Naturepedic

Naturepedic makes certified organic mattresses, bedding and furniture for the whole family, sold online and in Naturepedic stores across the United States and Canada. The brand’s selling point is what it leaves out: the company avoids questionable chemicals, harmful waterproofing and hazardous flame retardants, and contrasts its products with conventional mattresses that off-gas chemicals. Adult options range from simple hybrid designs to fully customizable split kings, and the line also covers babies, children and even pets.

The company traces its start to 2003, when Barry Cik, a board-certified environmental engineer, went shopping for a crib mattress for his first grandchild and could not find one made without questionable chemicals. He built the business around that gap and still runs it with his sons, Jeff and Jason. Materials are certified organic and responsibly sourced, and the brand leans on third-party certifications and transparency about how its products are made.
