About The Organic Crib Mattress
The best thing you can buy for your baby is an organic crib mattress. One of the reasons it is so beneficial is because it uses 100$ organic cotton. There are no herbicides or pesticides in the cotton. No chemical fertilizers were used in the soil in which the plants grew.
Because organic crib mattresses use natural materials like wool, it is a natural fire resistent material so it is fire retardent without the use of harmful sprays or chemicals. The traditional mattresses use chemicals like antimony, arsenic and others as fire retardent materials and these chemicals emit gases and toxins. For antimony especially, it can be absorbed into the body of the baby.
There may not be instant effects, but it could cause damage in the long term and may even hamper the chlid’s learning abilities. Thankfully, the covers of the organic crib mattress are made out of organic cotton and is waterproof as well as stain resistent. It’s easy to remove these covers to wash.
Another great factor of organic crib mattresses are that they breathe and allow air to circulate within the mattress. This keeps the temperature even. Furthermore, all the rules set forth by the Federal Law agencies are upheld in organic crib mattresses.
Since organic cotton is used, you don’t have to worry about dust mites, pollon and other allergens. This will eliminate the possbility that your baby will develop asthma or other allergies from the mattress. The firmness of the mattress is also good because it provides enough support to make sure that the baby’s spine is aligned and that your baby sleeps correctly.
When you go into a mattress store, don’t fall for the sales person’s pitch. Believe it or not, there are mattress manurfacturers who try to work around the high quality standard requirements for organic mattresses. Make sure you ask the right questions and only purchase if you are completely satisfied. Also make sure you ask about the thickness of the mattress.
You want a thickness of 6 inches. This will allow the baby optimal comfort. Many manufacturers don’t mention this so you need to do your own homework. What you need is a dense and supportive mattress. Consult your pediatrician about which thickness would be optimal for your child.
The size of the mattress should also be perfect. You don’t want a mattress which is too small for the crib. Neither do you want one which is too big for the crib. Make sure it fits snug. Make sure that all the materials used in the construction of the baby crib are organic as well. Try to look for handmade organic crib mattresses as those are usually the highest quality and made from the best materials.
