Newton Wovenaire Crib Mattress: Breathable and Washable. Beyond Organic- The Safest, Cleanest & Most Comfortable Sleep for Your Baby, Cloud White

Product Information

Between naps and nighttime, your little one spends a lot of time in their crib. That’s exactly as it should be, but it means that they have more exposure to the off-gassing from their mattress. As far as the mattress filler goes, stay away from polyurethane foam. Instead, we think the best option is a special material called Wovenaire®. Mattress in this range will be good for your baby. It might not hold up to everyday use if it's any thinner. When Should I Buy A Crib Mattress? Additionally, you’ll want to keep your crib out of direct sunlight. The rays from the sun can damage the integrity and cause the mattress to break down sooner. The Best Mattress For Your Precious Baby Keep in mind, the cover on this crib mattress isn’t removable. This can potentially be problematic, as it can make some noise with movement throughout the night. With that said, the cleanliness it provides the mattress and your baby makes it worth the risk.

SleepOvation’s Baby Crib Mattress is one of few FDA-approved baby crib mattresses on the market. Made in the USA, this foam mattress is designed for infants and toddlers and specially shaped to promote spinal alignment and reduce excessive pressure on the head and spine for a more pleasant sleep experience. In addition to supporting proper alignment from birth, the mattress's patented foam construction features air channels that allow for optimal breathability to keep your baby comfortable temperature-wise. When creating the Newton Baby Crib Mattress, we opted out of toxic fire-retardant chemicals. Instead, we use a material called viscose: a natural, chemical-free approach for exceeding rigorous federal flammability standards. This encasement is removable, fully breathable and machine washable. Some crib mattresses release volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and other chemicals into the air through a process called off-gassing. We also particularly like how durable this foam mattress is. The exterior is water-resistant on the infant side and waterproof on the toddler side, which helps prevent any unwanted damage from spills, messes, or accidents. If messes occur, the included removable zippered cover can be tossed in the washing machine for an easy clean. For that reason, a new mattress is your best choice. You can rest assured that it will be clean and adhere to the safety guidelines developed by the Consumer Product Safety Commission.

That means there are even more chemicals swirling around in the air that your baby breathes while they sleep. 3) Your Baby Spends A Lot Of Time Sleeping Choosing a breathable crib mattress can help keep your baby cooler and more comfortable throughout the night, and Colgate’s EcoClassica III Crib Mattress is a great option. Made with safely firm, high-quality breathable foam and an organic cotton cover, this mattress ensures your baby has the proper support for a quality night’s sleep. You’ll have two firmness options in a single mattress, one extra-firm side that supports infants and one plusher side suitable for toddlers. We also like the square corners on this crib mattress, which help it fit standard cribs and ensure it stays in place without any wiggle room or empty space for potential hazards.

First of all, even though a product is marketed as “organic,” that doesn’t necessarily mean ALL of its materials are organic. For example, often organic fibers are mixed with chemicals during production. And flame retardants are sometimes added as well, which contributes to the toxicity. Sometimes, you’ll find a used mattress that’s in great shape. In that case, take some measurements. If the mattress doesn’t fit in your crib, it’s unsafe. Remember, you need an exact fit, not one that’s close. Never try to fill in the gaps with foam or rolled-up blankets.

To make your baby’s entire environment as non-toxic as possible, don’t forget about other nursery items, such as the crib, crib sheets, and the like. Infants, toddlers, and kids in general are prone to messes—which is why a crib mattress that’s machine washable is a big perk. We love the Halo Breathable Crib Mattress for this reason, as it’s washable to the mattress’s very core. While the cover (which is sold separately) can be tossed in the washing machine to remove stains, spit-up messes, and dirt without hassle, the mattress can also be rinsed off when accidents happen. In addition to being easy on the wallet, used items can reduce the amount of chemicals that you bring into your home since they’ve already off-gassed some.
