3.0 out of 5 stars Somewhat misleading April 3, 2011

I ordered this mattress for our nursery because I thought the soybean foam would be more eco-friendly and have less off-gassing than typical foam mattresses. I knew that the outside was vinyl, which I didn't like. However, the low price and all the excellent reviews convinced me to buy anyways. When I got the mattress, it was as pictured and in good condition, with no smell, so I got rid of the box. I also like that it is firm and very light-weight.

Now, a few weeks later and I'm actually getting the crib ready, I see the tag says 27% cotton felt and 73% Polyurethane foam. Not a single mention of soy or soybean on the label. So I did a little more research into soy-based foams, and it turns out that companies can call their foam "Soybean-based" even if it has as little as 5% soy in it. Nowhere online can I find exactly how much of this mattress is made of soybean foam.

If I had kept all the packaging, I would be returning this for something that has a fabric shell and is more honest in the description. Unfortunately, I can't, so I am stuck with it because we can't afford to buy another mattress. If you are thinking of buying, just be aware of what you are actually getting.

5.0 out of 5 stars nice product, fairly ecoconscious August 3, 2009

This mattress seems to hit a nice median point in terms of being earth friendly, safe for your child, and reasonably priced. I did some research and found that this little mattress was able to provide the best safety from harmful chemicals in the middle price range. It was(is) neither too expensive nor cheap. I think it was $150.00. It does have a plastic casing which makes it not totally safe, but better than the average. My baby girl sleeps well on it and I sleep better knowing she is as safe - as safe as I can make her without buying a $400.00 mattress.

4.0 out of 5 stars Sealy Soybean Foam-Core October 17, 2010

I just recently purchased this mattress after a lot of research. In my search I had a hard time deciding whether this mattress was truly organic and without chemicals. The cover is made of vinyle-laminate which is the only part of this mattress thats makes it not completely organic. Sealy does however state that the cover although vinyl-laminate is phthalate and flammability compliant and does not contain toxic fire retardants. Sealy makes the exact same mattress called the Sealy Soybean Foam-Core Dream which is made with a cotton cover. I was able to find this mattress at Bed Bath & Beyond and Buy Buy Baby websites fot about 160$ plus shipping. Sealy's website is also helpful at [...]. I am overall happy with this mattress and its practicality.

Here are the specs from Sealys web site:

*Soy based foam-core offers improved durability over conventional foams and uses renewable resources resulting in the use of less crude oils.
