I bought this matress for my daughter's babyshower, and my grandson
(he is 6 month now) just loves it.
Exellent product!
After much research, we decided to go with this mattress instead of other "organic" brands. I am so happy with this purchase. Very high quality and we sleep better at night knowing our baby is breathing in all toxic stuff in standard baby mattresses. We purchased the Baby Mod - ParkLane 3-in-1 Convertible Crib, Amber and White from www.walmart.com and after reading the reviews about mattress not fitting the bed, we were very nervous this mattress wouldn't fit either. Once again, we were pleased again, the mattress fit perfectly. We recommend to anyone.
Our son had severe eczema and still has very serious allergies. He can't handle lots of chemicals, and frankly we wouldn't want to expose him to lots of chemicals anyway, so an organic mattress was important to us. We have been very pleased with this organic cotton mattress. I appreciated that it wasn't latex or wool, as those can be highly allergenic. The mattress is high quality, firm, but not a rock, like many other baby mattresses. I'm glad that it has built in dust mite protection as well, as this is also important for a child with lots of allergies.
It is slightly larger than our previous crib mattress, which makes it a tight squeeze getting it in and out of the crib. That's my only complaint, but I know that makes it very safe as there are absolutely no gaps between the mattress and crib frame. We topped it with a quilted organic cotton mattress pad, which adds a little extra cush, and our son has been enjoying a good night's sleep on this mattress for almost two years now.
We plan to order from naturepedic again when he moves up to a twin sized mattress. Their prices are excellent for organic mattresses and we're very pleased with the quality.
We purchased this mattress based on reviews and the fact that it's organic. It fits perfectly in our crib and meets all of our expectations. I would definitely recommend it.
Do your research before you buy this mattress. In order to make the cover waterproof, it is coated in a food grade plastic. Just because the plastic is food grade, does not mean its safe!
I can't speak to the actual comfort of the child on this mattress just yet (due in October), but I can say that so far I'm impressed. This product arrived in perfect condition and does not have any kind of a chemically, plasticky smell! I didn't want a super firm mattress (because babies deserve a comfy mattress, even if it has to be waterproof) and this one seems firm enough to be safe but has the right amount of give to be comfortable. I really like the fact that it's all organic as well given all the recent concern with exposure of today's children to phthalates and other chemicals in the toys, bedding and clothing they come in contact with. Hope the baby likes it!
i searched and searched for the perfect eco-friendly mattress that we could afford, and ta-da, this is it. my 18mo son and his playmates love to jump on it in his new toddler bed, and so far, it's holding up just fine. it is wonderfully firm and i feel good about him sleeping on it after moving out of our organic cotton and latex futon.
I'm very concerned about all of the chemicals in our home and in baby products in general. I am very happy with this mattress -- no pvc lining and it's organic. Since babies spend so much time in their cribs, I wanted to make sure my daughter wasn't being exposed to the chemicals that are in most mattresses.
This is an item that is worth the price tag for my baby's health. I'm satisfied with it's quality. However, I think it is extremely unfortunate that this is not available at a price that every parent could afford for their child. The one problem I've had with this mattress is that it is extremely heavy and only my husband can get it out of the crib to change the sheet & pad
Most baby mattresses contain a whole host of noxious chemicals, including PBDE, PVC, etc. This mattress contains none of those nasty chemicals and use healthy alternatives. I bought this for my son as well as for my nephew-on-the-way. It's certainly more expensive, but I felt it was worth it for the peace of mind and the health of my child. Plus, I can use it for the next one and share it with my sisters when their baby time comes.
