The Clean Bedroom
230 Fifth Ave.
Lobby 10

Comfortable as many beds may be, some are made with toxins or petrochemicals we'd rather not be breathing in six or eight or what-have-you hours a night, seven nights a week. The Clean Bedroom offers an alternative: mattresses comprised of materials found in nature, such as wool or pesticide-free cotton. (Mattress toppers, pillows, air purifiers, and sheets too.) This store appeals to those looking to make their entire home environmentally friendly to allergy-sufferers to anyone who wants to be able to pronounce the ingredients they ingest and use.
