A Hypoallergenic Good Night

Posted by tristanl in mattresses - (0 Comments)

There are many occasions that call for a new mattress. If you’re having terrible sleep or have a back or neck injury or just think the dust mites living in your’s are making you sick, it could be time to switch things up. A hypoallergenic mattress can be just the thing for people that suffer from asthma or COPD. Allergies and asthma are notoriously fickle, that’s why we don’t have any known cures for either, only treatments. But for some people simply not being in close proximity to the trigger for their problems is enough to resolve the situation.

The reason a hypoallergenic mattress is easier on the lungs of asthmatics and people with sensitive allergies, is because most mattresses contain substantial or at least trace ammounts of wool and latex. While these are fine materials from which to build matresses, they are both known and common allergens. Naturepedic mattresses are the leading brand of hypoallergenic sleep goods, and are completely guaranteed not to contain either of these materials.

Naturepedic mattresses are not just for the wheezing masses. Their high tensile steel, coil spring construction combined with organic cotton covers and pesticides make for a comfortable sleep whatever model you choose.

Kids Umbrellas

Posted by TimD in backpacks | kids school uniforms | mattresses - (0 Comments)

This has been a particularly rainy spring on the east coast of  the country. If you have not yet, it looks like now is the perfect time to get your son or daughter a new umbrella for them to take to day camp. It is the best way to assure that they stay dry and don’t catch any nasty summer colds on their way to a field trip of some kind.

People do not worry so much about their kids catching colds in the summer, but parents should continue to stay vigilant. Kids will always be around a lot of germs, the still unknown nature of regular interaction has them touching things that most people would not. What is more, those brief periods outdoors in the rain at summer camp are usually shuffling single file from an air conditioned bus ride to another air conditioned facility. In that time, it can be very easy for those germs, already spinning around in the air, to take root.

People forget to get their kids umbrellas for these programs, but they are an important investment. Luckily, S&D Kids has some great youthful designs with likes of Spiderman and iCarly on them to make your kids feel cool while keeping dry.

Firm Ogranic Crib Mattresses

Posted by KristenM in mattresses - (0 Comments)

organic crib mattressIf you thought purchasing a mattress for yourself was an involved ordeal, try purchasing an organic crib mattress for your newborn. Every purchase for a baby is a pretty big deal actually. You have to be very careful about what you purchase to ensure your child’s safety. Now when you buy a mattress for yourself, you might prefer a softer mattress over a firm one and you might think the same should be true for your baby. They enjoy soft, plush things right?

Actually choosing a soft Naturepedic mattress is actually not a good choice at all! While clothing and toys should be super soft and plush, a mattress for a baby should be very firm. Think about it. Babies do not have the strength to roll over. They should always be placed on their backs when they sleep. If they do in fact roll over onto their stomachs, they could become stuck in that position. If the  mattress if very soft, they could actually suffocate. But at least with a firm mattress, their faces cannot sink into it.

Never skimp when it comes to your newborn and always choose quality brand name mattresses that are firm. It may seem uncomfortable but it will keep them safe.

Money Well Spent on Mattresses

Posted by KristenM in mattresses - (0 Comments)

organic twin mattressIt’s pretty easy in this day and age to cut corners and skimp when buying certain products. There’s a lot of hype sometimes about buying the most expensive items. You don’t need the $300 pair of jeans; a $30 pair will do just fine. The generic brand is usually just as good as the name brand. But one item you should never ever skimp on is the mattress –this goes for babies, children, and adults. We spend nearly 1/3 of our lives sleeping! So how can you not invest in quality mattresses for your family?

This is the one product everyone should spend the top of their budget on. If you don’t want to spend more than $700 on a mattress, spend that $700. You can literally feel the difference. It’s no wonder so many people today have sleep disorders, restless sleep, and back pain. When you’re lying for 7 hours or more on a shoddy mattress, you’re going to receive a terrible night’s sleep. The best mattresses are the ones that are so comfy that they make it nearly impossible to want to leave the bed.

Everyone should test out different mattresses to find out which is the best. So when it comes time to look for organic twin mattresses or organic crib mattresses, look for the best at S&D Kids Online.

Eco Mattress vs. True Organic Crib Mattresses

Posted by KristenM in mattresses - (0 Comments)

organic crib mattressWe already know that organic crib mattresses are an ideal solution for our babies, providing allergy-free, chemical-free comfort for babies. But sometimes it’s hard to tell what’s really organic and what’s just eco-friendly, because the two are not mutually exclusive. Eco and green can be confusing terms. A mattress saying they use soybean foam, for example, can still contain at least 80% petroleum and are not really made of soybeans at all. But some companies will still label they has eco-friendly.

Even so-called organic crib mattresses saying they are made with bamboo can still contain toxic chemicals. Instead, you need to look for mattresses that are certified with the Global Organic Textile Standard seal. The largest certifier in the US is Oregon Tilth Certified Organic (OTCO). Naturepedic is 100% certified and never uses any type of chemicals in their mattresses. So unless it has a seal, think twice about purchasing it.

Going organic is a great solution and is a smart choice to help keep your baby healthy and happy. It’s not just good for those with allergens, it will ensure no toxic chemicals come in contact with your little bundle of joy. Look for the seal and don’t be fooled by other terms.

Babies and Organic Crib Mattresses

Posted by kristing in mattresses - (0 Comments)

Looking for organic crib mattresses can bring up a lot of questions. If you’re thinking about getting your baby a new crib mattress, you might wonder why organic is better or what kind of assurances can you expect when purchasing this type of mattress.

Naturepedic guarantees that they use all organic cotton on your babies mattress. Organic cotton means that it is unbleached, undyed, and was grown without the use of pesticides, herbicides, and other kinds of chemical fertilizers.

Many children can have adverse reactions to these types of chemicals and dyes. This is why naturepedic doesn’t use any of this in their mattresses. They also guarantee that there is no wool or latex in their products. These are two immense allergens that can cause reactions in children and babies. Without these two elements in their mattresses, your children will be able to sleep better.

If you’re still worried about allergens, you can rest easy knowing that there is a dust mite barrier built into all of their products. This is an extra perk because it means that you don’t need to purchase an extra cover or barrier for the mattress which might make the mattress not fit properly in the crib.
