Our Founder

In 2003, Board-Certified Environmental Engineer Barry Cik went crib mattress shopping for his first grandchild but couldn't find a single option made without questionable chemicals, harmful waterproofing, and hazardous flame retardants. He knew his family and families everywhere deserved better — and thus, Naturepedic was born. Barry, along with his sons, Jeff and Jason, still run the business, now offering certified organic mattresses and accessories for babies, kids, adults, and even pets.

Minimized Chemical Exposure

There are 85,000+ synthetic chemicals used in the manufacturing of consumer goods, and only a few have been tested for human health. Unlike conventional mattresses that off-gas endocrine-disrupting phthalates, carcinogenic formaldehyde, and more, Naturepedic says no — for your sake and the Earth’s sake. But, don’t take our word for it. We’re EWG Verified®, certified MADE SAFE®, and GREENGUARD Gold certified, too.

No Flame Retardants or Fiberglass

Flame retardants have been linked to neurological disorders, reproductive problems, and more. And flame barriers like fiberglass? Yikes. Naturepedic meets all government flammability regulations without any chemical flame retardants or barriers. Better materials — and better intentions.

Only Good Things

Naturepedic eliminates polyurethane foam, vinyl, phthalates, and other questionable materials found in conventional mattresses. Instead, we use healthier materials like organic cotton and wool, GOTS-approved latex, FSC® controlled wood, plant-based PLA made from non-GMO sugarcane, and encased coils that we manufacture in-house from recycled steel.

Cleaner Mattress, Cleaner Planet

More than 20 million mattresses end up in landfills across the U.S. each year, leaching toxic chemicals that harm our soil, air, waters, and wildlife. When you sleep on a certified organic mattress and bedding, you’re a part of a much bigger solution tonight and every night, for generations to come.

Committed to Sustainability

We cherish the Earth’s power to heal us, and we pledge to be a part of healing the planet, too. In fact, as a 1% for the Planet® Member, we pledge 1% or more of our annual mattress sales to environmental organizations. We’ve spent decades fighting toxic chemicals alongside our friends from dedicated non-profits and advocacy groups.

MANUFACTURING & QUALITY

Not all mattresses are created equal.

We handcraft ours in our own GOTS-certified organic factory in Chagrin Falls, Ohio to ensure comfort, quality, and sustainability in every stitch. We prioritize material recycling in our factory and our designs, and are working towards being zero waste by 2027.

AMERICAN FARMS & FACTORY

Where your mattress comes from matters just as much as where it’s made.

We trace our organic materials from farm to bed to ensure quality materials every step of the way. That means having close relationships with the families who grow our cotton fill in Texas and the cotton ginners who process it.
