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.

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.

Allergies and Organic Mattresses

Posted by kristing in mattresses - (0 Comments)

As a child, I suffered from severe allergies. I would be up in the middle of the night with allergy attacks so bad that I had to sleep sitting up in a recliner just so I could breathe and keep a cool washcloth on my eyes to alleviate the pain and itching that accompanied these attacks.

Often, my mother would sit up with me while I had these terrible bouts of allergies. Looking back on it now, I see how horrible it must have been for her to watch her child in such pain and suffering and not be able to do a thing about it. I’m sure it’s the same for all parents when their kids are sick or suffering from allergies in a similar way.

That’s why nowadays they’re beginning to make organic crib mattresses and other organic mattresses for kids. The materials in these mattresses are mostly hypoallergenic and have dust mite repelling qualities. Less dust mites means less allergy symptoms! They’re chemical free and contain no synthetic polyurethane, which is a material well-known for being an allergy trigger.

So if you’re up in the night with a child suffering with severe allergies, consider switching to an organic twin mattress to help alleviate some of the symptoms.

A Naturepedic Mattress is a Good Investment

Posted by Ajax Union in mattresses - (0 Comments)

naturepedicThe mattress you sleep on makes a big difference. I’ve laid on mattresses where I can feel each individual spring. These mattresses are beyond firm or soft; they’re simply bad. A bad mattress can lead to neck and back problems down the line. Wake up the next morning and see how it feels to roll your neck from side to side: not good. That’s why it’s important to take some time and invest in a mattress you, or your children,can feel comfortable on.

Even for your baby, organic crib mattresses are important. While he or she will only spent a few years sleeping on it, you want those formative nights to be comfortable and healthy. After these mattresses, the next mattress you buy your child should last for about ten years, the average mattress lifespan. A Naturepedic mattress is a good investment here.

Because you spend about a third of your life on your mattress, even more as a child or a baby, when you need to sleep sixteen hours a day; then it’s two-thirds. So don’t skimp. Feel good about being good to your child and invest in the right mattress the first time. He’ll thank you when he’s older.
