Organic agriculture is a production management system that promotes strict respect for the links and natural balances between the soil, plants and animals. Unlike traditional agriculture, which relies heavily on chemicals and genetic engineering, organic farming relies on agronomic, biological, and mechanical methods such as green fertilizers, biological pest control, and special cultivation techniques to maintain soil productivity.

Five reasons to buy organic food and products

Health
Pesticides and herbicides used to eliminate pests and weeds can also harm humans and have been linked to cancer, birth defects, nerve damage and genetic manipulations. Farmers and children are especially at risk, particularly in developing countries where pesticide use is often poorly regulated. Using green pesticides instead of chemical ones can help prevent many diseases and thus improve our lives.

Productivity
By neglecting the soil structure and relying on monoculture, conventional agriculture thrashes the land and diminishes its productivity over time due to erosion and the lack of natural nutrients. Plants that grow on improperly balanced soil are more susceptible to pests and require an increased use of pesticides. But natural selection has made insects genetically resistant to pesticides and crop losses are increasing. By relying on techniques such as crop rotation and the use of biological pest control methods and natural green manure, organic farming helps maintain the soil productivity without destroying the environment.

Food quality
Organically grown plants are nourished naturally, which leads to a better structural and metabolic integrity of their cellular structure than their conventional counterparts. This means that unlike conventional food, organic foods can be stored for a long period of time without molding and rotting. The quality of fruit and vegetable can also be measured by its sugar content, which is directly related to the quality of nutrition that the plant has enjoyed. In other words, well-nourished plants give tastier fruit and vegetables.

Water
Not only does conventional agriculture wastes a lot of water; it also pollutes ground water and rivers. Organic farming helps reduce water use, and the prohibition of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides reduces the amount of pollutants released in the environment and protects our primary source of drinking water.

Economy
Conventional products may seem cheaper than organic products, but if you add hidden environmental and social costs, it is actually more than double the price of organic products. And while in the short term, massive use of chemicals results in more yields than organic farming, in the long run, the productivity advantage dwindles due to diminished soil fertility. Modern agriculture is also very wasteful in terms of energy consumption (especially petroleum): more energy is used to produce pesticides and fertilizers than to cultivate and harvest the crops themselves. While some farmers report yield reduction when switching from conventional to more environment-friendly farming, the decrease in yields is offset by a 50% lower expenditure on fertilizer and energy. By reducing input costs, organic agriculture can also help struggling family farms, which have decreased in numbers in the past decade.

Of all the Naturepedic organic baby mattresses, the Naturepedic Quilted Organic Cotton Deluxe Crib Mattress is the most luxurious organic crib mattress available. The Naturepedic Quilted Organic Cotton Deluxe Crib Mattress has the advantages of all the other organic crib mattresses from Naturepedic (classic 150 and classic 252): this organic crib mattress is firm, naturally fire-safe, and creates a harmful chemical-free environment for your child. The Deluxe  cotton organic crib mattress provides children with a more natural, healthy, but also comfortable sleep. While typical  mattresses are made of materials such as vinyl/PVC, polyurethane foam and many other materials so full of chemicals it had made parents question about the release of those chemicals in the surrounding environment over time.  The Naturepedic Quilted Organic Cotton Deluxe Crib Mattress are made of products that are chemical free and allow your baby to sleep in a healthy bed. This is especially important when we know that babies will spend up to 70% of their early life sleeping. Your baby’s health and safety should not be negotiable. The Deluxe organic crib mattress by Naturepedic is made with an organic cotton, which is grown without synthetic pesticides, chemical fertilizers or chemical fertilizers. The luxurious quilted organic cotton surface of the crib mattress comes with a sateen finish. The inside is also filled with organic cotton which provides a good air circulation while maintaining a more even humidity and balanced temperatures. This luxurious cotton organic crib mattress is the favorite of many moms and dads (and babies!) who enjoy more the soft organic cotton cover over the more rigid  food grade polyethylene cover of the Naturepedic classic 150 and 252 organic crib mattresses.

The Naturepedic Quilted Organic Cotton Deluxe Crib Mattress has a heavy-duty 252 coil orthopedic innerspring with a center support and firm flat surface, therefore providing an ideal support. The Deluxe system is in accordance with pediatricians and Consumer Product Safety Commission recommendations about firmness. In addition, heavy-duty border rods add strong side, edge and center support. Overall, the Naturepedic Quilted Organic Cotton Deluxe Crib Mattress is fully designed for a snug fit.

