Is this necessary or one of those "fear purchase" items?

http://www.amazon.com/Best-Ever-Crib-Mattress-Size/dp/B002MBVH98

The Best Day Ever crib mattress cover is designed with an impermeable layer to prevent toxic gasses, allergens and other hazardous chemicals coming from your crib mattress from reaching your baby. What makes the Serendipity Mattress Cover different from other mattress covers? * Unlike typical mattress covers, the Serendipity cover blocks toxic gasses, hazardous chemicals, and allergens in your babies' mattress. * The Serendipity Mattress Cover is made from an engineered pure polymer that contains no additives to leach into your babies sleeping environment. Vinyl and other types of plastic covers contain hazardous chemicals like fire retardants, plasticizers and biocides that can leach out of the cover creating a hazardous environment for your baby.

For reference, we will be using a non-organic crib mattress. I, obviously, have no qualms purchasing if this is something that is absolutely necessary, proven effective, etc. But, also don't want to be scared that if I don't purchase, I am putting my child at risk.

If you let your mattress air out before your lo gets here, the gasses should dissapate.  I wouldnt buy it.

Wow, no I wouldn't buy that. Nice that their sales pitch is meant to scare parents into buying their product. And ditto cowgirltu.

I think there is some truth to what this cover protects against, but I would invest in a quality mattress without chemicals and skip the weird cover!

This is definitely a gimmick, trying to scare you into buying this cover.  What is a pure polymer anyway? Sounds very synthetic and non-descriptive.  Definitely not needed.  Take a look at some non-vinyl mattresses from LA baby and Naturepedic.

No.  Anything that claims 100% SIDS prevention is a crock.
