WHY DOES MY BABY NEED A NATURAL ORGANIC CRIB MATTRESS?
Nearly all crib mattresses today use vinyl/PVC as the mattress cover and polyurethane foam as the filling material. These materials have been shown to release or “leach out” potentially harmful chemicals such as phthalates and PBDEs (read the Five Problems With Crib Mattresses). Organic crib mattresses do not contain these chemicals. They offer a healthy and safer alternative to conventional crib mattress offerings.

The covering material does not contain any PVC’s, unlike old style mattresses.
It provides a hygienic, anti-allergenic, breathable and moisture resistant surface which is wipe clean and washable, but at the same time allows air to pass through the material thus reducing perspiration and giving your baby a more comfortable nights sleep.
