Your Baby’s Sensitive Skin Needs to be Protected and Toxin-Free Organic Baby Bedding Does Just That…And So Much More!

Reassuring Yourself with Organic Bedding for Naturally Healthier Babies and Restful Nights for All the Family

There’s nothing like the soft feel of a baby’s skin. Just one touch and you know that your newborn’s skin is special and must be treated as such. But how do you protect your infant’s skin from the harmful effects of insecticides and pesticides used to grow cotton, or the 8,000 other chemicals used to turn raw materials into baby bedding? There’s also damaging dyes and other skin irritants, such as fire retardants, to consider, for these can reek havoc on your child’s delicate skin and may also be absorbed into their fragile systems, creating health concerns for life. Effectively combating this, organic baby bedding is the straightforward and the really only effective answer.

Going Organic - the Natural Choice for New Families

For young couple Mike and Susan, organic bedding for their infant seemed a natural choice after the couple bought an organic baby bed. Concerned for son Tyler’s immediate and long-term health, first-time mother Susan had done a great deal of research on organic products and recently explained all natural eco-friendly organic bedding to little sister Susan (also a mom-to-be) like this:
“Organic bedding is made from goods grown or raised without the use of synthetic chemicals or metals and the bedding does not contain any engineered particles, which means it does not contain the harmful additives found in traditional bedding and because of such, organic bedding is even biodegradable.
“We chose an all-natural organic mattress for Tyler,” she went on to say, “and wonderful organic sheets, cutting down his chances of suffering from allergies, respiratory problems, skin irritations and more.”
Susan is right.

The Advantages of Organic Bedding or Natural Baby Bedding

As big sister explained, there are many advantages to using natural bedding for your baby or child. It is bedding that uses materials grown organically without unnatural chemicals. This is a particularly useful option for baby’s sensitive skin and important to anyone who may be sensitive to chemicals.

Organic mattresses are made from organic cotton and latex foam, both of which are natural, safe, and are hypoallergenic. Additionally, natural mattresses are toxin-free, allergen-free and irritant-free, making them the perfect choice for newborns. Another benefit that Susan stressed:

Natural Moisture Absorption and Body Temperature Regulatory Qualities
Organic materials absorb moisture away from the body in a more efficient way than polyester products. Also, natural bedding such as natural comforter covers and natural baby blankets made of wool helps to regulate body temperature, while natural latex foam and wool do not contain dust mites.
Talk about a win-win!

Environmentally Friendly Home and Abroad
Sarah listened intently as Susan went on, learning that aside from the numerous health benefits of organic bed sheets, there are other noteworthy environmental advantages to consider.
When Sarah asked more about this, Susan said: “When you purchase organic bedding, be it natural cotton linens, natural mattresses, or organic bedding sheets, you are supporting the organic farming industry, encouraging agricultural methods that do not harm the environment. You also help to reduce the amount of potentially harmful chemical compounds in the air, both in baby's bedroom and your home, not to mention the whole environment of our world. And, finally, you contribute to a recycling strategy, as organic materials decompose naturally back into the soil, and not leaving behind harmful toxins.”

Sarah was surprised to learn that Susan and Mike were already using (and absolutely loving) organic bedding in their own room. While Susan called this a “test run” before they purchased an organic mattress and organic sheets for baby Tyler, Sarah knew the truth of what they were saying. Her highly-aware, socially conscious sister had made a decision to - “go green,” as she says, and had replaced her own mattress and sheets with environmentally-friendly organic bedding, positively impacting her health and Mike’s health, all the while contributing to the environment, while simultaneously sleeping better.
Is that why Susan had looked so good the past two months? Here it was near the end of her pregnancy and she had been grumbling before about how much trouble she had sleeping; but lately, and according to her it was since she purchased the organic mattress, organic sheets and organic blankets, she looked much more rested and there was no denying that her mood was better.

Flourishing Ecological Markets Benefits the Environment and Home Budgets

Because more and more parents were quickly becoming aware of the benefits of organic mattresses and organic bedding, the market quickly expanded, with a large variety of natural bedding available and within this, truly something for every budget.
"Think about it like this," Susan said. "With nearly one-third of our adult lives spent in bed, and almost three-fourths of a baby’s spent in their bed, this is one of the most important decisions we can make. Choosing natural mattresses, natural pillows, natural blankets and natural sheets just makes good sense."
Susan went on to tell Sarah that she and Mike now slept on an organic mattresses made of 100% cotton, but that there were other choices, including mattresses made of organic cotton and wool batting with a cotton fabric cover.
And since wool is a natural fire retardant, this type of bedding meets the fire codes required in the United States.
According to Susan, another kind of organic bedding includes a natural latex mattress. This mattress contains foam that is formed from the latex sap of the rubber tree. As she explained, natural rubber does not burn easily and therefore, no (highly toxic) fire retardants need to be added.
Finally, other kinds of organic mattresses consist of a combination of organic cotton, wool and latex.
