Sleep Well Little One

When we had our first son, I never considered that his mattress could cause him harm.  I didn't know that traditional baby mattresses were toxic. 

Most crib mattresses are covered in a PVC/Vinyl coating which is now known for containing harmful phthalates and emitting harmful VOCs.  This is commonly referred to as offgassing.  The interior of the matresses are often no better.  Most contain petroleum product foams and chemical flame retardants that also release harmful VOCs.  When you consider how much babies sleep, this is all quite frightening.  I encourage you to read more about this.  I would also like to note that they are recommended by Healthy Child Healthy World (who I adore).

When I heard about Naturepedic I was more than intrigued.  I wanted to try see one of these mattresses in action.  I contacted them and they were happy to be a part of this event.  I am more thrilled to include them though!

When the mattress arrived I was immediately in love.  I received the seamless design No-Compromise Organic Cotton Ultra with Dual Firmness.  I love the seamless design.  It fits snug into my daughter's crib (turned day bed!)  She loves it.  The seamless model offers a more hygienic design than the traditional design with decorative trim.  This mattress also offers dual firmness,  one side is slightly firm for infants, the other slightly soft for toddlers.  It will provide your child with a more natural, healthy and comfortable sleep environment

My daughter calls it her new bed and the first few times she took a nap in it, I had to join her.  She wanted her Mommy and I was happy to be there.  Thankfully her bed it quite sturdy.  I fell more in love with the mattress.  It is so comfortable and there are no weird chemical smells like with other mattresses.  I want one of these for our queen bed.  We purchased a mattress a few years ago and I'm just not a fan of it.  It's not comfortable at all.  I wish I had known about Naturepedic then.  If this interests you as well, have a look at their larger mattresses.

I love this mattress and highly recommend it.  It is, by far, the best crib mattress that I have ever seen.  Naturepedic wants your baby to sleep safely too.

Organic is a no-brainer, if only it weren't for the cost! I think an organic mattress would really help our family live green.

I'd love to have an organic mattress not only because we're trying to LIVE GREEN, but to limit the exposure my baby will have to chemical from offgassing from the mattress.

You should choose organic because the harmful chemicals aren't good for your baby and it's better for all our bodies to live green.

Among so many other reasons, I think that exposing your kids to as few chemicals as you can just makes good sense. There's no telling what will be deemed unsafe 10-20 years from now that currently is seen as safe and logically chemicals fall into that category somewhere. Something that they spend so much time on is a great place to start!

You should choose an organic mattress because it provides non-toxic fire protection and food grade waterproofing for your baby.
I have been researching this and am thrilled to see this blog post! Live Green!
