You will spend approximately one third of your life asleep. As a physical person who loses dead skin cells regularly, that means your bed is extraordinarily susceptible to being the gathering spot for many of the less sanitary aspects of life.

It's calculated that after two years of use, one third of a pillow's weight is dead skill cells, dead dust mites, and other less-than-desirable leftovers.

For a long time, there wasn't really anything you could do about this except for replacing your pillows before they became dust mite graveyards and maybe using a mattress cover.

But now, there's a mattress startup whose design philosophy is founded upon being the most comfortable and sanitary bedding option for consumers. Which is why PangeaBed integrates copper into their mattresses, a natural antimicrobial material that's been used to keep things bacteria-free since ancient civilizations. Frankly, it seems unusual it took this long to see something like this in bedding, but it really seems to be the first of its kind.

However, it wouldn't be enough to provide consumers with a sanitary bed if that bed wasn't comfortable. As mentioned earlier, we spend one third of our lives asleep. So while the use of copper also helps PangeaBed tackle the unsanitary environments we sleep in, using copper also makes the comfort and quality of our sleep better. Copper is a well-known thermal conductor, so the PangeaBed's use of it also helps to create a mattress that is better able to redistribute heat, making for a more temperature-controlled sleeping experience.

It's also made with 100% pure Talalay latex rather than heat-retaining memory foam or cheaper, man-made latex options more commonly substituted. Talalay latex is produced by a unique process that involves extracting the rubber from trees in a sustainable way and then transforming that natural rubber into the latex used in a bed like PangeaBed's. It's supposed to give 33% more pressure relief than conventional foam and be four times more breathable than memory foam. Since the material is supposed to provide a balance between comfort, durability, and feel, each piece is robotically tested in nine areas for consistency and uniformity. While more expensive to use, it's more consistent than the Dunlop latex common in mattresses.

They're made in the US, and probably due to the fact that it's made with superior products, each Copper Mattress has a 10-year warranty. In case ordering online causes you some reservations, you can try it for 100 nights risk-free.

If you want to actually make your sleeping experience as sanitary as possible, there's really nothing else on the market like the PangeaBed.
