\"mattress<\/a><\/p>\n

One of the top motivators (in my experience) for women who want to go green and live a little more naturally is the fact that they have become mothers. Many of us come to view the world with a completely different lens when we become responsible for the health and well being of children. Suddenly the products we have always used become suspect and the way we have always done things has become not quite safe enough. It is one thing to use a bottle of lotion with a thousand ingredients on your own body but on your baby??? Heck no!<\/p>\n

By now many of us know or at least have some clue that conventional mattresses are full of toxic stuff that we really shouldn’t be exposing ourselves to for 8+ hours each night. It just goes to follow that more moms are looking for safer and more natural mattress solutions for their babies and toddlers that won’t involve breathing in a chemical soup each night. We want to get our wee babes off to the best and most healthy start possible.<\/p>\n

Just as there are for adults, there many options out here but the one I am highlighting today is a latex crib mattress from Naturalmat. Latex is the option I typically go for in my home. If you are not familiar with it,\u00a0natural rubber (a completely renewable resource) is harvested by tapping the milk (sap) of Hevea brasiliensis. The sap is whipped up and turned into\u00a0latex\u00a0foam and is a sustainable resource because sap can be collected from the trees up to 180 days per year and the tree heals within an hour. Natural\u00a0latex\u00a0is anti-microbial, anti-bacterial, dust-mite proof, and very comfortable to sleep on. Usually you will also find organic wool wrapped around the latex core. Wool serves as a fire retardant and regulates moisture.<\/p>\n

This particular mattress is the company’s most allergy safe mattress offering medium support. It has a quilted cover and\u00a0mattress protector included! It\u00a0is suitable for newborns and great for older babies offering medium support allowing\u00a0excellent breathability with great hypoallergenic benefits.<\/p>\n
