Organic Latex Mattresses, like the EcoRest Natura shown here, offer a healthy sleep environment free of chemicals.

For starters, mattresses that are organic not only function as well as traditional varieties, but they are chemical free, which makes them a far healthier choice. Of course, there are many other reasons why an organic crib mattress is the best choice for your baby. For instance, not only are they eco-friendly, they are also safer. Many standard mattresses contain a variety of questionable materials that could have a potentially negative effect on a baby, such as chemical fire retardants and polyurethane foam.

Some experts believe that an organic crib mattress actually allows for better air flow due to its natural ingredients. This free-flowing circulation may actually assist your infant in breathing better. Moreover, it has also been found that organic cotton may lead to fewer occurrences of allergic reactions.

If you decided that an organic mattress is the right choice for your baby, the first thing you should be aware of is the fact that these mattresses are more costly than regular mattresses. Secondly, just because a mattress may be labelled as organic doesn’t necessarily mean that it is. For instance, while many of these products are made with bamboo fibres and organic cotton, sometimes bamboo is mixed with other materials such as rayon, which is not a natural fibre so the product would not be organic.

Therefore, to ensure that the mattress you obtain is 100% organic, make sure the item you are purchasing has received Organic Trade Association (OTA) approval. This should be listed on the product, as well as what the ingredients of the mattress are – whether it is cotton, wool or bamboo. Furthermore, it should also state that no chemicals were used in the process of making the mattress.

A mattress isn’t the only organic bed item you can purchase for your baby’s crib; you can also obtain other bedding for yourself and baby, such as organic sheets, that is safe and free of processing chemicals.

There are many benefits of buying an organic mattress, such as the one shown here, including a chemical-free sleeping environment.

There are many benefits of buying an organic mattress. Firstly, organic mattresses are eco-friendly and are made with products that come from organic farms that have very little impact on the environment. Organic mattresses are made with no chemicals unlike the other conventional mattresses, which are made with solvents, formaldehydes and other harmful chemicals. For this reason, organic mattresses are becoming increasingly popular not only as a mattress for adults, but as a healthy mattress choice for children.

People who have slept on organic mattresses claim that they are able to enjoy a good night’s rest in a healthy environment. Typically, organic mattresses are made in such a way that they are firm and relive pressure so that the persons sleeping on them are able to enjoy restorative rest, without tossing and turning in the bed. They conform to the persons body so that their weight is evenly distributed improving their blood circulation as well as the free flow of blood in their system. In addition, organic mattresses have benefited people who have had problems falling asleep while lying on other mattresses due to the smell of chemicals coming from them.

One of the biggest benefits of buying an organic mattress is that they are more resistant to allergens and dust mites than other types of mattresses. For example, organic wool mattresses contain wool that has not been stripped of its natural wax called lanolin. Lanolin helps to repel dust mites, making organic wool mattresses much more resistant to these small bed nuisances than other traditional mattress types.

Unlike synthetic mattresses, organic mattresses are very durable with a high lifespan of about 10 to 20 years depending on the manufacturer. They are therefore an excellent investment both for your money and your health. Organic mattresses can also be used in baby cribs since they are firm and pose less health dangers to the children. Research has been done that shows that babies spend about two-thirds of their first year asleep and play inside their cribs as they get older. Organic mattresses for baby cribs therefore will keep them from any allergic reactions while ensuring that they have quality sleep.

Buying organic bed sheets are a healthier choice and an environmentally-friendly alternative to other types of cotton bedding.

The use of organic cotton in common commodities such as clothing and bedding is becoming increasingly popular. Organic cotton is particularly suitable for people who have allergies and chemical sensitivities; however its chemical-free nature can be of benefit to everyone. Not only is organic cotton grown without the use of pesticides or chemicals, but it is also processed without the use of chemicals and either left natural, dyed with low-impact environmental dyes or dyed with natural colorants such as clay.

Since most of us spend at least a third of our lives sleeping in bed, the materials which we keep close to our skin while we rest is of particular importance. For this reason, the use of organic cotton bed sheets is rapidly becoming a popular choice over other conventional types of bedding. Organic bed sheets are not subject to bleaching, chemicals and dyes that may cause skin irritations and other adverse health effects. Also, the organic cotton used for bedding is not stripped of its natural wax, making it a light weight, smooth and slightly water-repellent material. For these reasons, organic cotton bed sheets are considered a superior bedding product by many natural health practitioners.

It is also important to note that organic cotton farming is an earth-friendly and sustainable agriculture that leaves very little impact on the environment. Conventional methods of cotton farming account for one quarter of the world’s pesticides use and is highly detrimental to soil and water quality.

Using organic cotton products, such as organic cotton bedding, assists in sustaining organic cotton farming and can greatly benefit the health of your family. Help reduce the harm to your planet and lower your contact with potentially harmful chemicals and pesticides by buying organic cotton products whenever possible.
