Puddle pads are the greatest thing if you’ve got babies, puppies and dogs in the house as this protects the surface of your sleeping space, ergo, the mattress.
Because it’s wool, it also provides proper ventilation and warmness.
From Dax Store, the puddle pad is known to repel all kinds of liquid while remaining soft and light and very comfortable to the skin.

Here’s another mattress made of chemical free materials. This time it’s from Obasan, which I believe is a Canadian company.
Obasan innerspring mattresses are constructed in a unique toxin-free manufacturing environment, eliminating the possibility of any contamination being passed on to you. Our electrically tempered steel coils have no plastic or oil coatings. The mattress cover is a thickly quilted organic-fabric pad with a unique multi-layered construction that prevents slippage and padding migration. Extra-strong border wire holds the coils in place and prevents the mattress sides from sagging, extending mattress life and promoting wrinkle-free uniformity of the upholstery. All of these features are designed to afford you hours of restful sleep. All mattresses have a heavy-duty organic cotton cover, a quilted top without dust-attracting tufting holes, edge protection all around, quilted borders, ventilation grommets, and reinforced fabric handles. Each layer of pure wool acts as a flame retardant and natural dust-mite repellent.
Obasan will gladly accommodate special requests for custom made mattresses, if extra length or width is required. In photo is their no-flip Forillon series.

Dandelion Summer’s Baby Blankets
0 Comments Published by Lilian July 4th, 2008 in MATTRESS Accessories.Start them young and healthy with organic crib beddings. Protect the infants from the harsh chemicals found in their sleeping area, which adults may not realize could be harmful.

These organic cotton baby blankets are also made from stretchy fabric in really vibrant colors for $19.99 a piece at Dandelion Summer.

The mattress designed for sloths, maybe?
Toby Treyer-Evans designed this flexibly thin roll up mattress, which conveniently becomes a laundry bag. With built in handles on the sides…placed strategically by the way, the owner can just toss all his clothes onto bed, roll it and dump everything on the machine as you go.
It doesn’t say a lot for comfort though, so really this mattress isn’t actually meant for sleeping but for cleaning.
