Organic Mattresses and Bedding

As you plan for your new baby, the need for a crib and a quality mattress will eventually need to be addressed. But what kind of mattress should you purchase? The lower priced standard type mattress, or a slightly higher cost organic mattress?

The standard crib mattress comes with quite a few features you may not know about, but should be warned about. The standard synthetic mattress can give off lethal fumes as it ages, and has been linked to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. Also, the life span is said to much shorter with the standard synthetic mattress.

The organic crib mattress on the other hand, is a much safer alternative. There are no fumes to worry about as the mattress ages, and the life span is going to be much longer due to being made from natural sturdy materials like wool and cotton. You wont have to worry about dried cracked plastics and the potential fire danger of an old and aging synthetic mattress.

While the cost of the organic crib mattress may be higher then the standard synthetic design, the advantages are well worth the extra buck or two. A healthier baby makes for a happier baby, and we all want our children safe, healthy and happy. And with the added life span, your next child may enjoy the same comfort and safety as their older siblings. Definitely worth the little bit of extra money.

When you are purchasing a mattress and bedding for your children, you want to consider several factors. Of course you want the bedding to match the decor of their bedroom, but there are safety and health issues that need to come first.

Firstly, you would be wise to invest in a mattress pad. Kids have accidents all the time, and you want something protecting the mattress that you can clean. Stained mattresses aren’t healthy for little ones to sleep in, and replacing a mattress is an expensive endeavor for any family.

Another feature to be mindful of are the materials that that the fabric is made of. We recommend choosing organic materials when shopping for kids and baby’s bedding. Many children are highly sensitive to non-organic, non-hypoallergenic fabric. Cotton and wool are the best fabric materials, and even bamboo is a good choice. These are breathable materials, so moisture can be released from the organic kid’s bedding.

Don’t forget pillows! What your kid’s pillows are filled with should be paid attention to. Great pillows are those made with down filling, as they are cool and comfortable. You might also want to investigate molded hypoallergenic foams for children with allergies. Pillows with foam bead filling should be avoided since it has been known to be a choking hazard.
