It’s Not Organic Unless It’s Certified Organic.
Bottom line: it’s not organic unless
it’s certified organic.
Our certifications are incredibly important to us – it’s a big part of why you can trust Naturepedic! While we are proud of our certifications, we don't stop there. In many cases, we hold ourselves to a far stricter standard, for example, by including support for sustainable forestry management. When we refer to organic latex, we mean latex that is GOTS approved for use in certified organic mattresses, which includes support for the expansion of our planet's sustainable rubber tree forests while still delivering the healthiest mattresses possible. We’re here to help protect you, and our planet. Because both are irreplaceable! For more information, check out Naturepedic's Non-Toxic Approach.
Our certifications are incredibly important to us – it’s a big part of why you can trust Naturepedic! The truth is that in many cases, we hold ourselves to an even higher standard because we’re taking the lead to rid the sleep industry of harmful chemicals and unsustainable practices. For example, we don’t use any flame retardant chemicals, even when the organic certifications allow it. We’re here to help protect you, and our planet too. Because both are irreplaceable.
GOTS
Naturepedic organic products meet the organic and non-toxic standards of the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS). Recognized by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), GOTS is the world's leading standard for organic non-food products. The GOTS certification includes ecological and social criteria, too, like ethical sourcing and fair worker treatment. Not only are Naturepedic products GOTS certified – our entire factory is, too!
GOLS
Naturepedic uses organic latex that meets the standards of the Global Organic Latex Standard (GOLS) and Oeko-Tex Standard 100 Class 1. GOLS helps ensure that our latex is of organic origin, socially justifiable, environmentally friendly and traceable from the farm where the rubber tree sap was harvested to processing and storage facilities and all the way to Naturepedic’s organic products.
FSC®
Naturepedic also uses latex and wood that meet Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC®) standards. Additionally, the latex meets the Oeko-Tex Standard 100 Class 1. FSC® is a global, not-for-profit organization dedicated to the promotion of responsible forest management worldwide. Our FSC® certified products meet rigorous environmental, social and economic criteria designed to protect lands, ecosystems and workers.

“I sleep on a Naturepedic mattress. It’s what I use, it’s what I use for my kids, and it guarantees that when I’m sleeping my body can detox from all the chemicals and rejuvenate and recharge, and the reason why is because it’s not struggling with fire retardants and pesticides and other chemicals that can make their way into a traditional mattress.”
– Amy Ziff, MADE SAFE® Founder & Executive Director
