What I Use in My Home

Here’s what I use in my own home. If you’d rather do a detailed product comparison with health ratings, check out each category’s page in the Shop. If you’re looking for basic concepts and strategies to make your home healthier, take a look at the Invisible Five.

Bedroom

Pillow

I have the Molded Organic Latex neck support pillow from Avocado because I’m a slide sleeper. I like it so much, I got the mini version for traveling. See all pillows and their ratings here.

Mattress

I’ve had the Avocado Green Mattress for 6 years now. I got the pillow top option for medium firmness, and still love it. There are so many great natural mattress options now— I have to admit I chose Avocado in part because their branding was cute, but I’m glad I did. See all mattresses and their ratings here.

Sheets

My sheets, duvet cover, and pillowcases are from Magic Linen. I got them for their colors and OEKO TEX certification. Discount code IMBUNDLE get you 15% off bundles. See all bedding and their ratings here.

Bed Frame

I have an inexpensive bed frame from Amazon. It’s sturdy, super simple, made of steel, and matches my 1904 house’s vibe. See all bed frames and their ratings here.

Duvet Inserts

I use these wool duvet inserts from Woolroom. I use the Light option most of the year, and their Medium option during the winter. Super warm, but also thermoregulating, so I never get sweaty. See all duvet inserts and comforters and their ratings here.

Alarm Clock

I use the Bagby digital-free alarm in the dark walnut color. I’m anti- cell phone in the bedroom, and this is inexpensive, totally quiet, and free of little blinky lights. See all alarm clocks here.

Light Bulbs

I use these super-warm Hudson Bulb Co. incandescent bulbs in my bedside lamps so I get minimal blue light exposure when reading or getting ready for bed. They’re so cozy. See all light bulbs here.

Air Purifier

The Coway Airmega was my first “healthy home purchase” ever. I have their white one and use it in the bedroom because it’s so quiet and effective. See all air purifiers and their ratings here.

Living Room

Couch

I have Medley’s Mota Bumper Sectional in natural latex and wool. The fabric is cotton canvas (which is now sold out). It’s custom sized to be extra long for our long and skinny living room. See all couches and their ratings here.

Throw Pillow Inserts

I use a combination of the Avocado molded latex pillow, Parachute down inserts, Magic Linen pillow covers, and hand-sewn pillow cases for the ever-rotating collection of throw pillows on my couch. See them all here.

Air Purifier

I have the Austin Air HealthMate Plus air purifier in the living room because it covers 1,000 square feet, and absorbs VOCs, which tend to be more prevalent in my house than PM 2.5. I also got it in part because the filter lasts 5 (!!) years and as far as air purifiers go, it’s not ugly. See all air purifiers and their ratings here.

Linen Couch Pad

I love dogs, and when it’s finally the right time for me to get one, I’ll be getting this linen sofa topper pad to protect my couch. See all couches and their ratings here.

Bathroom

Shower Curtain

While I’d love to use a natural fiber, my small bathroom is north-facing and in rainy Portland. So, I use this recyclable non-toxic PEVA option from Outlines to prevent mold and mildew. Save 15% with code INTERIOR_MEDICINE. See all shower curtains and their ratings here.

Bath Mat

I use the Dorai Bath Stone to prevent mold and mildew— and honestly because I was tired of washing and drying a bath mat all the time! Use code INTMED15 for 15% off. See all bath mats and stones here.

Towels

When I painted my bathroom door green, I got these 100% cotton OEKO TEX certified ones from Target in a pinch so they’d match. See all bath towels and their ratings here.

Shower Filter

I use this filter from WaterSticks because it’s NSF certified to remove chlorine, gimmick-free, and only needs replacing every year. See all shower filters here.

Kitchen

Indoor Air Quality Monitor

I use the Airthings View Plus in my kitchen to track PM 2.5 and VOCs from cooking, and to keep an eye on radon levels, since the kitchen is on the first floor. Use code INTERIORMED-10OFF for 10% off. See all indoor air quality monitors here.

Dish Rack

This is my dish rack! It’s the Dorai Dish Rack 2.0 — it dries instantly and I got it because I didn’t want to wash a towel regularly or use a plastic tray. Use code INTMED15 for 15% off. See all dish racks here.