One more advantage of a cotton mattress versus the typical non organic mattress made of polyurethane foam is that cotton, unlike polyurethane foam, does not burst into flames or release deadly fumes when ignited. This provide a natural barrier against fire and fumes. Hence, the Deluxe baby mattress by Naturepedic meets and exceeds all Federal and State flammability standards without the use of potentially harmful.

Overall, the Naturepedic Quilted Organic Cotton Deluxe Crib Mattress is the number one mattress if you are shopping for an organic crib mattress. However, they are more expensive than the classic organic crib mattresses from Naturepedic and a lot more expensive than regular non organic crib mattresses, but will provide a healthy, safe  and comfy evironment for your little one.

What parents have to say

Fantastic for my little one
Suzy Black (London) September 10, 2008
I love this mattress and so does my daughter, who sleeps soundly on it each night. I had bought the waterproof organic mattress from Naturepedic but prefer this one as it supports her body more gently and I would rather place a waterproof pad under her bottom area than have her sleeping on an entirely waterproof mattress. This is the kind of mattress I’d sleep on… if we could afford a king size organic mattress! Naturepedic has great customer service and were really helpful in making sure we had the right mattress for our needs. Highly recommended.

Love this mattress!
California Mom (San Francisco, CA) June 16, 2009
After plenty of research on which organic mattress to choose we went with the firm quilted organic cotton. Our son who is now 15 months old loves it!! I have no complaints. I believe paying the extra money for the quilted cover is worth every penny. I had read too many negative reviews about the plastic covering on the other organic mattresses being too noisy and uncomfortable. In the end we’re glad we went with this one.

Happy shopping at Organic Crib Mattress!

Jessica from California   Date: 06/04/2009

We are very happy with this mattress. It is nice and firm, free from that chemical smell that you get with so many others and seems to be made very well. I tested the waterproofing and it passed with flying colors. This should last through a couple of babies easily.

Eileen from Brookfield, CT   Date: 05/28/2009
We ordered this mattress after recommendations from friends and reading about it in baby bargains. The mattress is nice and firm and our son sleeps well on it. It fits our crib perfectly and it arrived within a week of ordering it. We also like the very reasonable price tag.

Judy   Date: 03/29/2009
Mattress is nice and firm and there is no smell to it at all. It fits perfectly in QCollection Cielo Crib. Comes with waterproof, dust mite proof cover already on it but will by mattress pad as well.

Amber and Damian from New York   Date: 02/04/2009
I have just received the mattress and it fits my crib nice and snug. There are no odors and it is firm to the touch. So far my baby has slept in her bassinet and we will have to try out the mattress later, it seems like an expensive but good buy.

Ann from Austin   Date: 12/18/2008
After doing research. We found that this is the best mattress for the price.

Mike from Fresno, Ca   Date: 12/21/2008
My wife and I were looking for an eco-friendly mattress that would make us feel better about the carbon-footprint our little one would leave behind, and also wanted a mattress that was free of all the chemicals and materials that have been linked with possible health disorders. We came across babyearth.com and found the Naturepedic No-Compromise Organic Crib Mattress – Classic 252 on their website. This was one of several organic mattresses the website offered and we debated over which one would be the best choice for our little one. In the end, we decided on this model. The mattress arrived in perfect shape via shipping. Unpacking was easy, and the mattress seems quite comfortable. Immediately, we could tell the mattress lacked that fresh off the assembly line smell which we accepted as a good sign of the mattress being free of things like vinyl and other chemically enhanced materials. We did have a little trouble getting the sheets to fit the mattress, but eventually, the fitted sheet slipped on. I’m not sure if that’s because the sheets were too small or the mattress was too thick. Our little one sleeps very well on the mattress and we feel better knowing that although we spent quite a lot on this mattress, our son’s health is better for it. I would highly recommend this mattress to others. Mike in Fresno, Ca

Tammy   Date: 10/17/2008
Love the mattress. Excellent fit and extremely firm. Our son sleeps really well on it and I love that it’s organic and safe. We’re using all organic bedding so an organic mattress just seemed the most sensible given how much time babies are in their crib. The quality/price was good compared to other natural options, although a lot more pricy than the non-organic cheaper models But nothing is too much to keep our son healthy, so it is well worth it!

