Whether you are have a new baby, a toddler or older children it is important to be sure their sleeping environment is a healthy one.

Naturepedic is a company who realizes the importance of keeping our children safe at bedtime and has made it their passion to offer their customers only the best, high quality, organic sleep products!

About Naturepedic:
(from their site)

Naturepedic was founded by Barry A Cik, a quarter century veteran in the field of environmental engineering. In anticipation of his first grandchild, Barry went searching for a suitable baby crib mattress. Sadly, he found all of the crib mattress offerings completely unacceptable and was in shock at the state of the industry. "I knew all about vinyl/PVC, polyurethane foam, and the various chemicals contained in them and there was no way I was going to put my grandchild to sleep within a few inches of these chemicals."

Barry then set out to find a suitable organic baby crib mattress. "All of the organic baby crib mattresses on the market contained either latex, wool, or both, and were not waterproof... if the mattress were to get wet, it would grow mold and fungus without any effective way to clean it. The wool/latex issue left a lot to be desired considering their known allergenic properties." According to Barry, "the organic baby mattresses were nothing more than miniaturized adult mattresses, which made little sense for babies."

Barry, together with his two sons, set out to found Naturepedic, an organic and non-toxic baby crib mattress company dedicated to providing parents with a better alternative - the first and only waterproof organic baby crib mattress designed with a safe food grade polyethylene cover, and which eliminates the potentially harmful chemicals with which Barry was so familiar.

Today, Naturepedic has a large and growing network of retail outlets across the country and abroad. Due to the success of the No-Compromise™ Organic Baby Crib Mattress, Naturepedic has launched many new models to meet the growing demand for high quality non-toxic baby and children's mattresses and bedding.


My Experience:
I love promoting companies that have a real heart for children, especially children's health. Being a mother to 4 children, I can appreciate this. When I discovered Naturepedic I was impressed with the amount of research and care that goes into each and every one of their products! Naturepedic products are regularly tested for chemical emissions and are certified by GREENGUARD to meet their strict standards for children. Naturepedic carries the most awards and endorsements of any children’s mattress company! That's impressive!

Naturepedic's Organic Cotton:
(information from Naturepedic)
Organic cotton is the purest form of cotton, grown without toxins, synthetic pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, or GMO’s (genetically modified organisms). Organic cotton farmers have developed creative ways to grow cotton without these chemicals. This is accomplished by the use of natural fertilizers, beneficial insects, and innovative weeding techniques. The organic cotton filling used by Naturepedic is certified by the Texas Department of Agriculture.

The certification standard includes:

• NO synthetic pesticides
  
• NO synthetic fertilizers
  
• NO genetically modified organisms
• NO carcinogenic, mutagenic, teratogenic chemicals
  
• NO endocrine disruptors
  
• NO non-biodegradable detergents, degreasers, or surfactants
  
• NO chlorine bleach
  
• NO plastisols

Although my daughter's mattress is not organic (oh, how I wish it were!) I feel good that a nice thick organic mattress topper is protecting her from anything that make creep through. My desire would be to have a completely natural and healthy sleep environment for every member of my family, but until then I feel blessed to have had the opportunity to try out one of the great Naturepedic products!
