Buying a mattress without actually laying on one is difficult. We know. We have tried to compare the natural and blend mattresses here to help in your decision. We want you to have the mattress you want that will make your night comfortable and your day productive. We have included on our Ecobaby site, a list of stores that carry our products, maybe there is one near you. If not, then I hope this chart provides you with the information you need to make an informed decision. Maybe you will accept some chemicals to save money, that is an option, we just do not want to sell them - with this chart you can have an idea of what your options really are without all the misinformation that is out there.

Here is the email response I got when asking a manufacturer about their rubber.

"Dear Ginny Turner,
 
Thanks for your interested in our mattresses and material.
 
Our latex foams in mattresses is 100% natural , and the rubberised coconut coir have less than 20% benzene , tolenene ----,which is far less content  than our china government's limit : 70%.  so we are proud to said that our products are totally natural and  organic. especially, we are dealing with the indivially pocketd plant spring. which is attractive in natural mattresses.
 
Looking forward to your letter
 
Best wishes

This concerns me as they are trying to say this is an all natural product

No toxic Chemicals All Talalay Small amount chemicals Many Chemicals Not sure on batting content 20% chemicals Boric acid in the flamebreaker
Finished product has 98% Rubber and zero chemicals. No 1% chemical traces in our rubber. 97% Rubber and 3% zinc and washing soda. Artificial Vanillin (petrochemical) usually added to mask natural odor.

See Virginia study on this vanillin

93% Rubber and 4% chemicals but company honest about it Rubber from India and the company itself who manufactures it says it is not pure, although the company selling it says it is. Here are their own test results.

Bedding-Green Guard Certification is weak and meets the following standards

This is a standard designed for the regular conventional industry. An organic mattress should surpass this entire standard easily.

Individual VOCs1 <1/100 TLV or ˝ CA chronic REL (whichever is less)
Formaldehyde <0.02 ppm
Total VOCs2 <0.2 mg/m3
Total aldehydes3 <0.04 ppm
Total Phthalates4 <0.01 mg/m3
Listing of measured carcinogens and reproductive toxins as identified by California Proposition 65, the U.S. National Toxicology Program (NTP), and the International Agency on Research on Cancer (IARC) must be provided.
Any pollutant regulated as a primary or secondary outdoor air pollutant must meet a concentration that will not generate an air concentration greater than that promulgated by the National Ambient Air Quality Standard (U.S. EPA, code of Federal Regulations, Title 40, Part 50).
1 Any VOC not listed must produce an air concentration level no greater than 1/10 the Threshold Limit Value (TLV) industrial work place standard (Reference: American Conference of Government Industrial Hygienists, 6500 Glenway, Building D-7, Cincinnati, Ohio 45211-4438).

2 Defined to be the total response of measured VOCs falling within the C6 - C16 range, with responses calibrated to a toluene surrogate.

3 Defined to be the total response of a specific target list of aldehydes (2-butenal; acetaldehyde; benzaldehyde; 2,5-dimethylbenzaldehyde, 2-methylbenzaldehyde; 3-and/or 4-methylbenzaldehyde; butanal; 3-methylbutanal; formaldehyde; hexanal; pentanal; propanal), with each individually calibrated to a compound specific standard.

4 Total phthalates include dibutyl (DBP), diethylhexyl (DEHD), diethyl (DEP), butylbenzyl (BBP), di-octyl (DOP), and dimethyl (DMP) phthalates.

Products meeting these emissions criteria also meet the Emissions Criteria defined by GREENGUARD for Children & Schools™.
GREENGUARD Certification affirms that a product's emissions fall within the limits selected by GREENGUARD from reputable third-party risk based criteria, as identified above. GREENGUARD program testing is conducted consistent with a defined protocol and does not measure emissions under usage conditions other than those defined in the protocol and does not address potential environmental impact other than chemical emissions.
