Hi there
Is it better to avoid sleeping on innerspring mattresses because the metal can act as a 'transmitter' of electricity?
I have been searching this site for a reference to the mattress question - I thought I read something about it on this site but I can't find it now.
Thanks!

I found the article by doing a Google search bed for
'springs +radiation + Powerwatch'.
www.powerwatch.org.uk/library/.../appliances_1_intro_a_c-20100429.pdf
You need to look here:
Electrical Appliances Section 1 Intro and Beds page 4/10
It says:
"Metal
Some mattresses contain individually coiled springs. These can resonate at RF/microwave frequencies and produce 'pools' of increased RF all over the bed.
Springs usually end up magnetised in the manufacturing process. Beds with metal frames and bedsprings can become magnetised due to domestic wiring and electrical appliances in the bedroom. This means that the person lying on the bed is effectively lying on lots of magnets which can produce large field gradients over short distances – like very bad geomagnetic/geopathic stress. There is increasing concern about this. Metal (steel or iron) bed
frames can also do this but to a smaller extent as the metal is further away from your body than the springs you lie on. On the mattress, the fields' distortions can be several times larger than the earth's magnetic field (which is about 50 microtesla static field in the UK.)
Bedframes can be de-gaussed, but places capable of doing this are scarce. If concerned, find an alternative bed-base and unsprung mattress, preferably made with natural materials.'
