Creating a Natural & Healthy Sleep area for Your Baby

There are many things to consider with bringing a newborn baby into your home in providing a safe and healthy sleeping environment for the well-being of your baby. From cribs, mattresses, bedding materials to baby monitors, you may want to consider the most natural and green products to ensure the best environment for a safe and healthy sleeping area.

Your Natural Shop has many great natural products and brands to shop and compare on our site for your baby’s sleeping needs – to help you get started, we have covered some sleep room basics for “green” and natural products here:

CRIBS & MATTRESSES: There is more to a crib and mattress than just a comfortable place for your baby to sleep and count their sheep – it should be a healthy, safe and comfortable area for the protection of their delicate respiratory system, as well as for their overall health and well-being. Cribs and mattresses that are made from eco-friendly and healthy materials which are free of toxins and VOC’s, will ensure the optimal safety for your baby’s health and sound restorative sleep. For cribs, look for those made from sustainable and organic wood products, as well as water based paints and glues; and for mattresses, check for organic and non-toxic materials.

ATLANTIC furniture makes cribs from natural and green sources and materials.

CIELO q-Collection is known for its sustainable manufacturing with hardwood from local sources, non-toxic, low-VOC stains and paints, and glues that contain no formaldehyde.

OEUF baby furniture’s mission is to ensure environmentally sound children's furniture products starting from the materials to the manufacturing processes, as well as the selection of recycled packaging. They are known for their eco friendly, simple and clean designs.

NATUREPEDIC understands the potential harm that can come from toxic chemicals and is committed to providing safer and healthier mattresses and bedding accessories for your baby.

NATURA believes a healthy sleep starts with natural ingredients and they practice eco-logic in everything they do – from their plant to their offices to how they reach out to their retailers. They use all natural wool, and latex and cotton material in their mattress products.

STROBEL mattresses are conforming, hypo-allergenic, made of pure urethane or latex foam cores with no chemicals or toxins, and there is no stitching on the top surface edges where moisture and bacteria can enter the mattress.

BEDDING: Considering your baby will be spending a good deal of time sleeping, it is important to ensure the safest and healthiest materials used for their bedding. To avoid harmful chemicals, toxic dyes, and pesticides that are often used in the production of most fabric materials and can cause skin reactions or allergies and other health issues, look for bedding made from organic and natural materials such as organic cotton, wool, hemp or bamboo. It is advised to keep bedding materials such as bumpers, pillows, and blankets to a minimum in your baby’s sleep area which you should keep in mind when outfitting your baby’s crib for their optimal safety as well.

TADPOLES crib bedding uses 100% certified organic materials. The soft, thick waffle weave cotton is pleasing to the touch and creates a healthy environment for the baby.

NATUREPEDIC also provides organic baby crib sheets, mattress covers and more.

SAGE CREEK NATURALS proudly creates organic cotton baby bedding with no chemicals or pesticides being used in the entire growing and manufacturing process. All dyes are eco-friendly and no finishing agents are used on their fabric.

BABY MONITORS: A reliable baby monitor will ensure you are aware of your baby’s safety while they are sleeping and you are not in the room. If you are concerned about radiation emissions from some baby monitors, you may want to consider avoiding DECT baby monitors and look to 900 MHz baby monitors. It is advised to turn the baby monitor off when you absolutely do not need it and station the monitors at least 10 feet from both your bed and your baby’s crib.
