Sealy Soybean Foam-Core Crib Mattress

I ordered this mattress for our nursery because I thought the soybean foam would be more eco-friendly and have less off-gassing than typical foam mattresses. I knew that the outside was vinyl, which I didn't like. However, the low price and all the excellent reviews convinced me to buy anyways. When I got the mattress, it was as pictured and in good condition, with no smell, so I got rid of the box. I also like that it is firm and very light-weight.

Now, a few weeks later and I'm actually getting the crib ready, I see the tag says 27% cotton felt and 73% Polyurethane foam. Not a single mention of soy or soybean on the label. So I did a little more research into soy-based foams, and it turns out that companies can call their foam "Soybean-based" even if it has as little as 5% soy in it. Nowhere online can I find exactly how much of this mattress is made of soybean foam.

If I had kept all the packaging, I would be returning this for something that has a fabric shell and is more honest in the description. Unfortunately, I can't, so I am stuck with it because we can't afford to buy another mattress. If you are thinking of buying, just be aware of what you are actually getting.
