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.
