Introducing: The safest crib mattress for your baby
When it comes to the big purchases you’ll need to make for your baby, it’s likely that the crib mattress isn’t the first thing that comes to mind. In fact, research showed that moms are either focused on the big furniture items like a crib, changing table, and glider/rocking chair for their baby’s nursery, or a car seat and stroller.
All of those are, no doubt, important purchases for babies, but the one item they’ll spend the most time in is the crib ON their crib mattress. Babies spend anywhere between 13-17 hours per day sleeping in the first year, which makes the crib mattress one of the most important purchases a new parent will make.
But where to start? Many crib mattresses on the market today claim to be safe and breathable, but are actually wrapped in an impermeable plastic layer to make them waterproof. But with Nook’s all-in-one crib mattress, the goal was to bring a safer, more breathable, more convenient option to help ease parents’ minds in an already overwhelming time in their lives.
We know how overwhelming it can be to shop for your baby. Add worrying about your baby’s safety and the realities of SIDS, and it can just feel scary. That’s why Nook is a great option, because of their commitment to providing a safe sleep environment by bringing products that reduce the risk of SIDS in the hopes of taking at least one area of concern away from parents.
What makes Nook crib mattresses safe?
Great question! Well, to start, it checks all of the boxes!
It is safe (non-toxic, no VOCs, free of off-gassing chemicals)
It is breathable (you can literally breathe through it)
It is eco-friendly/sustainable (free of plastics, biodegradable, won’t fill a landfill)
It solves a problem that parents are facing
It is versatile/multi-functional
All of their crib mattresses check the above boxes! Nook’s crib mattresses are supremely breathable AND eco-friendly because they don’t use ANY food grade polymer or plastic (other than the zipper on the cover). They’re all GREENGUARD Gold Certified Safe and Non-Toxic, dual-sided, and they all come with your choice of a SafeSleep™ cover so you don’t have to buy a waterproof crib mattress pad or sheets! Your crib mattress is ready for baby! So whether you’re looking for something organic, eco-friendly, or affordable, they’ve got something for you!
Some additional features of the mattress include...
Pure Organic - Coconut Husk, Natural Rubber Tree Latex, Wool
From its organic wool fire barrier to the organic coconut coir and natural rubber tree latex core, the Pure Organic is the most organic crib mattress. Every material found in their Pure Organic crib mattress is certified organic and sourced from the Earth: coconut husk, all-natural tree rubber, unprocessed wool and an organic cotton and eucalyptus cover — it doesn’t get much more organic than that! While others offer mattresses with some organic materials (i.e. organic cotton fill or covers), they’re often combined with non-organic materials like food- or medical-grade plastics, polymer or metal inner springs.
Breathable Breeze - CertiPUR-US® Foam with air channels
GREENGUARD Gold certified, made out of non-toxic CertiPUR-US® Foam and designed with air channels that optimize breathability, the Breeze gives you peace of mind so you can stop worrying and be confident that you're giving baby the best. The Breeze is supremely breathable and dual-sided, giving your baby a mattress that grows with them!
Dream Cotton - Eco-friendly made from 100% up-cycled denim
Give your baby the best in environmentally responsible products. The only crib mattress made of upcycled cotton denim, Nook’s GREENGUARD Gold certified Dream Cotton reinvents one of nature’s most breathable materials. Paired with the organic SafeSleep™ cover, each mattress keeps jeans out of landfills and helps reduce the risk of SIDS. Talk about putting your mom jeans to good use!
Lightweight Air - Value Mattress Made of CertiPUR-US® Foam
While both the Breeze and Air mattresses are supremely breathable, the Air does not have the added air channels. If you’re looking for a safe and breathable all-in-one crib mattress but are on a budget, this is the best mattress for you!
What about the SafeSleep™ Crib Mattress Cover?
What makes Nook crib mattresses different from other crib mattresses is that all of the mattresses come crib- and baby-ready with your choice of a safe, breathable, stylish, comfortable and organic cover. Another thing research shows is that moms want safety AND waterproof, but you, simply put, cannot do both. In order to be completely waterproof, you must use an impermeable plastic layer. We all know you can’t breathe through plastic, so putting a waterproof crib mattress pad on your breathable crib mattress basically eliminates the breathability, making it unsafe for your baby.
The patented SafeSleep™ covers use a nanosphere technology that wicks moisture away from baby and disperses it across the cover, keeping your baby’s temperature regulated and protecting your mattress from moisture. Take a look at it in action!
