When it comes to creating a nursery, there are a lot of decisions to make, including a roomful of new furnishings. Since babies are more vulnerable to the potential effects of harmful substances, one of the best things you can do is choose the healthiest and safest products. From clean air to organic and sustainable products, there are many ways you can make their sleep space soothing and safe.

Here’s our checklist to create a healthy nursery:

1. Start with Organic Bedding

With newborns sleeping up to 17 hours a day, only the softest and safest fabrics will do, like the purest GOTS certified organic cotton. It's the highest organic textile standard and is chemical-free on baby's skin.

2. Select a GREENGUARD Gold Certified Crib

Did you know babies typically spend 90% of their time indoors? That’s why low-emitting furniture is a smart choice. Even one small change like a GREENGUARD Gold Certified crib and mattress can make a big difference. Not only is our furniture tested to meet or exceed the highest safety standards, it contributes to cleaner air because it meets strict chemical emission limits.
