We believe we are all interconnected with the natural world. That’s why Naturepedic commits to using our influence as an industry leader to support and nourish that world. As a manufacturer, we pledge to protect the environment through the:
Materials we source
Products we create
Business practices we use
Naturepedic is equally committed to protecting the personal sleep environment of our customers by producing products specifically designed to reduce exposure to harmful chemicals and to foster better indoor air quality. We pride ourself on being one of the world's healthiest and most sustainable sleep brands.
Our “Caring for the Environment Inside and Out” Program
To uphold our environmental commitment, Naturepedic implemented our “Caring for the Environment Inside and Out” program. This initiative focuses on protecting both the sleep environment inside of our homes and the larger environment outside in our living planet. The program includes:
Organic Materials Sourcing
Naturepedic sources certified organic materials to reduce the environmental impact of synthetic pesticides and fertilizers. For example, we purchase only organic cotton fabrics certified to the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS). This avoids the environmental devastation caused by the chlorine bleaching and toxic dyes frequently found in conventional fabrics.
Similarly, our latex is always Global Organic Latex Standard (GOLS) certified or Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC®) certified. Naturepedic cares about protecting the earth’s delicate rain forest areas and the people living and working in these regions.
Vigilant Testing and Standards
We constantly evaluate our materials for environmental impact and health risks. We avoid toxic chemicals like flame retardants, phthalates and formaldehyde and do not use adhesives in any of our mattresses. Naturepedic supports third-party testing protocols and evaluations including GOTS, Organic Content Standard (OCS) and MADE SAFE®, as well as independent laboratory tests. In 2024, we became the first brand to meet the EWG VERIFIED®: Mattresses standard.
In 2021, Naturepedic became the first mattress manufacturer (and the first non-food organic business in general) to complete the Organic Trade Association’s Organic Fraud Prevention Solutions program. This rigorous program includes assembling a fraud prevention team, completing online trainings, creating a vulnerability assessment, outlining mitigation strategies and assembling a strong fraud prevention plan.
The Organic Fraud Prevention Solutions program is voluntary, and Naturepedic encourages the entire organic mattress industry to join the effort.
We’ve also implemented a range of internal programs to ensure we:
Fit into a circular system
Reduce energy use
Increase renewable energy use
Use recycled content in supply chains
Support biodiversity
Advocate for social causes

At Naturepedic, we value transparency and we aim to always hold ourselves accountable to the promises we make – both to people and planet. That’s why we publicly release reports that show our progress.
Naturepedic's mission includes a strong focus on environmental sustainability. From responsibly sourcing natural and certified organic materials to becoming the first mattress manufacturer ever to earn the EWG VERIFIED® distinction to implementing a packaging system that helps keep 55,000 pounds of single-use plastic out of landfills each year, we are continuously working to improve. Plus, as a 1% for the Planet member, we support the environment. When you sleep on a certified organic mattress and bedding, you’re part of a much bigger solution … tonight and every night, for generations to come.

"...very real health concerns that these chemicals raise. That’s why it’s so gratifying to me to see that Naturepedic takes these issues seriously, and has designed and brought to market a truly safe mattress, without flame retardants, phthalates, vinyl and other toxic materials and chemicals to which the simple act of sleeping on a conventional mattress would expose you. BRAVO, Naturepedic!"

Caring for the environment inside and out
Naturepedic is committed to protecting the environment through the materials sourced, products created, and business practices used.
Naturepedic takes a broad view of the word “environment.” On the micro level, Naturepedic commits to protecting the personal sleep environment of its customers by producing products specifically designed to reduce their exposure to harmful chemicals and to foster better indoor air quality. We accomplish this through selection of natural materials, avoidance of toxic chemicals like flame retardants and adhesives, and support of testing protocols including GREENGUARD and independent laboratory tests.
On a macro-level, Naturepedic is committed to protecting the larger environment extending beyond our homes. By constantly evaluating materials for environmental impact, Naturepedic commits to protecting our living planet. Through sourcing of organic materials, Naturepedic reduces the environmental impact of synthetic pesticides and fertilizers. In purchasing certified organic cotton fabrics certified to the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS), Naturepedic avoids the environmental devastation caused by the chlorine bleaching and toxic dyes frequently found in conventional fabrics. By only using latex from sources certified to the Global Organic Latex Standard (GOLS) or Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC®), Naturepedic protects the earth’s delicate rain forest areas and the people living and working in these regions.
We believe we are all interconnected with the natural world. We commit to using our influence as an industry leader to support and nourish that world.
