Sleep is central to a healthy and happy life. Research shows that a good night’s sleep helps the body fight disease and maintain balance with its surroundings, making it one of the most important factors in overall health. A good night’s sleep also affects your relationships and productivity, helping you live life to its fullest. Sleep is a time for our bodies to rejuvenate and heal themselves. Many mattress materials used today contain chemicals that are foreign to our bodies and are quite unnatural. The mainstream approach has been to leverage technology to construct foams and other materials with "improved" comfort characteristics. These new technologies are indeed comfortable, but they come with a price: the introduction of new chemicals into our sleep environment.
Naturepedic was founded by Barry A. Cik, a veteran in the field of environmental engineering with over 30 years of experience chasing chemicals. In anticipation of his first grandchild, Barry went searching for a suitable baby crib mattress. Unfortunately, all the crib mattress he could find were completely unacceptable. Most bedding manufacturers, to his shock, used harmful chemicals and materials in both the assembly process and the final products. “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 tried to find a suitable organic baby crib mattress, but no organic mattress company offered what he was looking for. “All of the organic baby crib mattresses on the market were not waterproof… if the mattress were to get wet, it would grow mold and fungus without any effective way to clean it.
So together with his two sons he founded Naturepedic, a non-toxic and organic mattress manufacturer dedicated to providing parents with a better alternative. They created the first and only waterproof organic baby crib mattress designed with a patented food-grade polyethylene cover, which is made without harmful chemicals and meets food-contact standards.
Naturepedic believes that natural materials are at the core of superior comfort and support. They specialize in the design and manufacturing of high-quality organic mattresses and all-natural bedding for adults and children. Why use chemicals, when Mother Nature provides us with the greatest materials that are actually in harmony with our bodies? Adding harmful chemicals is both unnecessary and unhealthy and that is why Naturepedic exclusively designs and manufactures organic mattresses, mattress pads and toppers, bedding, and more for every member of your family.
