Vinyl Safety

Hi L.,

Unless you hear about a recall for a particular brand, or hear something on the news about it (I haven't heard anything, and I watch the news quite a bit). I once heard about some type of vinyl mattresses, the baby crib, toddler bed kind that might have been recalled a year or two ago, check with the place you bought it, or the brand/company itself. If this is not the case, I wouldn't worry about it. Just put a sheet over over the mattress cover, (I am assuming that is what you do).

Check out the water proof mattress ____@____.com are in cherry creek.
I use these for the bedS my grandchildren
and childcare use. Fabulous!

Vinyl does not allow the "breathing"
and causes excessive sweating.

Also, you can download a cd

i googled vinyl harms and there was tons of info, the above was just one of many. . .

I have a vinyl cover on my son's bed and it's been great for those occasional wet beds. I've never heard anything about them being unsafe. Just make sure they stay secure to the bed without coming untucked and since they are covered with a sheet, I can't see how anything like "fumes" or "smells" would be an issue.

Depends on the type of vinyl if it's considered "bad" or ok.

I've never heard anything like that! I have them on all my kids mattresses and my mom had them on our mattresses growing up. But, they do make a waterproof mattress pad. I have one on my oldest sons bed, not sure what it would hold if it got wet and would have to be washed each time. I don't think there's anything wrong with the vinyl ones, but that's my opinion. I have always been very healthy and so are my kids. Hope this help.
