogurt tubes don't actually contain any strawberries or bananas at all! The flavors come from refined sugar and artificial flavors/dyes. Did you know that artificial dyes are derived from petroleum and require a warning label in some countries stating they "have an adverse effect on activity and attention in children?" Real Food Alternative: Why not make your own yogurt tubes by filling reusable silicone molds with homemade smoothies, plain organic yogurt (that you flavor yourself), or even applesauce? My kids love the homemade versions!

I’ve said this before, and I’ll say it again…I am not much of a salad person. I think a lot of people envision “healthy diets” being full of big salads and bean sprouts and tofu, and while there’s certainly nothing wrong with those things, that’s not at all how we eat. Our definition o
