CRIB MATTRESS COMPARISON CHART

Our organic crib mattress with natural latex is safer for your infant to sleep on because it is made with a natural rubber (latex), organic cotton, and wool. The batting and filling in a regular crib mattress is treated with chemicals to make it fire resistant. Those very chemicals that are added as a safety measure are actually hurting our babies. These chemicals leach through the vinyl cover and can be absorbed into your baby’s body and breathed into their respiratory system. This can cause respiratory problems, skin irritations and rashes, allergic reactions, and the worst of all, SIDS.

Combining chemicals with a vinyl covering makes the danger even worse. In a study using mice, once the mice were placed on the vinyl covering, they were shown to have a 26% reduction in air flow. We believe that these factors combined have been responsible for many crib deaths. Think about the “Back to Sleep” Campaign that has dramatically reduced the occurrence of SIDS. Crib deaths went from 5,000 a year to 3,000 a year just using this one vital piece of advice. What if the reason that crib deaths were reduced is because the baby’s face was being turned away from directly breathing in those chemical off-gasses? What if the other 3,000 cases of SIDS still occurring are because the chemicals are still being absorbed by the babies’ bodies? We believe that’s the case. Not to mention the cases of allergies, sickness, and skin rashes that don’t end in SIDS.

There is a better way, a safer way. Our natural rubber crib mattress starts with a 4.5” natural rubber core. No synthetic materials whatsoever are added to cut costs. It is 100% natural rubber. (See inset photo above.) Natural rubber is the best 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 so important because it in itself is a natural flame retardant and stands up to all the regulations of the Consumer Product Safety Commission without the use of one single chemical. Not even traces of chemical can be found on our wool because 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. This makes a resilient mattress that is breathable, safe, and healthy for your baby.

Features:

* 100% Organic - No synthetic blends, no toxic oils, no chemicals whatsoever.

* Comes with a 10 year fixed warranty. Most Vinyl covered mattresses tear and expose the toxic filling before one child has finished using it, causing you to have to buy a new one for any future children. This mattress can be passed down to every new birth in the family.

*Naomi compliant.

* The natural rubber core is the best support for a toddler‘s bone structure since bones develop most during the ages of 2-6 years. This makes this mattress the perfect choice for converting to a toddler bed.

* Uses non-allergenic organic wool as a flame retardant instead of chemicals.

* 6” thick and meets all the standards of the Consumer Product Safety Commission.

* Breathable because its not covered in vinyl. (You can add a wool puddle pad to keep this mattress clean and free from urine or runny bowel leaks.)

* Certified Organic

Don't Settle For Just 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 best quality. Other products you see that are labeled Natural (Or Organic) Rubber (Or latex) can only means that it has natural rubber in it. It does not mean 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.

How 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 get to 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. 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 major cause of allergic rhinitis (colds) year round.

Fitted or Flat Wool Puddle Pad. This organic wool puddle pad is expertly 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. The sheet will also help with this, but is not as effective as the mattress pad.

Organic Crib Sheets Our super soft sheets have elastic all the way around for a safe tight fit.

Some Chemicals Used In Other Mattresses And The Reactions They Could Cause:

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

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

Arsenic -A naturally occurring element found in the earth's crust. Exposure to lower levels for a long time can cause a discoloration of the skin and the appearance of small corns or warts.

Cadmium - A natural element in the earth’s crust. Cadmium damages the lungs, can cause kidney disease, and may irritate the digestive tract.

PBDE's - Lower brominated PBDE's can affect the hormone levels in the thyroid gland. Certain concentrations can be linked to reproductive and neurological risks.

Keep in mind that particularly infants will be more 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. Often when a person reacts to wool, it is the chemicals used in wool that they are reacting to. Natural wool is non-allergenic.) We have to stop and think how these harmful chemicals can affect our newborns with brand new sensitive skin and respiratory systems.

The top selling retail website for regular (not organic) crib mattresses was asked to disclose the chemicals in their baby mattresses. They replied that the top layer just under the vinyl contains a fire blocker which provides safety and gentle sleep for the baby.

That fire blocker is actually 7.5% boric acid, which is used for killing roaches, and 2.4 % antimony, which is most similar to arsenic. In Europe, researchers have found that antimony actually leaches through the vinyl and can be absorbed by a baby’s body. They have directly related high antimony levels to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome.
