Over the last 30+ years, baby mattress materials have been replaced with cheap petroleum-based synthetics. Nearly all baby mattresses today contain polyurethane foam, vinyl (PVC), phthalates, chemical fire retardants, and an extensive list of added industrial chemicals. Recent studies have questioned the use of these materials.
There is growing concern among physicians, health professionals, public safety officials, environmental advocacy groups, and consumers regarding the possible effects of these chemicals on our children. Many researchers suspect that toxic chemicals are playing a significant role in the dramatic increase in childhood disorders.
Just as lead paint was once widespread before it was found to be toxic and banned, many components of today’s baby mattresses are also toxic. Eventhough these chemicals are currently legal, they are likely to eventually be banned as well.
Babies and toddlers spend 10-14 hours a day sleeping and playing on a baby mattress. Furthermore, a child’s every breath inhales air no more than six inches away from these chemicals. As such, for the first few years of a child’s life, the mattress is the single most prominent object in the child’s environment.
