Natural Baby Mattresses

INNERSPRING
The innerspring mattresses are the more traditional type mattresses. The
Rose Cloud mattress is our most popular mattress for babies. If you
would like something with additional natural fire protection, then the
Terra Verde Crib Mattress is a good choice.
(This
coil count used has been found to be the best coil count for safety and
comfort. When manufactures give coil counts, they normally give the coil
count of a full size mattress. If this was a full size mattress, it
would have 780 coils, which is a super firm.)

| Rose
- Made with ALL natural materials: The only materials used are the
steel innerspring, organic cotton batting, pure grow wool batting, and
organic cotton mattress ticking fabric.
180 coil count. No chemical fire retardants. Unlike other major brands
that say they include natural material, there are No synthetic materials
in this mattress. No chemicals means that there are no chemicals to
off-gas.
(Some major
manufactures are sticking a super thing layer of organic cotton in the
middle of the mattress and then surrounding it with materials that are
synthetic chemicals. There is really no benefit to doing that other than
being able to put on their ads that they include organic cotton.) |

Crib mattresses: 72 percent of models use suspect chemicals,
advocacy group says. "Nearly
three-quarters of crib mattresses in this country contained “suspect
or dangerous” chemicals, underscoring the need to reform the federal
laws that govern chemical use."

Cause For Alarm Over Synthetic Fire Retardants -
"Researchers
say the effects on children are likely to be subtle - not mental
retardation or disability, but measurable changes in a child's
intelligence, memory hyperactivity and hearing. 'We're concerned about
learning and memory and some behavioral effects and hearing loss,' Linda Birnbaum, director of experimental toxicology at the EPA's
National Health and Environmental Effects Research Laboratory
said."
- Anderson
Laboratories tested respiratory toxicity of mattress emission on mice.
The data demonstrates that some mattresses release toxic (poisonous)
chemicals into the air. The study found tested the fumes from several
types of mattresses, especially ones with vinyl covers and
polyurethane foam cores. The data demonstrated irritation to the
throat, eyes, and nose. Some also had difficulty breathing. Some
developed asthma like reactions. The study can be found in
Environmental Health, 2000, Vol. 55, pp 38-43.

100% Natural Latex versus 100% Latex |
- Please be careful when comparing
mattresses. 100% Latex is not necessarily the same as 100% Natural Latex.
A mattress core can be 100% synthetic latex and still be considered 100%
Latex. It is not entirely natural unless it says it is 100% Natural Latex.
The same goes for Natural Rubber versus 100% Natural Latex. Also, if the price seems too good to be true....it probably is.
Manufactures do not typically use 100% natural latex because it costs so
much more to use. We keep our prices as low as possible without lowering
the quality of our products. We don't cut corners on quality.
