Organic Crib Mattresses
Consumers can buy organic food, organic skin care products and yes, you read it right, organic mattresses. Organic products are gaining popularity as fast as they are flying off the shelves. What are organic crib mattresses and why are they good for your baby?.
The majority of crib mattresses today contain polyurethane foam, vinyl (PVC), phthalates, chemical fire retardants, and an extensive list of added industrial chemicals. While the effects of these chemicals on your baby are largely unknown, these chemicals, in large amounts, have been linked to various childhood health problems. Some believe that they may play a role with the occurrence of SIDS in some babies. This information has been cause for many new parents to seek other product options for the mattress their child will spend a large amount of their infant to toddler years resting upon.
Organic crib mattresses are produced without any of the harmful chemicals traditional non-portable and portable crib mattresses contain. They’re made of 100% organic material, most of which is organic cotton. Organically grown cotton is great for the environment and absolutely the healthiest choice you can make for you and your family.
Just like with food and dairy products, organic mattresses must meet federal regulations and standards. The material must meet standards like being produced from renewable resources and include the conservation of soil and water to ensure the health of the environment for the future. If a product is stamped as 100% organic, by federal law, it cannot contain ingredients that harm the environment or are synthetically produced.
While you may have trouble finding organic crib mattresses in your local baby stores there are numerous sites on the internet where you can find organic mattresses as well as other organic products created to make your baby healthier and his environment safer.