Natalie Z from New York Date: 12/16/2008
Thanks to the manufacturer and carriers for having this safe product available for my newborn (Not due for another six months)! I have peace of mind knowing my baby will not be bombarded with toxins right out of the womb in his or her own bed. It was worth the extra cost.

Bonnie Date: 08/28/2008
While we haven’t used it for our baby, it is in the crib and ready to go. I was pleasantly surprised at the fit. It is very snug against the crib leaving no room for arms or legs to get in between the mattress and crib– which has triggered some recalls from Simmons mattresses. I feel good knowing that my baby will be safe from injury as well as toxic chemicals.

Matt & Nat Date: 07/31/2008
We are very happy with out purchase. Our little boy has had no issues transitioning to it and he sleeps very soundly. We’re also glad to know that it is totally natural and safe for him to be nuzzling up to!

Angie CA Date: 07/27/2008
So far we’re really pleased with this mattress. Our baby sleeps very well on it, and she went from a bassinet next to us to the crib in her own room with no problems. It seems very well made, built-to-last, comfortable yet supportive, and we have the peace of mind that comes from knowing it’s totally organic. Don’t forget to get an organic mattress cover as well – we almost nullified the effect by getting a cheap cover which was 100% vinyl. An expensive purchase all round, but hopefully worth it for the peace of mind and quality.

When it comes to baby health, parents need to be extra careful. Nowadays, we tend to overuse chemicals in everyday products. Pesticides, herbicides, conservative agents, etc. However, babies, unlike adults, are very sensitive to their environment. Many parents therefore decide to go for organic products. Organic products are products that were grown without all the chemicals used and are therefore more safe and healthy for your children.

When it comes to sleep furniture, more and more parents choose an organic crib mattress. Organic crib mattresses are just as good as traditional baby mattresses but have the advantage of being free of chemicals, therefore being healthier and safer for your newborn baby. Here are three good reasons to choose an organic crib mattress for your newborn baby.

First, its all about safety and health. Babies will spend most of their few months sleeping. Therefore, the product they will have the most contact with will be the bed. Therefore, by choosing an organic crib mattress, you will provide a healthy and safe environment for your newborn baby. As a matter of fact, most traditional mattresses contains synthetic products such as polyurethane foam, which is highly flammable and most likely harmful. Also most crib mattresses are made with cotton that used herbicides and pesticides to bugs and other herbs away. It is still unclear, to this date, whether those chemicals will have an impact on our health, especially our babies health, on the long run.

Second, according to many experts, the use of a more natural fabric such as organic cotton will allow a better airflow. Therefore, allowing a better temperature control and helping the baby to breathe. Natural fabrics, such as fabrics, are usually not associated with allergies. Many think that because cotton causes less sweating, it also causes less irritations than other more synthetic fabrics.

Third, by purchasing an organic crib mattress, you will encourage more manufacturers to make more models of natural baby mattresses, and more stores to carry organic crib mattresses, and eventually drop down the prices of organic crib mattresses. Unfortunately, natural baby mattresses are still a luxury for many parents because of their costs. It is important to promote and encourage the use of organic products, as it is not only important for your children at the present moment but also for their future. Organically grown cotton reduces the overall use of pesticides, leading to less pollutants in our waters and fields.

Finally, here are a few tips to purchase an organic crib mattress. First, organic products must be certified as organic in accordance with these governmental regulations, to avoid misuse of the word. When looking for an organic crib mattress, choose a 100% organic, because some manufacturers will mix organic and synthetic material to cut down on the cost of the material, but call the product “organic”. If you have some doubts about a so-called organic product, you can also call any Organic Consumers Association in order to get a list of all certified organic retailers.

Today’s society have introduce synthetic products to our children, and long-term effect of toxins and chemical on their future is still to be studied. This is why by purchasing an organic crib mattress for your children, you are giving them a good headstart on their health and future.

What are baby organic crib mattresses made of?

Usually, an organic crib mattress is composed of either 100$% natural latex or coir fibres (coconut).

