You could be saving the planet in your sleep, or at least minimizing the impact of your mattress on the planet. Eco-friendly mattresses differ from the standard bed in that they use greener materials and fewer chemicals, and are recyclable.
MATERIALS
The visible outer layer of a typical mattress is made of polyester, which may also be blended with cotton. Polyester is typically petroleum-based and non-biodegradable. Greener manufacturers stick to organic cotton or wool.
The squishy stuff under the cover is often polyurethane and polyester quilting and padding surrounding wire coils. Arguably, the most eco-friendly mattresses on the market replace all this metal and petroleum-based padding with a core of natural rubber latex.
Flobeds is one of the leaders in natural latex mattresses, but several competitors have entered the natural latex market. Flobeds makes customized beds using three layers of latex in varying firmnesses. The latex is made with no petrochemicals from sustainably harvested, natural and renewable rubber trees.

Amanda asks: I just purchased a new full sized mattress. I have an old full fized metal bed frame (not headboard etc, just the frame) that has a broken wheel so I'm looking to replace that as well. The question is, is a bed frame with the center cross bar necessary?
saaanen answers: If you have a box spring, the center support isn't necessary.
If you don't have a box spring, one is necessary for both
Ask the sales guy at the place you bought the mattress set. Some box springs require a center support or the warranty is voided. Some don't need it at all.
K asks: That I can get for $250 or less. I only want memory foam.
answers: Go to a foam outlet store. They will cut it any size you want.
