(NewJersey.CityRegions.Com, January 16, 2015 ) Verona, New Jersey -- If a product is labeled as being waterproof, it must contain some sort of plastic barrier. So don't be fooled by brands that claim their crib mattresses and mattress protector pads are "organic," as anything that is waterproof cannot be 100% organic.
When shopping for children's waterproof bedding items, it's important to pay close attention to the materials used. Not all plastics are considered to be highly toxic. However, the one material to avoid is vinyl, also known as PVC.
Many crib mattresses and crib mattress pads are often covered with PVC, which forms a thick plastic barrier over the fabric that blocks liquids out so that mattress will not become soiled, while also providing an easier way to clean up messes rather than washing the entire mattress. While most plastics contain a certain number of toxins, PVC has the worst reputation of all, as it is made using an astonishing number of chemical compounds that have been proven to be extremely toxic. Not only is PVC found in waterproofing materials, but it's also used in children's picture books, toys and blankets.
PVC based chemicals including such compounds as dioxins, vinyl chloride, and ethylene dichloride can cause permanent lung, kidney, and brain damage. The most poisonous PVC based compound is lead, which can cause several types of permanent nerve damage. There are also compounds such as phthalates, which can manipulate hormones, causing sexual and reproductive problems in infants and children.
Most parents are unaware that these chemicals are inside of products that are sold everywhere and used often, especially bedding products that their child may be sleeping on every night. Crib mattress covers made of vinyl also tend to have a strong plastic odor, make a crinkling sound with movement and are not breathable, therefore causing children to sweat. Vinyl also wears more quickly, is more likely to harden and crack and not washer/dryer-friendly.
Nursery Necessities Waterproof Crib Mattress Cover is made with the highest quality materials that are safe and have been tested by Intertek, a third party testing company that ensures the quality and safety of consumer products. It is made with a soft to touch, breathable peach skin microfiber top layer with 100% polyester filling and non-woven fabric backing, providing ultimate protection for the mattress, while also absorbing liquid from surface away from a sleeping child. Most importantly, it's safe, as it's vinyl/PVC-free, lead-free, phthalate-free, dye-free, hypoallergenic, and prevents against bacteria, mold and dust mites. It is also machine-washable and durable to withstand numerous washings. It can go in the dryer with no shrinking or wrinkling. Nursery Necessities Waterproof Crib Mattress Cover can be purchased on Amazon .
It's important that parents do their research and choose products for their children that are safe, non-toxic and sold by a trusted brand.
