How To Find The Best Organic Crib Mattress
With so many organic crib mattresses on the market, how do you know which is the best organic crib mattress?
If you are looking for a truly organic crib mattress at a store that does not specialize in organic crib mattresses, chances are, it is not 100% organic. Did you know that a lot of big name companies carry so-called "organic" crib mattresses but in fact they are not 100% organic. A mattress has to be only 95% organic for it to be considered organic. A crib mattress may be made with 95% organic materials but then covered with a plastic vinyl covering which emits toxic fumes. There's no need to spend the extra money for this so-called organic mattress if it's still harmful to your baby.
Here are some things to consider when looking for the best organic crib mattress.
Things To Consider When Buying A Crib Mattress:
-
Does it have a plastic protective covering which emits chemical fumes?
-
Is it made of synthetic materials instead of organic cotton and wool?
-
Is it made of foam which off-gasses toxic chemical fumes?
-
Has it been sprayed with fire-retardant chemicals?
-
Is it tested to be 100% organic or is it just labeled "organic"?
