Mattresses

Children's mattresses with natural comfort layers, without polyurethane foam or added chemical flame retardants.

We assess the core, padding, cover and flame barrier rather than stopping at an organic-cotton label.  Latex, wool and cotton are favored, with relevant emissions testing highlighted where available.  The mattress must also suit the child's bed and stage; a youth mattress is not an infant crib mattress.
