Question from DomsMom
Hi, I’ve been researching through your site and just as I think I have FINALLY found a safe toxin-free mattress for my 2 year old, I feel unsure again.
I was going to go with the Bella Sera Nove 3 mattress. I choose this mattress because it has organic wool, from the USA. I am was/am still concerned about the possibility of contaminants in the wool- arsenic, mercury, etc. I’ve heard about Lanolin being contaminated with toxins, so I assume wool could be as well.
I figured that if the wool was organic, it would probably be free of contamination, but how do I know that? I cannot find any brand that says that they screen their wool for these things.
Then, I read about latex exposure causing latex allergies, and am at a loss…
Oh, I also read about EMF’s in the innerspring mattresses, so I crossed those off my list as well.
My son is currently sleeping on a Naturepedic crib mattress, but I want to get him something more comfortable. The Naturepedic is extremely firm and I’m not a big fan of it. Help!!
