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 striving to deliver 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.
GOTS
Naturepedic organic products meet the stringent organic 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!
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.
Naturepedic is the first brand to achieve the EWG VERIFIED® certification for mattresses – an industry benchmark we are proud to have set. Every mattress in our collection meets the Environmental Working Group’s (EWG) strictest criteria for health and transparency. This means we avoid ingredients flagged as potential health risks, fully disclose any materials we use and follow responsible manufacturing practices.
“Earning the EWG VERIFIED mark isn’t easy. The criteria for our mark are demanding, as anyone familiar with our exacting standards can attest … Having visited the factory where Naturepedic’s products are manufactured with great care, I’m especially thrilled to launch EWG VERIFIED: Mattresses with Barry [Naturepedic Founder and Technical Director].” – Ken Cook, EWG President
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 helps 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
UL/GREENGUARD®
Naturepedic products are all UL Formaldehyde Free validated and certified to the GREENGUARD® Gold standard. UL/GREENGUARD tests for chemical emissions such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs), formaldehyde and other toxic chemicals.

Naturepedic completed the Organic Trade Association (OTA) Organic Fraud Prevention Solutions Program.
