Non-Toxic Mattresses
ISSUE:
Non-toxic mattresses, also called “organic bedding,” are made of cotton, wool, latex, hemp, or down, or a combination of the above. Traditional mattresses usually contain toxic adhesives, fire retardants, and stain-resistant chemicals with ingredients like Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), formaldehyde, polyester, synthetics and foams which have been linked by the US EPA to serious health related problems. Natural mattresses do not contain these toxic compounds, making it safer for your health. We’re exposed to these toxins every night through breathing and skin absorption. These emitting fumes are especially harmful to infants in crib bedding.
