There are very few lead hazards in most new home goods so we\u2019ve turned our focus here on products that are eco-friendly and non-toxic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bedding<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We prioritize bedding made from natural fibers and prefer GOTS certified<\/a> organic cotton which limits how the cotton is grown, dyed, and processed. We avoid polyester, wrinkle resistance treatments that may emit formaldehyde, and conventional waterproof mattress protectors which may contain PFAS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mattresses<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We recommend choosing mattresses made from natural materials, especially certified organic contents, which have not been treated with flame retardants including antimony trioxide. We spend so much of our lives in bed so it makes sense to prioritize non-toxic options. We use Naturepedic and My Green Mattress in our home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Window Treatments<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Our primary concern for curtains and window treatments is to avoid PVC, flame retardants (less likely), and PFAS (more likely).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earthshade<\/a> is one of the best companies selling non-toxic window coverings currently on the market. They sell Roman shades, roller shades, and mini blinds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IKEA<\/a> has a large variety of curtains without intentionally added PFAS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furniture<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We avoid solid brass hardware which can contain lead, inset stained glass panels, leather, vinyl, reclaimed wood, galvanized panels, painted metal, or PVC sheets which are sometimes glued over pressed wood as a veneer. We avoid polyurethane foam that has been treated with flame retardants and upholstery fabric that has been treated with PFAS. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Organic latex is going to be the least toxic option for padded furniture but it is out of the budget of most households. However, keep in mind that a small percentage of the population has an allergy to latex, so this material may not work for everyone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We prefer solid wood or wood products made with VOC-free finishes or at least finishes that outgas quickly. Certifications such as Greenguard Gold<\/a> are a plus. Air quality is an important factor when choosing brand new furniture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IKEA<\/a> is going to have the best variety of furniture with low impacts on air quality and no intentionally added PFAS. Some of their products are particle board while others are solid wood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most of the furniture options at Amazon with non-toxic qualities are designed for children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We liked this low-VOC, solid wood option for kid\u2019s beds:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Max & Lily Bunk Bed, Twin-Over-Twin Wood Bed Frame For Kids, Natural<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/a>\"\"\n\n\n\n

For adults we recommend Grain Wood furniture which has several no-VOC and low-VOC finishes over their solid pine, sustainably harvested products. We have spoken to the company and found them to be very responsive and knowledgeable about non-toxic concerns. The hardware we tested<\/a> from them in our recent dresser purchase is non-detect for lead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
