Baby Memory Foam

Baby memory foam is NOT a good idea. The mattress used for an infant should be very firm and not soft. Memory foam is much too soft to be used for a babies crib mattress. When the child reaches the toddler age then they can sleep safely on a memory foam mattress.

There are certain factors that you should consider when deciding on a mattress for your baby.

-Make sure the mattress is the right size. It should fit the crib snuggly. So snuggly in fact that you should have trouble getting more than one finger in between the mattress and the crib.
-Make sure the mattress is firm enough. The mattress must be firm and supportive. It should also hold the fitted sheets in place to prevent the sheets from coming undone because that is a choking/suffocation hazard.
-Make sure the mattress is quality. Don’t buy a cheap mattress because you get what you pay for and they may not be as safe as a higher quality mattress.

So what kind of mattress should you buy?

The best type of mattress for your baby is not baby memory foam but a firm, organic mattress. When you child sleeps on a surface for sixteen hours don’t you want to make sure that that surface is not loaded with chemicals?

Most crib mattresses contain more chemicals than you can believe.
-Polyurethane – can cause cancer, respiratory illness, fetal damage. This is used as a filler in mattresses
-Boric Acid – used in the manufacture of mattresses and is also the main ingredient in roach killer
-VOC’s (Volatile Organic Compounds) – have been found in a large number of baby mattresses and has been known to cause respiratory and nervous system damage, depression in the cardiovascular system, liver and kidney damage, irritation to the eyes, cancer, and even cataracts.

So you can see why you would want an all-natural, 100% organic crib mattress. You can find baby memory foam that is natural but as you know you should wait until the baby is in the toddler stage.

Your baby needs a safe, natural organic mattress to guarantee that they will have a comfortable, dream-inducing, all natural and safe sleep. They need an organic mattress to guarantee that.

You can find these types of mattresses online. You can also find them at your local shopping mall but they may be a bit more expensive there.

So remember to not buy baby memory foam for an infant but you should consider an organic one.
