The organic crib mattresses that we offer at
Dandelion Summers are made of 100%
natural materials and are thus free of synthetic
chemicals. The use of an inner layer of wool makes our organic
crib mattresses naturally fire
resistant without the use of chemicals. All organic crib
mattresses pass all safety regulations and CPSC guidelines and fire
retardant regulations, including California’s.
Our babies and children spend a considerable
amount of time sleeping. It makes sense to have the healthiest possible
sleeping surface for your baby and children. Conventional crib
mattresses are made of polyurethane foam, polyester and vinyl and
treated with chemicals, including fire retardants. There is
concern about the off-gassing of these mattress materials.
Polyurethane foam, for instance, off-gasses toluene (an industrial
solvent and a VOC - volatile organic chemical). A group of fire
retardants known as PBDE’s are used in conventional crib
mattresses. These chemicals have been found to accumulate in the
human body. A great cause for concern is its affect on
children’s learning and behavior.
Synthetic materials are not breathable, like
natural materials are. The all natural materials of our organic crib
mattresses allow for better air flow and help the body maintain
a more
comfortable temperature.
Please read about each of our organic crib
mattresses and choose the one that would best suit your needs.
