Non-toxic, Waterproof Organic Baby Mattresses
Have you ever considered how many toxic substances and chemicals can be found in your mattress? It’s not something we think about everyday, although we should, considering we spend approximately 1/3 of our lives sleeping, in our BEDS!! Our toxic BEDS!
It’s a huge commitment to remove the toxins from our controlled environment, because it requires a ton of research and knowledge and it’s also a financial burden. But, when it comes to our babies, we have the opportunity to start fresh with all the healthiest alternatives so that they can benefit from a toxic free living environment. They need a lot of stuff in their early years, so why not purchase quality products that won’t harm them in the long-run.
Most mattresses contain fire retardants such as PBDEs or boric acid, which are highly toxic and are known to have ill effects through inhalation alone. One of the many other chemicals found in mattresses, comes from the breakdown of polyurethane foam. This substance causes high levels of off-gasing and is known to be a carcinogen.
Organic mattresses are a much healthier and wiser choice. They contain no synthetic materials so no off-gasing can occur. If they are made of organic wool, there is no fire-retardant off-gasing because wool is a natural fire retardant. And organic mattresses made with natural rubber are naturally anti-microbial, hypo-allergenic and resistant to dust mites which is a huge benefit to allergy and asthma sufferers.
Naturepedic offers a great selection of organic cotton crib mattresses which are also waterproof! No one wants a crib accident that seeps right down to the core of the mattress! That would be impossible to clean.
Naturepedic guarantees that their organic mattresses are free of phthalates, vinyl (PVC), polyurethane foam, PBDEs, polyacrylonitrile, modacrylic, antimony and scrap or pig hair fibre pads.
Organic cotton mattresses naturally have a low combustion rate when ignited. But, in addition, Naturepedic uses flamebreaker, a non-toxic, natural fire retardant.
