CHAGRIN FALLS, Ohio - Lullaby Earth has launched a line of lightweight,
nontoxic, and recyclable crib mattresses that offer a number of health
and safety features for babies, the company said.
Lullaby Earth crib mattresses are made by the same company that makes Naturepedic organic cotton mattresses.
Unlike
competing products, Lullaby Earth crib mattresses are free of
vinyl/PVC, polyurethane foam (including "soybean" foam), PFC- and
antibacterial-treated fabrics. They are also waterproofed with
easy-to-clean, food-grade polyethylene, the company said. The primary
material in the line is polyethylene, but the beds also use some
polyester.
"We saw the need for affordable, nontoxic, and recyclable
infant mattresses and developed these two super-lightweight models with
the highest Greenguard certification available," said Barry Cik, Lullaby
Earth's technical director.
Weighing seven pounds (one-quarter the
weight of many crib mattresses), the mattresses are six inches thick.
The firm surface and edge support provide a comfortable and safe sleep
environment, and the seamless edges prevent bacteria buildup from
sitting moisture, the company said
.
The Lullaby Earth mattress
retails for $159, while the Lullaby Earth 2-stage Dual Firmness is $199.
The Lullaby Earth line is carried by Buy Buy Baby stores as well as
independent retailers.
