Give Baby the Best with Natural Baby Furniture

If you live an eco-friendly lifestyle there is no doubt that you would like to bring up your child with the same principles. Or you could just want to give your baby the best from the very beginning. Either way natural baby furniture is the way to go when choosing furniture for the nursery. Natural baby furniture as the name implies, is free from harsh chemicals and toxins - that is all things we would never want to expose our children to, let alone a newborn baby.

Wood and Cotton

Plastic cribs are cheaper than wooden cribs but when you consider that one is made from chemicals and the other from natural material the price difference doesn't seem like such a big deal. Wooden cribs range from rustic traditional looking cribs to elegant canopied affairs. Natural baby furniture is also sturdier and can be kept for younger brothers and sisters. Natural baby furniture comes with non toxic varnishes to ensure that not only does baby's nursery look nice but your child is safe.

When using the word furniture we tend to think of wood or plastic, something solid. However when you opt for natural baby furniture there is a third type of furniture that you can furnish your nursery with, fabric. Organic cotton boxes can be used to store clothes and toys in place of wooden or plastic containers. The idea of cotton boxes may seem flimsy but cotton boxes are sturdy enough to support a child and are child friendly too. Little fingers won't get hurt when these lids close on exploring hands and cotton boxes are also easy to wash and keep clean.

Organic Mattresses

Organic mattresses are also part of natural baby furniture, it doesn't make sense to use a mattress made from synthetic materials after buying a wooden crib. Synthetic foam in most crib mattresses contain harmful chemicals and are especially dangerous as your baby is directly inhaling these chemicals for almost 10 to 14 hours a day. Using natural mattresses which are made from cotton and organic materials are a much safer alternative for your baby.

Cotton allows air to circulate freely and provides the perfect temperature and humidity for sleeping babies. Natural rubber used in the core offers firm support and is the right density for a mattress. The wool that surrounds the rubber core is a natural fire retardant and replaces chemical fire retardants found in normal crib mattresses. Using natural baby furniture fulfills your needs while keeping your baby safe; what more could you want?
