What if one of the biggest ways to create a healthier home is hiding right underneath you while you sleep? In this episode, Ginny sits down with Tim Masters, founder of My Green Mattress and a mattress maker since his teenage years, to unpack what’s actually inside the place where we spend nearly a third of our lives.

Tim shares the remarkable story of how his daughter’s eczema and allergies led him to create an organic crib mattress—and eventually launch My Green Mattress in 2007. They explore flame retardants, fiberglass, foams, off-gassing, and what families should look for when choosing a mattress, along with the surprising benefits of wool for breathability, temperature regulation, comfort, and durability.

Tim also shares what nearly four decades of mattress-making have taught him about craftsmanship, why old-fashioned button tufting matters, and how buying fewer, better-made things can pay off for years. It’s a fascinating look at sleep, healthier homes, and the craftsmanship behind something we use every single night.
