Apollo with Edge Clips Innerspring Crib Mattress
Item# 594
Price# $289.00
Product Description
The Apollo crib mattress with edge clips mattress is a quality organic mattress with a value price. It has layers of organic cotton and Pure Grow Wool batting that are single needle quilted to an organic cotton fabric mattress cover. Our organic cotton is long staple and hand - picked (no vegetation). Our pure wool is sheared off healthy, happy organically raised sheep. These high quality materials are what set our mattresses apart from the less quality mattresses made from inferior U.S. cottons and wools. We use wool processed organically so that you know there are no extraneous chemicals or fibers. Most "organic" wool is processed in plants that process other fibers, so it gets chemicals and fibers in it.

The 260 elliptical coils give even, firm support to provide a comfortable and safe sleeping surface for your baby while reducing pressure points. This model also has edge guards so that the mattress will not compress in the corners if your little one sits on the edge, making it a great choice if you plan to use it for a toddler bed in the future.

Firm mattresses are safest but no matter what type of mattress you use, remember to always put your baby to sleep on their back to reduce the risk of SIDS.

We recommend using a pure grow wool puddle pad to protect the mattress from moisture.

Meets all government fire safety standards and CPSC (Consumer Product Safety Commission) guidelines for safety.

Why should I buy an organic crib mattress?
An organic crib mattress is the foundation for a healthy nursery. Babies spend about 60% of their first year sleeping so please don't put your baby to sleep on a cheap vinyl mattress which releases toxic chemicals into the air surrounding your baby. Vinyl mattresses contain chemicals including PVC, PBDE, arsenic and other chemicals you would not want to expose your baby.

PBDEs, already banned in many European countries, are synthetic fire retardants associated with impaired brain development in laboratory animals. Our organic crib mattresses meet all fire safety regulations by using pure grown wool rather than hazardous PBDEs. To learn more about PBDEs click here.

Thirty percent by weight of the PVC used in a typical crib mattress are phthalates, associated with asthma, reproductive effects, and cancer. Click here to read more about phthalates. Why take chances when there are healthy organic mattresses available for your baby?
