I didn't even know those sorts of chemicals were in mattresses! Question: would it be better to look into waterbed mattresses for my family? I assume since they're waterbeds, there's no need to contain fire retardants like that? That’s incredible! I didn’t even know those sorts of chemicals were in mattresses!

That's even easy to smell! Later it gets diluted, but does it really disappear? Another possibility is to cover your mattress with as many other layers, bedding, blankets etc as possible, especially the baby mattress! But when the time comes to change the mattress I would definitely invest in a green one, doesn't have to be the most expensive one after all. .-= Cotton Organic Mattress´s last blog ..<a href="http://cottonorganicmattress.com/organic-mattress-shop.html" rel="nofollow">Organic Mattress SHOP</a> =-.

A friend of mine also just bought organic pillows and LOVES THEM! The results of that study in New Zealand are amazing too... to think that SIDS dropped so dramatically...
