We've all heard of, and (hopefully) are trying to switch our grocery and eating habits to include more organic fruits and vegetables because we know organic is better. None of us wants chemicals and hormones in our food, and we don't want to give foods with these chemicals to our children.  I know it's hard to buy exclusively "certified organic" but we do what we can right? 

But, have you ever considered the mattress your baby or child sleeps on?  I hadn't either.  I knew about traditionally grown cotton and how many chemicals farmers use to produce a crop and how devastating that can be to our soil and our planet.  Therefore, I try to buy organic cotton clothes when possible. 

But I never considered the mattress my child sleeps on and breathes on 10 to 12 hours a day...every day. Wow. Did you know that a typical crib mattress is made with many chemicals that have been linked to childhood health problems? Fire retardants, plasticizers, and other chemicals are in the foam and vinyl cover of a crib mattress. Parents and physicians are recommending organic crib mattresses as a way to avoid unnecessary exposure to these chemicals.

The good news is that Naturepedic makes nothing but certified organic, non-toxic mattresses to fit any size crib, bassinet, glider, etc.  And, while you'd expect this kind of mattress to cost a small fortune, it's actually not that much more than a really good Sealy mattresses.

I'm thinking our children's health, and our peace of mind, is worth a few more dollars.  Follow link to check out what makes these mattresses so much better.
