When To Purchase A Bassinet Mattress Pad

[Biloban]

This process involves releasing chemicals into the air once a product is opened, which may or may not have a strong scent. The chemicals are released because the air has been trapped due to packaging.

To avoid off-gassing, check the labels on your baby’s bassinet mattress pad for plastic and other harmful substances. And always research the materials labeled on the bassinet mattress pad if you’re not sure what something is.

If you notice a substance that could harm your baby, keep looking for another bassinet mattress pad!

Fire Resistance
As of 2007, all mattress pads are required to contain enough Fire Retardant Chemicals to withstand a two-foot-wide blowtorch open flame for 70 seconds.

Nearly 92 percent of the market (or most major sleep-product brands) use highly controversial fire retardants due to their cost-efficiency. Look for a stamp of certification from the GREENGUARD Gold program to know if the fire retardants used in your baby’s mattress pad are safe.

The GREENGUARD Gold program is the strictest certification offered by Underwriters Laboratory (UL) and recognizes products that are safe for children to use.

In your search for a bassinet mattress pad, remember to put your baby’s safety first, which is what we do here at Biloban Baby. But also consider your little one’s comfort level so they can get a good night’s sleep!
