What Makes Organic Crib Mattresses Safer?
Aside from the lack of potentially harmful chemicals in the growing and processing of the components involved, organic mattresses are safer for a few other reasons. First, organic mattresses are hypoallergenic as organic wool and natural rubber or latex repels dust mites, mildew and mold. Next, firm mattresses are recommended for infants because it gives them better support and there is less chance of suffocation against fluffy mattress tops; organic mattresses are evenly firm and comfortable, an effect that is difficult to achieve with a standard spring mattress. Finally, temperature regulation is a must for an infant’s overnight comfort and overheating has also been linked to SIDS; organic wool naturally regulates body temperature and draws moisture away from baby’s skin for a more comfortable sleep and safer sleep, especially when used in conjunction with natural, toxin free bedding.
