It's great to see the whole family involved too! I also agree that there is no middle ground offered for A healthy non-toxic mattress. The primary problem is simple. The cost of the materials used such as organic cotton, organic wool, and latex are is very high when compared to plastics. There is also a common belief in the mattress industry that crib mattresses must be waterproof. I guess they never heard of a protective pad or sheet. Also the reason for waterproofing a mattress is for easy clean up to protect from fungus or bacteria growth. <BR/><BR/>As for your quest of finding a low cost non-toxic crib mattress you can look to Pixel Organics. <BR/>We have developed a low-cost non-toxic sustainable mattress for exactly consumers like you. You can preview this mattress at <A HREF="http://www.pixelorganics.com/REFILL-crib" REL="nofollow">REFILL CRIB MATTRESS</A>. <B>The features of the REFILL mattress are:<BR/>- a removable and washable certified organic cotton/wool cover (You do not have to worry about messy accidents)<BR/>- a non-toxic recycled PET core, which is also washable (Take it outside and hose it down. The PET does not retain moisture and will dry quickly)<BR/>- it exceeds the California flame safety requirements without any synthetic or toxic flame retardants (All our products are non-toxic)<BR/>- excellent air flow and moisture regulation (Helps babies and toddlers sleeping longer and more comfortably) <BR/>- Light weight for cleaning and moving (Innerspring and latex mattress weight about 35 lbs)<BR/>- Made in the USA (All our products are made in the USA with a commitment to our local vendors first)<BR/></B><BR/>Stay tune because this mattress is due to be released early next year. <BR/><BR/>Lastly, I should set the records straight about the manufacturing of our mattresses. Our mattress are not made by Pure Rest, since contrary to your investigation, Pure Rest does not actually make or manufacture their innerspring mattress. . . nor do we. We are a distributor of organic mattresses for mattress manufacturing company which has been manufacturing organic mattress for the last 13 years and had been in the mattress business 77 years prior to that. This is total of 90 years in the mattress business, not to mention that they are still family owned and run. This is the only source we use.<BR/><BR/>This is the same manufacture that Pure-Rest gets some of their mattress from. We occasionally will have Pure-Rest send a mattress for us if our stock is low or our manufacturer is back logged. It's worth mentioning that Pure-Rest uses a few manufacturers for their range crib mattress, but is by no means a manufacturer of those mattresses.<BR/><BR/>Pixel Organics is at the fore front of the infant organic and non-toxic product revolution. We were the first company to introduce 100% certified organic modern crib bedding printing with a low-impact non-toxic process. We also were the first company to combine 100% organic cotton with recycled betting made from water bottles to create machine washable non-toxic bumpers and comforters. All our products are non-toxic and use only organic, non-toxic and recycled materials. We also manufacture all our products in the USA. Pixel Organics will continue to be on the cutting edge as and continue to develop non-toxic and sustainable products for infants and children.<BR/><BR/>Feel free to contact me at:<BR/>chris@pixelorganics.com<BR/><BR/>Best,<BR/>ChrisAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
