Not only do I have increased peace of mind from the health benefits of purchasing the Naturepedic Verse twin bed for my 6 year old, but it's soft, comfortable and a perfect next step from the 2-in-1 mattress we started with when she was potty training. I highly recommend this mattress. We spend so much time in our beds, so I believe there is no better place to allocate your resources if you're trying to pick and choose where you reduce the toxin exposure in your life and your children's lives.
