Most mattresses are made of PVC, polyester and foam. They are then doused with flame-retardant chemicals, formaldehyde, PBDE's and other toxic glues, stains and coatings. These chemicals off-gas for up to 10 years! Many of these chemicals have been linked to all sorts of health disorders including SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome). This could be one reason why doctors recommend that parents flip babies over on their backs in their cribs (so they are not face down into the mattresses breathing the chemical gas).
Buy organic and guarantee that your baby will not be exposed to these chemicals that have been proven to reduce breathing and are implicated in SIDS. Our organic mattresses meet NEW regulations for flame retardancy featuring only natural fibers: an organic wool layer quilted to the organic cotton outer - NO CHEMICALS ! Most companies do not.
