![]() Furthermore, the materials and treatments traditionally used in the manufacturing of mattresses have the potential to off-gas or leach dangerous compounds, therefore, in seeking out the safest possible mattress for our newborn, we compiled a list of known toxic materials that we wished to avoid: latex, PVC, synthetic flame retardants, petroleum-based foam and non-organic cotton (since it’s a crop that is generally subjected to high pesticide use). With that in mind, we wanted a mattress composed of materials that would be relatively hypoallergenic yet able to withstand the rigors of frequent washing, if necessary. Most textiles are composed of absorptive materials that latch onto debris, allergens and moisture, consequently serving as ideal breeding grounds for bacteria, molds and a plethora of other lifeforms. This would serve as our irrefutably definitive, highly-scientific testing procedure to be used in evaluating any one mattress’ purported breathability claims…lie with our faces buried in the mattress and evaluate how difficult breathing became. We knew that if adults couldn’t breathe while face down on a mattress, then a newborn would definitely not be able to either. The increased airflow passing through a breathable mattress also assists a newborn with temperature regulation. In consideration of the mysterious rise in Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, we knew that a “breathable” mattress would help to prevent suffocation should the newborn ever end up face down and, additionally, continue to protect an infant who has developed the ability to roll over on it’s own. Fortunately for us, living in an era where a resurgence in well-being focused product development and the conscientious retooling of existing, or imagineering of new, manufacturing processes is being demanded by a more informed population of concerned consumers, there are numerous “healthy” options to choose from in even the most obscure corner of the baby product market. Therefore, it made sense to us that the best option would be the mattress composed of the least toxic, most breathable and hypoallergenic materials possible.
