1. They're environmentally friendly!
As mentioned earlier,
getting organic furniture would help the environment because the usage
of harmful chemicals will be reduced. Poisonous chemicals that help
preserve and increase the lifespan of the furniture are very toxic to
the environment. Most of these chemicals break down very slowly, and are
very likely to poison the earth, the air and the water for a very long
time if released to the environment. Organic furniture contains none of
these preservatives and harmful chemicals. Using natural fibers like
cotton or flax that are grown without the usage of pesticides pose no
harm to the environment. Furthermore, organic bedroom furniture help
reduce waste because they are very long-lasting and have a longer
lifespan as compared to synthetic composite wood. These types of wood
break down easily, adding to the bulk of waste and trash dumped into the
environment. You are less likely to throw away organic furniture
because they are very strong and long-lasting. Other than this, organic
bedroom furniture manufacturers strive to reduce the usage of certain
materials in furniture assembly and making that are not friendly to the
environment. Synthetic backboards, Styrofoam packaging, bubble wraps and
the like are not utilized anymore. All in all, you get beautiful
furniture whilst protecting the environment.
2. Air quality is improved
Much
of the synthetic and non-organic solid wood furniture release the
chemicals they are imbibed with into the air. As time goes by, the
harmful preservatives find their way out of the hardwood panels of the
furniture and into your lungs. Since organic bedroom furniture contain
none of these pesticides and chemicals, you can be assured that the
quality of air you breathe inside your bedroom or home will improve.
There will be no chemicals that will go to your lungs, poisoning you
little by little.
3. Improvement in skin health
There are
people who report having lots of rashes and other skin ailments in areas
that are most commonly in contact with solid wood furniture like
chairs, tables and beds. Allergic reactions from the chemicals that are
in wooden furniture are not a foreign sight. The chemicals and other
preservatives added to the wood of non-organic furniture come in contact
with the person using it, an allergic reaction may happen, or worse,
the chemical may poison the person by seeping into his skin to his
bloodstream. Getting organic bedroom furniture with no chemicals would
eliminate the danger of this happening to you and your family.
4. Economical
As
mentioned, organic hardwood and naturally made furniture would last a
lot longer than synthetics because organic materials are aged and
strengthened naturally. Most hard woods are very long-lasting and are
compacted very strongly, producing very beautiful furniture when
processed. Most composites and synthetic materials break down easily and
depend on chemicals to hold them together. In this aspect, organic
furniture wins over non-organic furniture again. Because organic bedroom
furniture will last a lifetime with you, you find yourself earning
money from not buying any other new solid wood furniture for your
bedroom or home for a long time.
5. Aesthetic quality
Organic
hardwoods are naturally aged and are obtained through delicate natural
means. Because of this, most of the wooden products retain their
beautiful natural color and state. This gives organic furniture their
natural beauty and attractiveness. Furthermore, skilled craftsmen most
often bring out the natural beauty of these wood making them even more
priceless. Talk about getting beautiful furniture without sacrificing
quality!
6. Support for local industry
Most of the
businesses that manufacture organic bedroom furniture are small
factories that are almost ready to close because of the recession. And
so we have to move to convince them not to close by supporting their
solid wood furniture and other goods.
With the rising popularity
of environmental ideologies, organic furniture are a very booming
business. Because of this, fraud and false advertising scams are
inevitable. You will encounter shops out there that would claim that
their goods are organic, but in truth they are not. They may look
organic, but eventually, the signs of wear and tear appear early on.
This could waste your money or worse, endanger your and your family's
welfare. How does one protect himself from all these fake goods?
Constant
vigilance is a must. Before buying furniture that claims to be organic,
it is wise to bring someone who knows things about organic hardwood. If
there is no one to accompany you, you have no choice but to research on
your own. Information is a very powerful tool that could help you
discern what to buy. It is wise to look for the profile of the company
or shop from which you would buy the goods from. There are many
websites, forums and blogs in the internet that contain information,
feedback and advices on how to go about your organic furniture shopping.
There are several websites that are dedicated in providing information
regarding organic products, as well as their suppliers. The feedback of
other internet users on the shop or supplier you are eying could help
you know whether or not you should patronize that supplier. Researching
could also help you choose more efficiently the designs, type of wood
and size of something. Aside from the internet, there are also magazines
and books that hold information on this topic. If you are armed with
knowledge, chances are you wouldn't be fooled by false information and
misleading advertisements.
