Where to Buy a Non-Toxic Kid and Toddler Bed?
If you want to buy a non-toxic toddler bed, one of the most important things is to look at whether the product is Greenguard GOLD certified. This furniture certification means that the toddler bed contains no harmful chemicals such as VOCs, formaldehyde, and toxic glues and stains.
With the Greenguard GOLD certificate, you can be sure you’re getting a truly non-toxic piece of furniture that won’t be releasing any toxic gases into the air in your child’s bedroom. These gases have been shown to affect the nervous system and respiratory system causing an array of health issues.

How to Choose a Non-Toxic Toddler Bed?
There are a few criteria that you could take into consideration when buying a non-toxic kids bed:
- Make sure it’s made from solid wood or eco MDF. Normal MDF contains wood particles glued together with highly toxic glues and adhesives. Plywood can also be toxic as the wood laminates are also glued with glues that release VOCs and other harmful substances making them potentially toxic to your child. Solid wood or eco MDF coated with oil or zero-VOC paints and finished is the best choice.
- Zero-VOC or low-VOC paints. VOCs are volatile organic compounds that are released into the air for many months after buying your furniture. Research shows that breathing in VOCs can have a negative effect on respiratory health and the nervous system, which can be especially dangerous to your growing child.
- It’s best to pick kids bed made in Europe, Canada, or the USA. Some pieces of furniture made in Asia have been found to contain lead and other potentially harmful chemicals.
- Look for beds with Greenguard GOLD certification. This certificate is given to furniture manufacturers that follow very strict standards regarding the materials and the manufacturing process to make sure that their products are free from toxic chemicals and VOCs. With Greenguard GOLD you can be sure that the piece of furniture you’re buying is safe and nontoxic.

What Else do you Need for a Truly Non-Toxic Toddler Bed?
If you want your child to sleep in a truly nontoxic environment, apart from a nontoxic bed you’ll need to find a nontoxic mattress with organic cotton cover and organic bedding. A toddler bed mattress may contain many harmful chemicals that keep off-gassing many months after you buy them. These harmful substances have been shown to have a negative effect on children’s nervous system, causing problems with concentration and behavior.
Also, your child’s bed linen can use toxic dyes and other chemicals that will affect the air quality in their bedroom. All these chemicals can cause respiratory problems, allergies and other health issues that could be easily avoided by buying truly non-toxic, organic bedding.
One of the best places to buy organic bedding for your child, including an organic mattress, is Naturepedic. All the bedding products they offer are Greenguard GOLD certified so you can shop with confidence. You’ll easily find non toxic mattresses, natural and organic duvets and pillows and more.
Conclusion
Finding a non-toxic toddler bed may be a challenge. Most children’s beds contain a lot of toxic compounds that can affect your child’s sleep quality and health. Non-toxic childrens’ bed is usually more expensive than normal beds, but this investment is so worth it. Studies show that by limiting your contact with dangerous chemicals during their sleep, you can seriously reduce their risk of developing diseases such as asthma, nervous system disorders and cancer.
Make sure that apart from a nontoxic bed, you buy a non-toxic, organic mattress as a toddler bed mattress can be another source of volatile organic compounds and chemicals (such as flame retardants and polyurethane foam) that can have a serious effect on your child’s health. If you want a truly safe and non-toxic mattress, choose a mattress made from natural and organic materials, such as natural latex, organic cotton, and wool.
