Organic crib mattress

goodgalpal · September 2013

I am looking for the least toxic crib mattress out there, and one that is supportive/firm. Any recs?

I can't find the website that shows toxicity ratings. I know it exists!! Anyway, we bought a Naturpedic dual sided mattress. We got one without springs, it only weighs 11 pounds or so. Lo sleeps great, so I guess it's comfy!

Many mattresses that call themselves organic, including naturapedic, use flame retardants which are chemical in nature. There are some crib mattresses that do not have chemical flame retardants added, they use wool instead which is naturally flame retardant. In any case, check out this article for more info:

I purchased this mattress (not from this store but the same model):

Because it is not covered in plastic, I use a wool pad under a cotton mattress pad to protect the mattress from accidents. This works quite well.

I guess they could be lying but naturepedic says they don't use chemical flame retardants

We got the dual sided no spring but waterproof one.

Thanks for pointing that out. I am not sure this was the case when I was shopping for mattresses. Good to know.

I purchased a Sueno crib mattress.

This isn't where I got it from, but this is the mattress: https://thenaturalsleepstore.com/products/sueno-innerspring-crib-mattress.html

Secure beginnings breathable crib mattress. I have one for my son and it makes me feel a lot better since he's a tummy sleeper.
