It has been researched over the years that SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome) may be linked to mattress toxins. Chronic illness and mattress toxins have also been connected. I am not suggesting that mattress toxins are the cause of IC, but, every added toxin in your direct environment can be a contributing factor in your unwellness.

SIDS
I actually just read somewhere that in New Zealand they have been able to cut the incidence of SIDS in half by recommending that parents put a protective covering on their babies' mattresses. In 1994, NZ initiated a "mattress-wrapping campaign" and since then the rate has dropped 48%. Additionally, no babies sleeping on wrapped mattresses have died. The recommended wrapping is polyethylene, which could potentially create its own problems, but it is still quite an impressive result.

New Zealand Research
Yes, I that is exactly where the research began! We used those covers in our home for our children because of that research. It is incredibly fascinating, although, I do think there are additional factors involved, but, I won't go into that here.