Natural latex

The natural latex comes from rubber trees. Unlike synthetic latex, the 100% natural latex organic crib mattress:
* Ensures greater comfort for the baby, adapts better to the baby weight, and has the ability to recover faster to its original form.
* Perfectly regulates the temperature in the baby’s cradle, making it ideal for all seasons.
* Prevents the development of bacteria because of the air flow in fibers is optimal, therefore are much more hypoallergenic than traditional mattresses,
* Is naturally anti-mite.

Coir

The coconut fiber is the choice of many mattress makers because it is very strong and has the great ability to allow air flow through its fibers. Coir is washable and do not keep moisture. In addition, coconut is very abundant plant and extremely and quickly renewable. Therefore a “coconut” organic crib mattress is very green.

What covers an organic crib mattress

The mattress itself has a second coat, which also need to be natural and healthy, to make it soft and welcoming. Here are what most organic crib mattress covers are made of:

Bamboo fibers

Naturally anti-mold, anti-mite, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and bacteriostatic (bacteria regrowth), bamboo is particularly suitable for people who are with allergies. With a unique softness, the bamboo fiber has a capacity to absorb moisture four times more that cotton. Moreover, the bamboo plant is the perfect “green” plant because bamboo plantations do not require any treatment or fertilizer.

Organic cotton

Healthy antibacterial and hypoallergenic, natural cotton does not charge with static electricity and allows a quality sleep. Organic cotton os of the best textile for the sensitive skin of a baby! Because cotton farms are among the most polluting farms in the world, it is advisable to opt for cotton that comes from an organic farming. And if you opt for an organic crib mattress your mattress will (should!) be made of ecological and organic cotton!

Natural wool

A layer of thick natural wool between the core of the mattress and baby’s blanket is all baby needs. Moreover, that ecological wool ensures to keep a perfect body temperature and can dry quickly in case of sweat or leak.

Tencel

Tencel is a cellulose fiber which is 100% natural, biodegradable, breathable and highly absorbent. The cover in Tencel can be treated with anti-microbial and anti-allergic aloe vera.

Give your baby a healthy environment with an organic crib mattress.

Yes. If you are on a thight budget or want to keep your conventional mattress but still providing a somewhat healthier sleeping environment for baby, you can always buy a wool mattress pad. An organic wool mattress pad is not an organic crib mattress, but will do a good job at protecting your baby for possible chemical emanation for the crib mattress. You can also contact the crib manufacturer to find out what materials and chemical were used in making the baby crib mattress.

Coil innerspring is made of layers of pure wool, metal coils, and covered in organic cotton.

ins, and because they will have an overall longer exposure than us, it is important to look into alternatives to our current synthetic products. Considering that babies will spend more of their first year in bed, an organic crib mattress and organic baby bedding are a healthy option for a healthier sleeping environment for the little ones

What is so bad about a synthetic crib mattress?

Synthetic crib mattresses contains polyurethane foam (foamified petroleum), polyester and vinyl/PVC or nylon. Those products are often treated with toxic chemicals. The biggest concerns is that those toxic chemicals emanate from the synthetic products. Of course, this comes at very low doses. However, there are concerns that, on the long run, this could have some repercussion on people’s health, or in this case, baby’s health.
It has been shown that polyurethane foam off-gasses toluene, an industrial solvent which is also a volatile organic chemical (VOC). Similarly, the vinyl/PVC that covers the synthetic crib mattresses also contain chemicals (phthalates, various biocides) that can be released over a long period of time.

The type of repercussion on baby’s health on the long run can be desastruous. Many of the chemicals contained in synthetic crib mattresses have been linked to cancers, childhood disorders and many more health problems.

Chemicals that leach from standard mattresses are now being linked to many childhood disorders, cancer, ADHD, and more. There may also be a link to SIDS. Considering a baby may spend up to 70 per cent of his or her time sleeping and playing on a crib mattress, we think it’s important to consider purchasing an organic crib mattress.

So what exactly is an organic crib mattress?

An organic crib mattress is a crib mattress made of, you probably have guessed, non synthetic material. They are made of natural products, from which will not emanate toxins and chemicals. Moreover, natural materials are breathable, meaning that they allow a better airflow, therefore maintain a more pleasant temperature. Not only they are more comfortable, but they are also naturally flame resistant and hypoallergenic, because of the nature of the main material an organic crib mattress is made of: wool.

By choosing an organic crib mattress, you are creating not only a healthier, but also a safer sleeping environment for you little one.
