Health and Safety

Over the past decade both consumers and manufacturers have reevaluated the impact they’re having on the environment. Never before have there been so many green products on the market. At Colgate Mattress®, we take exception when companies intentionally mislead consumers and capitalize off of the public’s desire to be environmentally responsible and market products that aren’t truly Green.

Currently, there is no industry-wide standard for qualifying a crib mattress as being natural or organic. At Colgate Mattress, we hold ourselves to a higher standard than our industry. We believe any mattress that claims to be natural, green, organic or eco-friendly should have a greater percentage of green components than traditional components. Last we checked, there’s no such thing as biodegradable metal innersprings. We choose to call our natural products “Eco-Friendlier” in order to be transparent with our customers. Make sure the crib mattress company you choose is giving you verifiable facts versus simply upselling you on a more expensive model.

Newborns develop rapidly over the first two years, which is why our Colgate Mattress crib mattresses are designed to cater to an infant’s growth. Unlike adults, an infant’s mattress is more than a sleeping surface, it is their growth and developmental center. During sleeping periods, an infant needs a firm, flat, even surface to maximize his or her development. This is particularly important when the infant becomes more active in the crib. They need a firm surface to provide the resistance as they begin to push up, turn and eventually stand in the crib. A solid mattress base provides the resistance necessary for developing and strengthening muscles. Ask yourself this: Is it easier for an adult to walk on a wooden floor or a waterbed? That is the same concept when an infant begins to stand in the crib.

One of the latest innovations in crib mattress design involves breathability or the ability to enhance airflow. A well-designed, breathable mattress creates an internal microclimate that can both cool or warm baby, depending on the environment, thanks to internal air circulation. The most breathable mattresses are those that allow air to freely circulate inside the mattress as well as allow outside air to pass into the mattress.

At Colgate Mattress, we stand behind the integrity and craftsmanship we put into all of our products. While we’re very proud of our quality control, on rare occasions manufacturers’ defects do occur. We offer a product warranty that is a conditional warranty. Here’s what that means: The warranty is to the original purchaser who provides proof of purchase for as long as they own the mattress.
