The importance of a chemical-free crib mattress

No single other purchase for an infant will make as great an impact in the well-being of a baby than his or her crib mattress. Typically used until a newborn infant reaches toddlerhood, crib mattresses are heavily utilized as the child sleeps for 10 to 14 hours per day. While sleeping, a newborn’s still developing and fragile respiratory system is usually separated only by a crib sheet or mattress pad from the surface of the mattress, where traditional mattresses can leech out residual chemicals from the manufacturing process. These chemicals include phthalates, recently banned from plastic baby bottles, teethers, and toys, and a class of compounds called PBDEs, commonly used as fire retardants, but which have been banned in 11 states due to their deleterious health effects in animal studies.

Cypriana is proud to offer parents a safe mattress alternative – Ecobaby mattresses. Our Ecobaby mattresses are comprised of organic and chemical-free cotton, wool, and rubber core and exceed California flame retardant guidelines. Cypriana carries a 6-inch thick Ecobaby Innerspring mattress and a 5-inch thick Ecobaby natural rubber core mattress, each layered with organic cotton and organically-processed wool batting. These superior, natural materials are better able to ventilate heat and provide optimal comfort compared to synthetic materials, while providing a safe, toxin-free sleeping environment for your baby.

In addition, Cypriana offers mattress pads, crib bumpers, covers, sheets, towels, blankets and more. Go green for baby’s sake!
