NATURAL AND ORGANIC MATTRESSES A SMART CHOICE FOR PARENTS

Children are vulnerable to toxic chemicals. In fact, children are far more vulnerable to toxic chemicals than adults, especially within their first few years of life. Considering that children spend over 50% of their early life on a crib mattress, it would be prudent to use materials that don’t contain dangerous chemicals. Healthy Child Healthy World (HCHW), formerly the Children’s Health Environmental Coalition (CHEC), a nationally recognized non-profit organization, is dedicated to educating the public regarding environmental toxins that can affect children’s health. A lack of clear health information necessitates a precautionary approach to chemical exposure and toxins. HCHW has launched the Blue Butterfly Campaign, with the goal of encouraging millions of people to join the fight for a healthier world for our children. As part of the Blue Butterfly Campaign, HCHW is recommending the Naturepedic No-Compromise Baby Mattress as an excellent way for parents to help reduce their children’s exposure to potentially harmful chemicals. Scientific and medical literature increasingly demonstrates that many of the chemicals commonly found in crib mattresses should be avoided as much as possible, especially for babies and children. Nearly all baby mattresses today contain polyurethane foam, vinyl (PVC), phthalates, chemical fire retardants, and an extensive list of added industrial chemicals. Some of these chemicals have been shown to leach out into the surrounding air. HCHW’s Blue Butterfly Campaign goals include: 10 million impressions through print, television, and the web 500,000 people receiving the free “Healthy Homes/Healthy Kids” Kit 2 million new parents taking 5 simple steps to make their nursery rooms healthier Outreach to 25,000 childcare centers HCHW encourages you to support the effort of making long term environmental health a national priority. HCHW’s educational programs and public health measures regarding the dangers of toxic chemicals will greatly improve the health of our children, while saving the nation billions in health care costs.
