Why It's Best to Get a Certified Organic Kids Mattress
There are numerous reasons why you should get a certified organic mattress for your child. High quality feel, typically longer lifespans, and great value are just a few. Here are some more detailed strong points to consider, especially when shopping Essentia's range of organic latex foam kids mattresses:
- Better Sleep Quality: With mattresses made of certified organic cotton, wool, and latex, your child will undoubtedly get better sleep. Our breathable and temperature-neutral materials help ensure your child gets a deeper, more restful sleep.
- Allergy-Safe: Your child may have, or be developing, allergies that could disrupt their sleep. However, many organic kids' beds are antimicrobial and naturally resistant to dust mites and other allergens.
- No Harmful Chemicals: Conventional mattresses are treated with flame-retardant chemicals and other toxic substances. These tend to be harmful to sleepers, including children, in the long term. All of Essentia's organic kids' mattresses are 100% non-toxic.
- Learn to Be Green: Ensuring they sleep on sustainably produced beds helps young children understand, at an earlier age, the value and benefits of using products made with natural materials certified to organic standards.
What to Look For When Looking for an Organic Kids Mattress
There are several organic kids' mattresses on the market, but only one that passes the toughest test: your care and judgment for what's best for your child. There are all kinds of factors in this very personal test, but here are a few we recommend you focus on in order to find the best organic mattress for kids:
Positive Brand Reputation
A major characteristic to look for in your next organic kids mattress industry is the maker's reputation. An established track record of reviews that showcase a bed's comfort and its impact on children's sleep quality is a strong signal. It means you've found a brand that really cares and proves it by delivering a great bed (like us at Essentia).
Notable Certifications
In addition to their reputation, you should also check whether an organic kids mattress brand holds a reputable organic certification.
Two significant mattress certifications to look for are the Global Organic Textile Standard, or GOTS-certified organic cotton, and the Global Organic Latex Standard, or GOLS-certified organic latex.
Having these certifications indicates that a brand follows strict standards and produces its materials using only the best organic materials available.
And, to be upfront, all Essentia beds, including our kids' mattresses, are GOLS and GOTS-certified (our certification ID is CU-847578 if you'd like to check).
Impressive Features for Growing Children
Another aspect to consider when selecting an organic mattress for your child is the features each brand offers. Some have flippable, dual-sided mattresses, with one side providing medium-firm support and the other softer or firmer, so it fits your child's evolving preferences.
Other organic kids' mattresses also boast features like waterproof surfaces, helping keep the bed clean while accommodating children with messy tendencies or those who are growing out of bedwetting. A bed that mirrors all parts of your child's life is a worthwhile one to get.
Through years of research and development, Essentia's beds address 8 key elements for better deep sleep, ensuring you or your child gets healthier sleep and better rest for the next day.
