Thinking about buying a natural rubber crib mattress for your baby? What does natural rubber mean?
The major commercial source of natural rubber is the Para Rubber Tree which produces a white milky substance called latex.
Natural rubber can be used to designate any product that has natural rubber in it. Blends of 60% synthetic are stated as natural rubber (they do contain some natural rubber). Many companies claim they have an ALL Natural Rubber. The only problem is many companies did not test it to verify that it is indeed ALL-NATURAL and CHEMICAL-FREE.
Our rubber used in our Dunlap process is tested 100% chemical-free by Latexco (a third party agency). Only natural vegetable based soaps are used for washing. Our firm 100% Sri Lankan natural rubber does not contain fillers or toluene like the Indian rubber.
How Our Rubber Mattress Is Made
The 4" natural rubber core of the mattress is surrounded by an inner wool layer quilted to an organic cotton outer for natural flame retardency, water-resistance, bacterial resistance and dust mite control.
Our organic cotton used for wrapping the rubber core is long staple and hand-picked (no vegetation). Our pure wool is sheared off healthy, happy organically raised sheep. These high quality materials are what set our organic crib mattresses apart from the less quality mattresses made from inferior U.S. cottons and wools.
Our mattresses do not measure over 6" in total height. The higher the mattress, the less safe it is as your baby grows.
Our rubber baby mattresses meet all CPSC guidelines.
