Product Description

Standard Ecobaby Organic Latex Crib Mattress  6" thick
USA made by Pure Rest /Ecobaby Organics. Our 27.5 x 51.5" standard sized crib mattress for 28 x 52" crib is made with a natural rubber core (also known as latex ) and is more secure for your infant to sleep on since it is not filled with dangerous chemicals that can make your baby sick. The batting and filling in a ordinary crib mattress is treated with chemicals to make itflameresistant. Those identical chemicals that are added as a safety measure are truly hurting our babies instead. These chemicals filter through the vinyl cover and can be absorbed into your baby's body and breathed into his or her respiratory system. This can causeshortness of breath, skin irritations and rashes, allergic outcomes, and the most awful of all, SIDS.

Putting together chemicals with a vinyl covering makes the danger even worse. In a study using mice, as soon as the mice wereputon the vinyl covering, they were noted to have a twenty six percent deduction in the flow of air. We suppose that these factors combined have been responsible for many instances of SIDS. Ponder about the "Back to Sleep" Campaign that has successfully declined the rate of SIDS. The cases of sudden infant death went from 5,000 a year to 3,000 a year simply by following this one step. The most likely reason this worked is because the baby's face was being turned away from candidly breathing in those chemical off-gasses that their faces were pointed at? It is reasonable to think that the other 3,000 cases of SIDS that still take place because the chemicals are still being absorbed by the babies bodies and indirectly breathed into their respiratory systems. Of course, SIDS is not the only bother, though it is the focal one. There are still worries with other types of sickness developed from allergic reactions.

There is no reason for this to be. Our natural rubber crib mattress starts with a 6” natural latex core. No synthetic materials at all are added to this to cut costs. It is 100% pure natural rubber. Natural rubber is the most superior support for any person’s bone structure, but especially a toddler since children’s bones develop most during the ages of 2-6 years. Wrapped around the rubber core is organic cotton batting, followed by a thick layer of organic wool. The organic wool is extremely vital due to the fact that it in itself is a nature's made flame retardant and stands up to all the regulations of the Consumer Product Safety Commission without the use of one single chemical. Not even minute traces of compound can be located on our wool for the reason that it is carded on a private machine that is only used for organic wool. Then the mattress is topped with premium European organic cotton fabric and quilted to organic cotton mattress ticking to prevent shifting. The sides are then covered in organic wool to prevent moisture from ruining it. This makes a strong mattress that is breathable, safe, and healthy for your baby.

Don't Settle For Simply Any Natural Rubber


You can trust that our rubber/latex is pure natural rubber and not mixed with synthetic materials. It is 100% chemical free and routinely tested to ensure that you get the top quality. Other products you see that are labeled Natural (Or Organic) Rubber (Or latex) can simply means that it has natural rubber included in it. It does not always indicate that it is 100% natural rubber or that it is chemical free. In fact many of these are mixed with up to 60% synthetic materials.


The Way Natural Rubber Is Made:


Natural rubber, (also called latex) comes from tapping rubber trees, or Hevea Brasiliensis. You can find these in Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Sri Lanka. The latex used in our mattresses usually comes from Sri Lanka. Latex is not the sap of the rubber tree as many people assume. It actually flows from latex ducts just under the bark. To obtain the latex, a sharp knife is used to shave a very thin layer off of an intact section of bark. If it is cut too thick or deep there is a possibility of killing the tree,so it is a precise objective. The latex then drips down and is collected into a cup. After collection, the latex is whipped with air to form a foam. The foam is then heated to produce a foam rubber. This material conforms to the shape of your head and body, giving amazing support while minimizing pressure on your joints and back. This provides an even support like innerspring mattresses cannot.



Recommended Accessories:



Organic Cotton Barrier Cover Keeps dust mites from infesting in your child's crib mattress and leaving their waste. Dust mite waste is known to be a key cause of allergic rhinitis (colds) all year long.

Fitted or Flat Wool Puddle Pad. This organic wool puddle pad is knowledgeably felted to keep leaks and spills away from your mattress.

Organic Cotton Mattress Pad Adds softness and comfort to your child's firm mattress. The mattress pad also works with the puddle pad by absorbing the leaks or spills and pulling them away from your baby's skin. Your sheet will also help with this, but is not as effective as the mattress pad.



The following are some elements that could be found in other mattresses:



Formaldehyde - A colorless flammable gas. Low levels can trigger aggravation of eyes, nose, throat & skin.

Antimony- A silvery white metal found in the earth's crust. Can inflame eyes and lungs, cause heart and lung problems, stomach pain, diarrhea, vomiting and stomach ulcers.

Arsenic -A naturally occurring element found on the earth's crust. Coming in contact with to lower levels for a long time can set off a discoloration of the skin and the outward show of minor corns or warts.

Cadmium - A natural element in the crust of the planet. Cadmium damages the lungs, can initiate kidney disease, and may irritate the digestive tract.

PBDE's - Lower brominated PBDE's can affect the hormone levels in the thyroid gland. A selection of concentrations can be connected to reproductive and neurological risks.

Keep in mind that chiefly babies will be highly susceptible to the fumes from these irritants. People with allergies can be affected by TRACES of the irritant. (There is no need to worry that your baby might be allergic to wool. Frequently when a person reacts to wool, the cause is the chemicals that are added to wool that they are reacting to. Natural wool is non-allergenic.) We have to stop and reflect how these harmful chemicals can affect our little ones with brand new sensitive skin and respiratory systems.




Poison MattressThe chief retail website for customary (not organic) crib mattresses was asked to disclose the elements in their baby mattresses. They replied that the top layer just under the vinyl contains a fire blocker which provides protection and gentle sleep for the baby.

That fire blocker is actually 7.5% boric acid, which is vital for killing roaches, and 2.4 % antimony, which is generally similar to arsenic. In Europe, researchers have discovered that antimony actually leaks through the vinyl and can be absorbed by an infant's tiny body. They have directly accredited high antimony levels to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome.
