An Environmental Engineer’s Answer to the Chemical Mattress
In 2003, Barry A. Cik—an environmental engineer with decades of experience in pollution prevention—started looking into what was actually inside the mattresses his grandchildren were sleeping on. What he found alarmed him. Polyurethane foam made from petroleum. Chemical flame retardants linked to developmental and health concerns. Vinyl surfaces containing phthalates. An industry that had normalized filling the one product people spend a third of their lives on with materials that no informed engineer would consider safe. So he built something better.
Working from Chagrin Falls, Ohio, Cik founded Naturepedic with a simple but radical premise: replace every questionable material in a mattress with a certified organic alternative, and prove that you don’t have to sacrifice comfort for safety. He started with organic crib mattresses—because babies are the most vulnerable—and expanded into a full line of adult mattresses, toppers, pillows, and bedding. Every product is built in their own American factory and certified to the strictest organic and safety standards in the world: GOTS, GOLS, GREENGUARD Gold, and MADE SAFE.
Today, Naturepedic is the most certified organic mattress brand on the market. Their EOS collection lets you customize each side of the bed independently. Their Halcyon luxury line delivers five-star hotel comfort with certified organic materials. And every model—from their crib mattresses to their king-sized beds—is built without a single gram of polyurethane foam. At Braden’s, we carry the full Naturepedic lineup because we believe the mattress you sleep on every night should be one you can trust completely. Come try them in our Knoxville showroom and feel the difference organic makes.
What Makes a Naturepedic Mattress Different
Naturepedic didn’t just swap out one or two materials and call it organic. They rebuilt the mattress from the ground up—replacing every conventional component with a certified organic or plant-based alternative. Here’s what that means in practice.
Certified Organic Materials
Every Naturepedic mattress is built from the ground up with certified organic materials. The cotton is GOTS-certified organic. The wool is GOTS-certified organic. The latex is GOLS-certified organic, available in both Dunlop and Talalay varieties. Even the plant-based PLA fiber used for cushioning is derived from non-GMO sugarcane. Naturepedic doesn’t just use organic materials where it’s convenient—they’ve replaced every conventional component with a certified organic or plant-based alternative, and every step of the supply chain is third-party verified.
No Harmful Chemicals
Naturepedic eliminates the materials that make conventional mattresses a chemical concern. There is no polyurethane foam—the petroleum-based material found in nearly every other mattress on the market. No chemical flame retardants, no vinyl, no phthalates, no formaldehyde, no pesticides. Instead of engineering around toxic materials with barriers and wraps, Naturepedic simply doesn’t use them. The result is a mattress that meets flammability standards naturally, through the inherent fire resistance of organic wool, without adding a single chemical treatment.
Customizable Comfort
Naturepedic’s EOS system lets you customize each side of the mattress independently. Swap internal latex layers to dial in exactly the firmness you want—without compromising on organic materials or construction quality. It’s a modular design that means you and your partner can each have your ideal sleep surface in the same bed, and you can adjust it over time as your preferences change. No other organic mattress brand offers this level of personalization.

Frequently Asked Questions
What certifications does Naturepedic hold?
Naturepedic is the most certified organic mattress brand on the market. Their mattresses carry GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) certification for the finished product, GOLS (Global Organic Latex Standard) certification for the latex, GREENGUARD Gold certification for low chemical emissions, and MADE SAFE certification verifying the absence of known harmful substances. They also use UL/GREENGUARD certified components and FSC-certified wood where applicable. These aren’t marketing claims—they’re third-party verified certifications with annual audits and supply chain traceability.
What materials are Naturepedic mattresses made from?
Naturepedic mattresses are built with organic cotton, organic wool, organic latex (both Dunlop and Talalay), plant-based PLA fiber derived from sugarcane, and encased coil support systems. What’s notably absent is just as important: no polyurethane foam, no memory foam, no chemical flame retardants, no vinyl, no phthalates, and no formaldehyde. Every material is chosen to be safe and certified, so you’re never sleeping on questionable chemicals—even ones hidden inside the mattress where you can’t see them.
Why does organic matter in a mattress?
You spend roughly a third of your life in direct contact with your mattress, breathing in whatever it off-gasses. Conventional mattresses are built primarily from polyurethane foam—a petroleum-based material that can release volatile organic compounds (VOCs)—and treated with chemical flame retardants that have been linked to health concerns. An organic mattress eliminates these materials entirely. Naturepedic’s founder, Barry Cik, is an environmental engineer who started the company in 2003 specifically because he was alarmed by what he found inside conventional mattresses. The organic certification ensures the materials are grown without pesticides, processed without harmful chemicals, and verified by independent third parties at every stage.
