Note: This vegan mattress does not contain wool and is free from fire retardant chemicals. For this reason, a prescription from a licensed physician needs to accompany the order. After ordering, please email a copy of your prescription to info@rugsbyroo.com. Alternatively, check out our line of Dreamton mattresses that include a layer of luxurious wool that acts as a natural flame retardant. No prescription needed and no flame retardants.
As you may know, traditional mattress manufacturers use many harmful chemicals in their mattresses. This White Lotus Home Crib Mattress, nicknamed the Dreamton, is made from USDA and GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) Certified Organic Cotton and the outer fabric is also 100% GOTS Certified Organic Cotton. Each mattress is crafted by hand and contains an inner core of unbleached, untreated cotton batting.
It starts with 18 to 20 layers of cotton, measuring about 26 to 30" thick, that is compressed during a process spanning three days. This labor-intensive technique results in a final product measuring 3.5" thick and is immensely firm, so much so that it cannot be bent or folded. The mattress is made firm to reduce the risk of SIDS and meets the most stringent of safety standards as set by the Consumer Product Safety Commission.
Free from all forms of chemicals, fire retardants and dyes, this White Lotus Home Dreamton Organic Crib Mattress is truly the purest option in the market and receives our Rugs by Roo stamp of approval! And did we mention that this mattress is handmade in the USA? It takes an artisan about 6 months to learn how to create a White Lotus Home crib mattress.

About Organic Cotton
As you're probably aware, cotton is a natural fibre that comes from the cotton plant and grows commonly all over the world. It is a renewable and eco-friendly material that is easy to clean and maintain. Cotton offers an unparalleled feeling of softness, comfort and warmth like no other fibres.
Things you might not know about cotton, however, is that conventional cotton farms uses heavy amounts of pesticides in the crop fields that not only poses a health risk for the farmers but also results in the cotton fibres being leached with toxins and chemicals that can impact your health.
Organic cotton is grown without the use of harmful pesticides and toxic chemicals. It doesn't damage the soil, has less impact on the air, uses less water and less energy than conventional cotton. The result is a cotton that offers the best of both worlds - safe for the farmers and safe for the end consumer.
Care Instructions
- It is recommended that you flip the mattress every three months if placed on a slatted surface, and every month if it is placed on a solid surface. This is avoid compaction and allow the material to air out
- For spills, spot clean only. Never saturate your mattress with liquid sprays.
- To spot clean, use a mild solution of three parts water to one part vinegar in a spray bottle. For particularly stubborn spills, a mild detergent is perfectly fine to add to the bottle as well.
- Always ensure your mattress is thoroughly dried after a spot cleaning, either by using a hair dryer or placing it in the sun to air out
- A protective Barrier Cloth or mattress cover is recommended to ensure spills never get out of hand
