Why should you buy an Organic Crib Mattress?

We believe that an organic crib mattress is one of the most important purchases you will make as a new parent. It is easy to get overwhelmed with all of the things you are told your baby will need during their first couple of years. One of the most important is your crib mattress. An organic crib mattress offers you the safest and healthiest option for your baby. Conventional crib mattresses can contain toxic chemicals, flame retardants, and off gassing materials. A baby’s immune system, nervous system, and organs are still developing and are so fragile. Organic crib mattresses offer your child a completely natural surface to sleep on with no off gassing or toxins being absorbed into their body. The investment in an all natural organic crib mattress is worth every penny. We offer everything from an affordable organic crib mattress to the most deluxe luxury organic crib mattress. Also, don’t forget that we offer free shipping on every organic crib mattress!

Will an organic wool puddle pad keep the organic crib mattress dry?

Yes! An organic wool puddle pad is the only truly natural way to keep your crib mattress dry (especially if you choose one with cotton on the outside). It is highly recommended that you get an organic wool crib mattress pad to allow the moisture to puddle on top and not go through to the mattress. It is anti bacterial, anti fungal, and prevents dust mites. We do also recommend an organic cotton pad on top of the wool as an absorbent pad so your baby is not laying in the puddle (sheets can only soak up so much).
