Clean Air and Clean Sleep: Why Your Home Environment Matters
There’s nothing quite like crawling into bed at the end of a long day. But what if the very mattress you’re sinking into or the air you’re breathing is quietly working against your rest? Clean sleep isn’t just about comfort. It’s about creating an environment that nurtures your body and your health every night.
At Fontana, we spend a lot of time thinking about what goes into our candles. They are designed to fill your home with scent without filling your air with unwanted chemicals. And over time, we realized that the same principles we use for candles apply to something you spend hours on every night: your mattress. Both impact your health, both affect the air you breathe, and both deserve careful consideration.
The Hidden Chemicals in Everyday Products
Many products in our homes can release VOCs. Traditional scented candles can emit undisclosed chemicals from synthetic fragrance, and conventional mattresses often off gas from flame retardants, adhesives, and foams. These compounds quietly affect your air quality and the spaces where your body rests and recovers.
The takeaway is simple: the products you bring into your home matter. The air you breathe and the surfaces you sleep on are just as important as what you eat or drink.
Ingredients That Make a Difference
One of the biggest challenges in choosing clean products is knowing what is actually inside them. “Natural” or “eco-friendly” labels are often vague. That is why ingredient transparency is so important, whether it is for a candle or a mattress.
For candles, look for simple ingredients like beeswax, coconut oil, and pure essential oils. Avoid petroleum-based waxes, and undisclosed ingredients often hidden under the word ‘fragrance’.
For mattresses, prioritize naturally derived materials such as organic cotton, natural latex, wool, and steel coils. Avoid mattresses with polyurethane foams, flame retardants, or chemical adhesives that can off-gas into your bedroom over time. Products that list all materials clearly and carry third-party certifications give you extra confidence in your sleep environment.
Bringing Clean Air and Clean Sleep Together
This shared commitment to transparency, safer ingredients, and healthier homes is exactly why Fontana and Naturepedic are teaming up. Both brands were built on the belief that what surrounds your body every day should support your health, not compromise it.
Naturepedic has long been a leader in organic, non-toxic mattresses and bedding, setting rigorous standards for materials, certifications, and manufacturing. Fontana brings that same level of care to home fragrance, proving that candles can be both beautiful and truly clean. Together, we are bringing clean air and clean sleep into the same space.
As part of this partnership, Fontana candles will be available in 17 Naturepedic stores across the United States, making it easier than ever to shop brands that share the same values under one roof.
Fontana candles were the first candle to earn MADE SAFE® certification. Naturepedic mattresses have achieved the same certification and require the same standards for their products. Both show that thoughtful ingredients, transparency, and certification can make a real difference in the spaces where we breathe and rest.
Creating a Healthier Home
Clean sleep and clean air share the same values: simple, safe ingredients, full transparency, and third-party certifications Choosing products that meet these standards is about reducing unnecessary chemical exposure where it matters most. Lighting a clean candle while resting on a certified mattress is more than a cozy habit. It is a small but meaningful step toward a healthier home environment.
At Fontana, we believe that what you breathe should be just as thoughtfully considered as what you sleep on. Every decision, from the candles you light to the mattress you choose, can help create a space that supports your well-being, your rest, and your long-term health.
