Also, these chemicals could attract bed bugs and dust mites, causing people who own the memory foam mattress to replace theirs constantly .
The main reason why people turn to a memory foam mattress isn’t the feel, its the price . Green mattresses are more on the expensive side compared to memory foam mattresses. Customers could buy a memory foam mattress for less than half the price of a green mattress! So if the customer was restricted because of pricing, they might be limited to only buying a memory foam mattress.

On the other hand, if the customer were to buy a green mattress, it would take a long time before it would need to be replaced. Green mattresses have the lifespan of 10-15 years or even more if they are treated well. So it would a one-time payment for almost 2 decades of use than many payments in the same amount of time.
The better choice is getting a green mattress because it won’t encourage mold growth, attract bedbugs or dust mites, and it is also breathable and durable so the mattresses has longevity while not emitting toxic chemicals. In the long run, a green mattress is also cheaper than a memory foam mattress.
