5 Reasons Why Stressed Moms Are Switching To KATU's Organic Crib Mattress
Unmasking the hidden health dangers in mainstream crib mattresses.
KATU was started after the founders went through the stressful process of buying a crib mattress themselves, having to choose between unhealthy or expensive options. Something had to be done.
That's why we developed the KATU Organic 2-Stage Crib Mattress - comprised of just organic-certified latex, coconut fibre, wool and cotton. So mothers can rest assured their little ones are sleeping safely - completely breathable, completely organic
A study (source) found that many brands treat their crib mattresses with flame retardant chemicals to meet official standards. Unfortunately, these chemicals, such as polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), have been linked to a range of health issues, including endocrine disruption, neurodevelopmental delays, and reproductive toxicity.
At KATU, we use organic wool as a natural flame retardant barrier, so no need for adding harmful chemicals.
A study by the National Center for Health Research (source) found that the Vinyl (PVC) commonly used in waterproof mattress covers often contains phthalates to increase flexibility. Phthalates are concerning as they're commonly linked to the onset of asthma and allergies.
As KATU, our mattresses are 100% vinyl/plastic-free, including organic materials only. We sell an organic cotton mattress protector separately for those interested.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the dual-sided design benefit my child?
This means the crib mattress has a firm side and a slightly softer side. For infants, use the firm side. Once the baby is approximately one year old, turn the mattress over for a more comfortable sleep surface. Both sides are firm enough to be safe for an infant.
How do I care for the mattress?
Since we wanted to make the mattress completely plastic-free, it is not waterproof on its own. Hence we strongly recommend pairing it with the KATU Organic Mattress Protector which fits our mattress perfectly, we offer this at a discounted rate when purchasing a mattress for your ease of use
