Switching to an Organic Mattress Can Reduce an Infants’ Exposure to Toxins

June 1, 2019 by Dennis Hornick

The dangers that conventional mattresses pose to the health of infants are staggering. Hidden behind huge safety seals and certified markings on product labels are inconvenient truths behind government-imposed safety and regulatory standards, which, in realityaren’t all that strict. To most manufacturers, the priority is often to push the product out of their factory doors for as little cost as possible so that they can make the most profit. Thatis why organic mattress manufacturers follow their own set of guidelines when it comes to creating products that promote health and ensure the safety and comfort of users.

Infants and toddlers in their developing stages are especially vulnerable to the health dangers that mattresses bring. According to a study by the UOT (University of Texas), new crib mattresses release as much as 4x the amount of VOCs released by old crib mattresses. Not only this, baby’s body heat also increases chemical reaction, and in turn intensifies emissions. The release of these toxic chemicals are strongest in the immediate breathing zone of a sleeping infant. That is why parents should especially be mindful of their bedding choices and seriously consider switching to an organic mattress for baby’s crib.

All the unhealthy components that are typically found in conventional crib mattresses should be reason enough for you to reconsider your mattress choice . A regular mattress may contain toxic chemicals ranging from brominated fire retardants to cheap glues, PVC, and many other potentially harmful substances that could have adverse effects on a child’s health and development. Exposure to these chemicals can cause all kinds of health issues in a developing child, whereas an organic mattress can protect them from getting exposed to the same chemicals that often lead to adverse health effects. Ensuring baby’s safety while they sleep is crucial.,
