Only Naturepedic baby crib mattresses feature a patented food-grade waterproof surface made from non-GMO sugarcane. Most crib mattresses today use questionable materials such as Vinyl/PVC, PFAS or are not waterproof at all! A waterproof surface is the first step towards a healthy and hygienic sleep environment and is essential for preventing urine, spit-up and other messes from penetrating inside the mattress. Once inside, these fluids can wreak havoc, growing a garden of mold, bacteria and other microbials (we love gardens, but not this kind).
We even incorporate waterproofing in our popular breathable models to ensure the insides stay clean and sanitary. After all, mold and bacteria are the last things you want your baby breathing night after night.
organic cotton fabric, waterproofed!
We start with a certified organic cotton fabric, then melt a clear food-grade waterproof coating on top. The coating is embossed with a unique micro-pattern for a luxurious finish. No glues or adhesives are used in the process whatsoever. The resulting fabric is impenetrable to all types of fluids and messes for total protection. The waterproof surface is so pure, it actually meets food contact standards.
don't let a simple accident ruin your day
easily wipes clean
Keeping your baby's crib clean and hygienic shouldn't be hard work. While mattress pads are always a good idea, there are times when they're soiled, in the wash or just not available. In these cases, you can always put your baby back to sleep with just a sheet.
The waterproof surface wipes clean with a wet cloth or paper towel. We recommend a mild soap or some hydrogen peroxide to help sanitize the surface. With Naturepedic, your crib mattress can always be cleaned.
made from non-GMO sugarcane
Using the latest green technology, Naturepedic has found a way to make its waterproof surface out of sugarcane. Through a unique process, the sugars are naturally fermentated by various yeasts into ethanol, which is then used to create a recyclable LDPE bioplastic that's flexible and fully waterproof. Naturepedic goes out of its way to ensure that the sugarcane is non-GMO.
