 May
17, 2011 - With receipt of the recent updated Global
Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) certificate from Oregon
Tilth Certified Organic (OTCO) on all current models of
Naturepedic’s baby and kids’ mattresses, the company
moves forward as the leader in marketing healthy
mattresses for babies and children. According to
Naturepedic’s founder, Barry A. Cik, who is also a Board
Certified Environmental Engineer, all Naturepedic
mattresses use certified organic cotton fill and
certified organic cotton tickings. They also include
various approved accessories, e.g. steel innersprings
and food-grade polyethylene.
The organic certification issued under the Global
Organic Textile Standard also includes mattress related
products such as mattress pads, pillows and sheets.
“This certification is important to the parents who
are our customers, and to the furniture and bedding
retailers who sell our mattresses, because we created
this company to provide parents with a safer and
healthier alternative,” states Cik.
Naturepedic manufactures a full line of mattresses,
whether for infants in bassinets or cribs, or for older
children in twins and larger sizes.
Naturepedic has also received awards, certifications,
and approvals from GREENGUARD; Healthy Child Healthy
World; Green America; Organic Exchange, Washington
Toxics Coalition, and Naturepedic is the first Level III
mattress manufacturer of the Specialty Sleep Association
Environmental & Safety Program. All Naturepedic products
are made in the USA.
