I THOUGHT I was very happy with this mattress, HOWEVER deceptive advertising?
UPDATE:4/8/14 - I purchased two of these mattresses and spent over $500 on them. Expensive, but I figured I would pay top dollar for something relatively safer and "cleaner" than standard typical mattresses. Well, I recently purchased the matching waterproof mattress cover from Colgate and was surprised at what I found. It is sold as "organic cotton", however the label stated 100% polyester. I called the company and they did not have a good answer for me. The woman said, "Oh no it's organic cotton. Maybe it's the wrong label, but that doesn't matter anyway because you cut it off after you get it." NOT THE RIGHT ANSWER. I am paying a premium for a product advertised as organic cotton, yet the label doesn't state something like -- 100% polyester (exclusive of surface) or anything like that. If you are selling a product as organic cotton, you definitely would be stating that on the material label as other companies do.
SO... now that made me suspect of this mattress, which states (and looks) like the same "certified organic cotton" surface. I looked at the material label on the mattress and it states "92% Urethane foam 8% Rayon". Once again, where is the organic cotton????!!!!
I really wish the company would address this issue. I highly doubt that these are all errors on the labels. If you really have a product made with organic cotton, you state it.
Original review: I spent a long time researching different crib mattresses. I have two cribs and initially received a different brand because it was the best available at Babies R Us. I kept that mattress for my secondary crib, but wanted to find a more natural, organic one that would serve as my infant's main crib mattress. I purchased this one several months ago and am very happy with it. There are two sides of firmness, to different degrees - one for a newborn and one for a toddler (they are both firm though.) There are no sagging spots and all crib sheets seem to fit perfectly on this mattress. There is no plastic odor like with some mattresses and this was very important to me. The mattress itself is soft and plush, but not waterproof, so make sure you buy a waterproof lining for under your sheets. This may negate the whole organic thing, but I don't want to ruin an expensive mattress after one accident.
