In this episode we peel back the covers on the \"clean sleep\" movement to reveal what's hiding inside many conventional mattresses. Arin Schultz, Chief Growth Officer at Naturepedic explains how conventional bedding affects your health, how to spot greenwashing, and how hand-crafted, organic materials can transform your sleep quality.
