No PVC. I love this mattress I now own three of them. We replaced almost all our mattress with these. Very please with it.

The details are given in the product description, here they are:- 100% Organic Cotton- Made in USA- Free of phthalates, vinyl, nontoxic polyurethane foam- Includes 100% cotton cover.It had a very faint smell. I aired it outside for about 30min and the smell was gone. It is actually a very good mattress. I would recommend it.

Any mattress covers do not come with the mattress. I use a mattress protector on the mattress, then use a fitted sheet on the top, so that I do not leave any stains on the mattress!

the plastic wrapping had a "plastic" smell but once off the mattress & allowing the mattress to air out, I did not notice a smell when I first used it.

The label on mine just says 75% cotton and 25% polyester. It does say PVC free, BPA free, and formaldehyde free, though.

Yes, there is a different item designated for mattress cover and another for box spring cover. I ordered both items.

it is some kind of pvc, very durable, slight smell, that dissipates. Not as bad as some!

Yes on both accounts. This product is made from HDPE, which is BPA and PVC free. In fact, PVC is a different kind of plastic altogether. Here's some basic info: http://www.goodhousekeeping.com/home/green-living/recycling-symbols-plastics-460321

Not that we noticed. We've only used it a couple of times but we didn't notice any order. We did use a mattress cover.

I don't think that they include any. It's pretty simple. You place the mattress on the surface that you want it to end up on, take the plastic wrap off and it unfolds and plumps up.

I read that they are BPA/PVC free but I would double check the company's website to confirm.

Not that I've seen. They include this weird Velcro sheet. I use a muslin as an extra cover for it and tuck it under the mattress and it works great. Only way I could get my newborn out of our bed was with this cosleeper, she wouldn't sleep in the bassinet

I don't think so, it appears to be solid PVC, not rigid, but not soft like foam-filled either. We really like it.

It doesn't say on the actual ball. We don't believe it's PVC, it feels more rubbery. I don't still have the box it came in.

We went with Naturepedic Organic Cotton Portacrib Mattress. The filling is organic cotton. The waterproof lining is polyethylene, rather than PVC. The fit to the DaVinci crib is perfect.

The most outer layer of the mattress is vinyl. You should check out this page (see below what they say about this specific mattress) and you can follow their suggestions on better options https://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=10150355883242799 As an example, top-selling Sealy Baby Firm Crib Mattress uses a vinyl cover, coated with proprietary antibacterial STAPH-GARD. Despite stating on their website that their product "does not contain any harmful chemicals" and "does not contain toxic fire retardants," they refused to provide information about how they meet flammability standards or clarify what chemicals make up STAPH-GARD. Vinyl manufacturing requires use of toxic chemicals, and chemicals must be added to vinyl to make it flexible.

I'm not 100% certain, however, I do know it's Vinyl, PVC & Phthalate free. Hope that helps.
