Organic bedding and science
In 2000, the Archives of Environmental Health released a report that supported the growing call for organic products for babies. Products made from synthetics and materials exposed to pesticides and processing chemicals emit toxic fumes for years. Crib mattresses (especially ones made from petrochemicals) can off-gas enough to contribute to respiratory tract irritation and cause lifelong harm to the brain, liver and kidneys.
A study published in the Journal of Exposure Analysis and Environmental Epidemiology shows alarming levels lead, pesticides and other toxic chemicals in everyday household dust. Scientists now believe our exposure to toxins is higher indoors, even though they don’t know the the long-reaching effects of that exposure.
Organic baby bedding can reduce your baby’s toxic load from day one. Natura’s organic collection is made from 100% certified organic cotton and wool – and in our organic mattresses, all-natural
Talalay latex.
Organic wool is naturally antimicrobial and hypoallergenic, which keeps your baby’s crib bedding free of dust mites and other harmful allergens that can trigger night time respiratory attacks and lingering skin and eye irritations.
The most devastating contaminants, pesticides and agri-chemicals, are absent in all of our organic bedding. What’s more, the NaturLatex™ crib mattress is exceptionally breathable, providing a natural ventilation system through the mattress.
Did you know that natural latex is 300% more resistant to dust mites than any other foam.
Wool proven to help babies cry less and sleep better
Natura’s Cry Less™ wool is naturally calming. With its exceptional ability to insulate against heat and cold, Cry Less™ wool creates a natural climate zone, absorbing and evaporating excess moisture before it has a chance to build up and disturb sleep.
In a study published in the Medical Journal of Australia, concluded that wool produced a soothing, swaddling effect that reduced stress on infants and lowers metabolic activity. Babies that slept on wool actually gained weight at a steadier rate than babies who didn’t sleep on wool.
Additional research conducted at the Cambridge Maternity Hospital, UK showed that sleeping on wool caused babies to cry less and settle more quickly after feeding.
Exceptionally soft to the touch, The Baby Natura™ Crib Collection also has a natural appearance, creating a calm, soothing environment that won’t over-stimulate your infant and rob them of precious sleep. And a sound night’s sleep for baby means a good night’s rest for Mom and Dad too.
