Affordable Organic Crib Mattress

Sometimes, purchasing a bit more of an expensive organic crib mattress is just not an option. The top of the line manufacturers make outstanding products but they can be a bit out of reach price-wise. First, do consider purchasing high quality and never overlook the benefits of going with organic. You will spend a bit more for organic but you will keep your child from suffering from some of the illnesses that are often caused by the seeping of chemicals into a child's skin from the standard crib mattress. Second, remember that while you are spending a bit more, the quality design of these organic mattresses will allow you to use them for all of your children, year after year. At the end of the day, though, you may still want a bargain. For that, consider organic wool and organic rubber mattresses.

Organic wool mattresses are outstanding. You will want to consider purchasing these because of their added benefit of being fire retardant. These often are made with wool batting that is wrapped around the core, to provide a comfortable yet completely protective barrier for the child. In addition, wool mattresses may have an organic cotton wrap on them to provide even more comfort to your child.

Another option is the organic rubber mattresses that are on the market. Rubber is a good option for many reasons, including its affordability (which we will talk about in just a minute.) In particular, natural rubber, or latex, is ideal because of its ability to be ultra supportive to the child's body without being too firm. It is a good option for those who want to use the crib mattress in a toddler bed.

Rubber, or latex, and wool can be troublesome for some children with an allergy to these products. If your child has this type of allergic reaction to these items, be sure to keep them out of your home. Still, most children will do fine with these products since they are all natural and they contain none of the harsh chemicals, pesticides, or herbicides that so many other products do. Your child does not need those to seep into their skin.

Saving Money

So, how can you get the best affordable organic crib mattress without breaking the bank? If possible, choose wool or rubber mattresses. Some of the least expensive products are those available through PureRest Organics. These budget organic crib mattresses contain a rubber center made in either India or Europe. They do have a small amount of the chemical toluene in them, but the company does not hide this fact (that is important!) If you purchase these, you will find that the chemicals are minimal and in fact are only contained in the very core of the mattress. The core is then wrapped completely in the organic wool or cotton batting and topped with an all-organic cotton layer for added protection. Therefore, the small amount of chemical does keep the company from charging full price, but the material is only found within the very center and therefore is virtually harmless to the child.

When choosing any type of crib mattress, be sure it is the safest one possible (do invest in only all organic products whenever it is possible to do so.) If you do need to watch your budget, choose a company that is upfront about what is contained in the mattresses and be sure that any material that could touch your child is all organic. By doing this it will help you get budget friendly, while still finding an affordable organic crib mattress that you can trust.
