A 2025 study in Environmental Science & Technology found that children’s mattresses can release harmful chemicals into infants’ sleeping environments, where they spend much of their time. Non-ecofriendly mattresses tested emitted 21 toxic chemicals, including phthalates, flame retardants, and plasticizers linked to endocrine disruption, neurotoxicity, and reproductive harm.
Children are especially vulnerable to toxic chemicals because their bodies are still developing, their skin absorbs more, they breathe more often, and they frequently put objects in their mouths. When mattresses and household products release chemicals, they spread into the air, dust, and surfaces, exposing children through everyday contact and the air they breathe.
