The natural rubber crib mattress is
Dandelion Summers' most supportive organic
crib
mattress. The innersprings and foam of conventional crib
mattresses are replaced with natural
rubber. Our natural rubber organic crib mattress has a 4
inch inner natural
rubber core. Dandelion Summers healthy crib mattresses use Latex Green Rubber, which has
been
third party tested for purity. The natural rubber is surrounded by an
inner layer of wool sheared
from certified organic sheep
and processed according to organic
standards. The organic wool is quilted to the European organic
cotton outer layer. The wool in all of our organic crib
mattresses is thick enough to make the organic crib mattress naturally flame retardant without
the use of any added chemicals. Our organic crib mattresses are
standard crib size, which is 28” wide and 52” long.
At Dandelion Summers we know a healthy crib environment goes beyond
wood and slat width. A natural and organic
baby crib mattress is the first step toward a healthy crib environment
for your baby. A healthy baby requires
a natural and non-toxic crib mattress as well. All
of Dandelion Summers' organic crib mattresses pass all safety
regulations and CPSC
guidelines. All of our organic mattresses carry a 10 year
manufacturer’s warranty. Not only will it last your child's
growth span but it will last for multiple children's use.
We are committed to offering our
customers the finest and the purest organic mattresses available. The
natural dunlap latex used in our natural rubber crib mattress is called
“latex green rubber” and has been 3rd party tested free of
any potentially harmful chemical additives or fillers. Please

Why choose an organic crib mattress
for your baby? An organic crib mattress is naturally more
comfortable for your growing baby and has no potential to deter this
precious time of growth and change with unnatural chemicals. As
your child grows and becomes interested in where all things come from
you can have the opportunity to share exactly how his mattress has been
made. My son has shown a curious interest in all things origin.
His understanding of how we use materials from the earth to
function and improve our lives is important. Read below for the
origins of Dandelion Summers organic mattresses. The answers I was
able to give him about something that he uses every night (his organic
crib mattress that now still fits in his toddler bed) are easy to
understand and realistic to his mind. You may discover less
daytime fussiness when your baby sleeps on an organic mattress.
Dangerous off-gassing chemicals in a conventional mattress are
avoided and a more comfortable, natural sleep can be attained. I
feel peace of mind
knowing I have offered my baby a more pure and natural way of sleep.

A note about our
Natural Rubber:
The natural rubber used in our organic crib
mattresses is manufactured from the sap (also called milk) of the hevea
brasiliensis tree (rubber tree). It is grown in plantations in
Southwest Asia. The hevea milk is processed close to the plantations
which is important for two reasons. First, because raw hevea milk
destabilizes when keep too long, manufacturers who transport the milk
before processing add chemicals to stabilize it. The natural rubber
used in our organic crib mattresses is harvested and processed in the
same day. Only air, natural soap and natural vulcanization agents are
used in manufacturing the rubber. Second, manufacturing the rubber
where is is harvested sustains local economy. Rubber is a
renewable resource and rubber tree plantations help combat the green
house effect.

The benefits of natural rubber in an
organic crib mattress:
- Excellent heat regulation, which means a
body is kept warm in winter and cool in summer
- Excellent moisture regulation. Natural
rubber is resistant to moisture buildup
- Flexible, yet stable, giving superior
comfort
- Shape retention
- Superior durability and elasticity, which
means a long lasting mattress
- Superior air circulation, which inhibits
the growth of molds and mildew
- Naturally antibacterial and hypoallergenic
- Hevea milk contains an antibacterial
substance that is a natural dust-mite repellant
- Natural rubber is biodegradable
|
A note about our certified organic cotton:
The organic cotton used for our organic crib
sheets mattresses is grown and processed organically. Our
organic cotton is grown and manufactured in India in accordance with
fair trade practices. Indian organic cotton is a long staple cotton
which allows it to be tightly woven. Because it is hand picked, our
organic cotton does not include cotton seeds which can add flecks and
oils to machine picked organic cotton. The organic cotton is also
processed in a certified organic processing plant. The organic
cotton is thus uncontaminated from synthetic and non-organic fibers. No
synthetic finishes are added to the organic cotton fabric.
|
A note about our Pure Grow Wool:
The Pure Grow Wool used in our organic crib
mattresses is raised by U.S. growers who agree to follow responsible
and healthful farming practices in order to create a superior and pure
wool. The sheep are given good nutrition, fresh air, daylight,
non-crowded living conditions and clean and roomy shelters. The
wool is sheared from healthy, living sheep, then washed and carded. The
wool is completely untreated and unbleached. Wool has many properties
that make it an ideal natural fiber for bedding. Wool is mildew
resistant, a natural fire retardant, very resilient, insulates without
overheating, and is able to wick moisture away from the body.

Allergy
Note:
Rubber: Most people who are
allergic to synthetic latex do not react to natural rubber. The
reason for this is that the protein molecules that cause the allergic
reaction to synthetic latex are removed in the natural rubber.
Wool: A true allergy to wool is
very uncommon. Most people who experience an allergic reaction when
wearing wool, are actually reacting to the chemicals in the wool.
The wool used in our mattresses is Pure Grow Wool,
and is free of added chemicals. Those people with true allergies
to wool, usually react to the wool fibers when they are airborne.
Since our wool is covered, this should not be a concern.
If you are concerned about allergies,
please order our Allergy Test Kit. It contains samples of the materials
used in our organic crib mattresses.

The Importance of a Natural Organic Crib
Mattress
Our babies and children spend a considerable
amount of time sleeping. It makes sense to have the healthiest
possible sleeping surface for your baby and children. Conventional crib
mattresses are made of polyurethane foam, polyester and vinyl and
treated with chemicals, including fire retardants. There is
concern about the off-gassing of these mattress materials. Polyurethane
foam, for instance, off-gasses toluene (an industrial solvent and a VOC
- volatile organic chemical). A group of fire retardants known as
PBDE’s are used in mattresses. These chemicals have been found to
accumulate in the human body. A great cause for concern is its
affect on children’s learning and behavior.
Synthetic materials are not breathable, like
natural materials are. The all natural materials of our
mattresses allow for better air flow and help the body maintain a more
comfortable temperature.
The organic crib mattresses that we offer at
Dandelion Summers are made of 100% natural materials and are thus free
of synthetic chemicals. The use of an inner layer of wool makes
the mattresses naturally fire resistant without the use of
chemicals. All mattresses pass all safety regulations and CPSC
guidelines.
