Why Are Organic Crib Mattresses Healthier?

October 22, 2021 by Dennis Hornick

Start your kid off on the ultimate mattress and not some blob of chemicals

A lot of new and soon to-be parents wonder whether organic crib mattresses are truly healthier than traditional mattresses or if everything about organic beddings is nothing but hype. In the past, parents only worried whether or not their child is sleeping well through the night. Today, however, experts say that they have more to worry about because of the volatile organic compounds found in traditional mattresses that can put babies’ health at risk.

A study of old and new crib mattresses found that these sleeping pads release as many as 30 different types of VOCs or volatile organic compounds, among which, include phenol, which is a powerful respiratory and skin irritant. The same study detected many other chemicals in the mattresses, including limonene and linalool, both of which are known allergens that cause skin irritations. Repeated and prolonged exposure of these chemicals and more increases the changes of health damage and allergic reactions, especially in small children.

This is where organic crib mattresses come into play. Because standard crib mattress and bedding materials are exposed to a great number of potentially dangerous toxins and chemicals, they pose great health risks to users. This chemical contamination can occur even as early as the cultivation and harvest of the raw materials down to the final manufacturing processes. While chemical levels of the final product are regulated, there are still certain amounts of potentially dangerous toxins that remain in the mattress, which not only cause the odd “new mattress” smell (often associated with a newly purchased mattress), but may also cause off-gassing of the remaining chemicals as time passes.

Constant exposure to these chemicals can have mild to severe repercussions in your child’s health. In addition to respiratory and skin reactions, chemicals may also cause an entire range of other health complaints over time. From formaldehyde to cancer-causing chemicals, pesticides, and insecticides, standard crib mattresses can be extremely toxic, especially for developing children.

To avoid exposing your children to higher risks of health issues, consider investing in organic mattresses, which are made completely out of natural materials, harvested, produced, and processed organically so as to minimize the occurrence of chemicals in the finished product. Organic crib mattresses are the ultimate choice of many parents who want to keep their newborns and toddlers away from the harmful toxins exhaled by standard mattresses. These chemicals not only have a major health impact on children, but a grave ecological impact on the environment.
