Cribs, Mattresses and Bedding

With solid construction and subtle color, the Sparrow Crib is the centerpiece of the nursery. Expertly crafted in Europe from FSC solid birch, the Sparrow Crib is easy to assemble and as safe as can be. The mattress support is constructed from a solid wood frame and a durable solid hardboard top.

A simple conversion kit is available to convert the crib into a toddler bed when the time comes.


Natural Latex Organic Crib Mattress

Picture
Made with natural rubber, which supports your baby while eliminating any worry of smothering. Encased in organic cotton damask; quilted with natural wool which has anti-bacterial, moisture wicking and natural fire-retardant properties.  Traditional mattresses are treated with chemcals such as stain guard and brominated fire-retardants, which have been known to disrupt sleep patterns, affect cerebral and nervous system development and cause allergies.  Make sure your baby is sleeping on a healthy mattress, free from toxins.  Standard size.

Made in Canada

Crib Bedding

Picture
Crib bedding and accessories made of soft, percale-weave natural cotton, reminiscent of farmhouse linens from a time when pesticides, chlorine bleach, dyes, formaldehyde, and chemical softeners were not added to natural fibers. Natural cotton is an affordable alternative to organic cotton.

Made from 100% natural cotton in Canada


Cloth Diapers

AppleCheeks Cloth Diapering System

Picture
AppleCheeks™ cloth diapers and accessories are proudly designed and manufactured in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, and have been tested on their own babies, so we know they work! Their diapers fit a larger range of babies than similar products on the market, and stand up better to the rigours of the washing cycle. They are fully customizable and can be used as a diaper cover over hemp or bamboo inserts, with boosters for added absorbency if so desired, and fleece liners to keep baby's skin dry and rash-free. Alternately, the handy, wide envelope opening allows you the option of placing the absorbent prefold underneath the microfleece lining, wicking moisture away from baby's skin and keeping him feeling nice and dry while still absorbing to the max! So many options in one diapering system!

AppleCheeks™ 2-Size Envelope Covers also fit nicely over a wide variety of fitted diapers. With the AppleCheeks™ system you will get less leaks and a much trimmer fit than with using fitted cloth diapers.

AppleCheeks™ covers feature a unique envelope design, similar to a pocket diaper, but with NO NEED TO UNSTUFF. The absorbent inserts come right out in the wash!
