NOTE: A crib mattress generally is composed of a foam core with vinyl covering. Studies have shown that mice on this mattress have a reduction of 26% of their airflow. A toxic, chemical laden mattress can cause irritation to nose, throat, eyes and can cause asthma like reactions or difficulty with beathing--This could be a major factor in SIDS. Many studies have confirmed the link between SIDS and chemicals but the crib industry is very large and keeps promoting cheap synthetic mattresses.

Why do I need an organic crib mattress?   Young children are extremely vulnerable to toxic exposures. From the largest retailer of crib mattresses website: “The Crib Mattress's top inside layer is Fireblocker, providing gentle sleeping and safety.” We disagree on safety. We know this system contains 10% Boric Acid and 2.4% Antimony. European researchers measured and proved Antimony leaches through vinyl on crib mattresses, and linked this to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). High levels of Antimony were found in the livers of dissected dead human infants. Europe has been moving away from using flame retardants and requires them be proven safe before being used. Not in our ORGANIC MATTRESSES Why we do not use silica (in Flamebreaker) or vanillin (in Talalay) A new law is being enacted nationwide by the CPSC and went into effect in California January 1, which requires all mattresses to resist ignition from open flames. The primary chemical used, as a flame retardant, is a poisonous pesticide called Boric Acid, yes exactly the same chemical shown at left (H3BO3). Our recent science gives us many more warnings on human exposure. The EPA and CDC warn of Reproductive, Developmental, and Neurological Damage. It has many known health risks including, genital damage, brain damage, anemia, infertility, birth defects, and death, and at the very least may dry and irritate your skin and lungs. This Poisonous chemical is going in our beds, not in some plastic part on your computer. Our Beds, where we sleep, are intimate, and lay our newborn babies with us. These chemicals are concentrated in the surface of our mattresses and absorb through our skin and breathing. Doctors agree long close exposure on a mattress eight hours every day increases risks. This issue is urgent because these chemicals are already being added to many new mattresses nationwide in anticipation of this new law. The law becomes effective January 1st in California and probably within the next year for the entire United States.While Boric Acid is an ancient method to fireproof cloth, it is also a known poisonous pesticide/insecticide. When Roaches, Ants, and other insects walk through its dust it kills them, and their entire colony within three weeks. It may be safe use to fireproof something like booth drapes at a convention. But this time they are putting a large amount of it in the surface of our mattresses! Boric Acid is a poisonous pesticide: Effectively kills roaches, silverfish, ants, fleas, palmetto bugs and water bugs. Most people have the common sense not to put a pound or more in the surface of their mattress. They have a saying in the pesticide industry, “There are no safe pesticides, only safe use.” Respected Doctors agree: Boric Acid in the surface of mattresses is not safe use. Most people have trouble believing industry and government are putting this poisonous chemical in our mattresses to make them fireproof, and think, they must use a different chemical or something else. No, it is exactly the same chemical as the pesticide (H3BO3). Check the mattress Law Tag; if it says ‘Treated Cotton’ it’s likely Boron/Boric Acid. How is this happening? It appears industry and government have taken the attitude, ‘Well, we have been making cloth fireproof for years with Boric Acid and don’t know of killing anyone yet. They consider it a good chemical because it can protect us from fire. Then they make the stretch that it is OK to concentrate a large amount of this chemical in the surface of our mattresses. Does the Consumer Products Safety Commission (CPSC) not know what another branch of our government is doing? The Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) a division of the Center for Disease Control (CDC) cites Boron/Boric Acid as one of 275 substances “which pose the most significant potential threat to human health” Perhaps the CPSC and industry are unaware there are a lot more new scientific discoveries in the last 30-years that prove and warn of the human exposure risks from Boric Acid. One mattress with this chemical claims: “Contains no harmful chemicals.” Questions to ask to find out if all natural: 1. Are there any bonding or scrim in any of the battings? 2. Are there any Vanillin or scents added? All Talalay has this. 3. Are there any silica agents added? 4. Is the rubber free of all benzene, toluene, and pthalates? Ask for test results 5. Are the materials protected from growing to final product? Includes packaging 6. Is the wool batting processed at an organic facility to prevent contamination? Also we have found that ozonation actually helps speed the breakdown of rubber.   This mattress cutaway shows how Boric Acid is used in mattresses. The layer at the surface is fluffy cotton batting treated with Boric Acid. The layer next to the springs is compressed cotton batting treated with Boric Acid. The law label tells us the mattress contains: 47% Urethane Foam, 39% Treated Cotton, 13% Polyester Fiber. By weighing the cotton batting in the mattress and assuming 10% Boric Acid by weight,Boric Acid treated mattresses would contain the following amount of Boric Acid in each mattress:   We NOW keep many of our child and adult mattresses in stock for immediate shipping!!!
