The entirely chemical and animal product free Cot Mattresses
As the UK specialist in chemical free and safe fire-retardant materials, we are proud to add a unique Vegan Cot Mattresses to our range.
Our Cot and Cot Bed Mattresses pass the relevant safety and fire regulations: BS 7177:2008 + A1:2011. They also conform to the European standard BS EN 16890:2017(8.2.3 and 8.5.2.2).
At Cottonsafe® we have been actively lobbying to ban the use of fire retardant chemicals in all infant and baby products. The use of flame retardant chemicals in cot mattresses is of particular concern as babies are very sensitive to the adverse health effects of these chemicals, some of which are carcinogens and developmental toxins.
In creating an exclusive Vegan Cot mattresses, our primary objective was to meet the product safety requirements and to ensure that it contains absolutely no fire-retardant chemicals, no animal products, no foam and no dangerous residues which can be inhaled or absorbed. Read more about the safety standards in our blog here: Cot Mattress Safety Blog.
Each of our Vegan Cot mattresses are handcrafted to order in Devon and (unlike other manufacturers) we do not use solvents or adhesives in the construction as these may contain formaldehyde.
Inside the Vegan Cot mattresses, we use a thick layer of core support polyester to ensure the correct density and support level required to meet the strict safety regulations. The core support polyester allows maximum air flow to increase ventilation and reduce moisture build-up.
The outer cover of our Vegan Cot Mattresses uses our unique ‘Purity’ Polyester fabric. This is highly breathable so ideal for this purpose. This fabric has a very simple polymer, it is super-soft and hypoallergenic.
The cover is zipped in place and the zip puller removed to seal the cover in place and meet the safety regulations. The cover is an integral part of the cot and cot bed mattress and is not removable or washable. A waterproof cover is required (not supplied but a chemical free protector is available when placing your order).
Our Vegan Cot Mattresses are also eco-friendly and recyclable. All our Vegan Cot Mattresses meet the Stockholm Convention for recycling.
Materials
Polyester
An exceptionally breathable fibre, polyester evaporates moisture quickly, it’s non-allergenic which makes it the perfect sleeping solution for those suffering with multiple chemical sensitives and other allergies. Polyester sometimes has a bad press because it is a man-made fibre – but polyester is incredibly strong and gives great longevity! Furthermore it has a carbon footprint of about 3.8 Kg CO2e/Kg. This is about 40% less than that of cotton. So it has a lower environmental impact and is great for the circular economy. Interestingly polyester can also be used in organic mattresses under the GOTS regulations due to its very low off-gassing properties.
