Natural Mat Coco Crib Mattress $399 The Coco Mat is the most breathable and organic cot mattress. It is made from coir (the husk of a coconut) from the only organic coir plantation in the world and is certified by Control Union, one of the world’s most reputable inspection organizations for organic products. The coir is coated with a natural latex to add extra support and spring to the cot mattress. An anti-dust mite lambswool lines the inside of the mattress adding comfort, good ventilation and insulation. The Coco Mat creates a safe, comfortable and natural sleeping environment for any crib. Where does coir come from? Coir comes from coconut husks. The husks are soaked for up to six months, the coir fibres are then recovered from the coconut pulp by a beating process which separates the fibres from the pith of the outer skin of the coconut. The fibres are then dried and coated with a natural latex solution to make the coir more supportive and breathable. It is then placed in a heated press which compresses the product to the density and thickness we require for our mattresses. Unique Benefits Of Coir: Natural Mat’s coir is certified by Control Union, one of the world’s most reputable inspection organizations for organic products. Coir has excellent temperature regulating qualities which prevents babies from over heating whilst they sleep. Coir is naturally anti-dust mite which means it is perfect for all allergy sufferers. It is very breathable and provides good ventilation and insulation. Because of its natural springy quality coir is very supportive. Dimensions: 28" x 52", 3.5" thick From the Makers of Natural Mat: We wanted our babies and children to sleep safely and comfortably in the best, most natural environment, which is why we started The Natural Mat Company. As new parents, we saw how tiredness and anxiety can easily spoil the joy of life with a new baby. When our children were tiny we didn’t want to settle for the standard synthetic baby mattress. We discovered the amazing potential of natural and organic materials like organic coir, latex and organic cotton – so much healthier, more functional and more satisfying that synthetics. Using the best raw ingredients, we created a range of hand-crafted baby mattresses that are superbly comfortable, breathable, washable, non-allergenic and a delight to use – ensuring the best possible night’s sleep for baby and parent. Natural Mat’s products are true to the values which we and many other parents believe in: use of natural and organic materials; care for the environment; and understanding, expert service. They’re for parents who want the best, with no compromises; who expect stylish, well-designed products which perform superbly well, at least environmental cost.Gift Wrap not available.

How to Green Your Baby’s Life: Switch to an All-Natural Baby Mattress (Part 2)

For A Healthier Baby Nursery, Select An Organic Crib Mattress

Why should you consider an organic crib mattress for our baby? After all, as long as it’s safe and comfortable, your baby will fine right? Well, maybe.

Many parents-to-be are unaware that conventional mattresses are typically made with synthetic materials that can break down and release harmful chemicals into the air. Babies, with their sensitive immune systems, can be particularly susceptible to inhaling these chemicals or absorbing them through the skin.

Organic mattresses are made from eco-friendly materials such as organic cotton which do not contain the same toxins and chemicals. Thus, the purchase of an organic crib mattress along with natural wood furniture and other eco-friendly products can help you create a healthier nursery that benefits not only your baby, but your family and the environment as well.

Whether you’re awaiting the birth of your first child or already have children, you probably already know that newborn babies tend to need a lot of rest. In fact, according to experts, babies can initially spend an average of 16 hours a day asleep!
Given this fact, the sleeping environment you prepare for your baby is especially important. Read on to find out more about the dangers of traditional crib mattresses and why buying a natural crib mattress is a better choice.

Conventional Crib Mattresses

• Many conventional mattresses are filled with polyurethane foam which contains a variety of chemical additives. In fact, polyurethane, a petroleum product, contains known carcinogens. In addition, it is extremely flammable.
• To address the danger of using polyurethane foam, manufacturers treat mattresses with toxic industrial flame retardants that contain harmful ethers such as polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs). PBDEs can leach out of the mattress and into the air. They have been linked to thyroid problems and other neurobehavioral disruptions. Due to this danger, PBDEs have been banned in Europe since 2004. In the United States, legislation banning manufacturers’ use of PBDEs has been passed in the states of California and Washington.
• Conventional mattresses typically have an outer shell made from vinyl/PVC (polyvinyl chloride) which contains phthalates. Phthalates are animal carcinogens and have been linked to damage of the liver, kidneys, lungs and reproductive systems.

Young children are particularly vulnerable to toxins and chemicals, especially during the first years of life so you don’t want to expose your baby to these dangers unnecessarily. Let’s take a look at some of the benefits of organic crib mattresses.

Organic Crib Mattresses

• Manufactured with eco-friendly materials such as certified organic cotton which is grown without synthetic pesticides, heavy metals or genetically modified organisms.
• Waterproof layers are constructed from polyethylene which is considered to be non-toxic and environmentally friendly.
• Constructed with non-toxic fire protectants.
• Manufacturing materials and processes are better for the environment.

It is important to note that manufacturers can be somewhat liberal with labeling. So be sure to do your research. Review the product information and look for crib mattresses made with “100% certified organic” fibers.

As you plan your baby’s nursery, think about how a particular product will contribute to the environment you are creating for your precious little one. You would never willingly lie your baby down on a pile toxins and carcinogens that you could see. So remember that there are unseen dangers as well. The good news is that you can make healthier choices for your child. An organic crib mattress is a great first step.
