Our Curated Selection
Every brand we carry has been held to
the same standard we taught you.
We don't carry brands for the margin. We carry them because we can stand behind what's inside them. Here's how Naturepedic and Aireloom by Kluft measure against the framework — honestly, completely, without spin.
How we evaluate
We measure every brand against five dimensions: certifications, materials, flame safety, transparency, and manufacturing integrity — the same criteria in our buying guide.
Brand 01 — Naturepedic
2003
✓ Most Certified
Naturepedic
Founded by a Board Certified Environmental Engineer who couldn't find a safe crib mattress for his grandchild.
Founded in 2003 in Chagrin Falls, Ohio, Naturepedic is the most certified mattress brand in the industry — and the only mattress manufacturer to have earned EWG VERIFIED® certification, the Environmental Working Group's strictest consumer health standard. Every mattress is made without polyurethane foam, vinyl, PFAS, chemical flame retardants, or toxic adhesives. Their entire factory — not just the products — holds GOTS certification.

How Naturepedic scores against our buying guide criteria

★★★
100% natural latex, organic cotton & wool, PLA. Zero polyurethane foam in any form
Flame Safety

Naturepedic is the right choice when…
✓
Certifications are non-negotiable. If you want every component verified by an independent third party, Naturepedic is the clear standard-setter.
✓
You're buying for children or infants. The brand started as a crib mattress company and is the most scrutinized in the children's sleep category.
✓
Chemical sensitivity or health-driven purchases. EWG Verified and MADE SAFE are the certifications most trusted by doctors and environmental health researchers.
✓
You want customizable firmness. The EOS line allows layer-by-layer firmness configuration — on each side independently.
What to know going in
→
The organic focus means the design aesthetic is intentionally clean and functional — not opulent or deeply cushioned in the traditional luxury sense.
→
Natural latex has a distinct feel — buoyant and responsive rather than conforming. It's different from foam. Most people love it; some need adjustment time.
→
Some newer expanded lines use PLA and natural latex rather than GOLS-certified latex in every model — something Naturepedic is transparent about.
Our take: Naturepedic is the answer when the question is "what is the safest mattress available." No other brand in our showroom — or the broader market — carries this level of verified, third-party certification on every component.
Brand 02 — Aireloom by Kluft
1940
✦ Handcrafted Luxury
Aireloom
by Kluft
Founded by a master furniture maker in Alhambra, California. Handcrafted, by feel, since 1940.
Aireloom was founded by King Karpen — who was nearly blind — and whose only quality measure was the touch of his hands. Over 80 years later, the brand still builds its mattresses by hand in California, using luxury natural fibers sourced from around the world: Joma® wool, cashmere, alpaca, horsehair, silk, and TerraPur™ latex. The Karpen Natural and Karpen Luxury collections represent the brand's cleanest material profile.

Certifications & standards
~
CertiPUR-US — Foams only
Foam components meet CertiPUR standards for low-VOC content. Does not cover natural fiber layers, covers, or flame barriers.
✓
Oeko-Tex Standard 100 — Entire mattress & factory
Confirms the complete mattress and the manufacturing facility meet Oeko-Tex pollutant and emission limits. Not an organic certification.
✓
Natural material sourcing — verified
Joma® wool, Talalay latex, cashmere, silk, horsehair, and alpaca are genuine natural-origin materials — not synthetic substitutes.
✓
U.S. handcrafted — all three facilities
Manufactured in California and Pennsylvania. No overseas production of finished mattresses.
—
GOTS / GOLS / MADE SAFE — Not certified
Aireloom does not currently hold organic textile or latex certifications. The luxury positioning is craft and material quality, not organic traceability.
The Karpen Natural and Karpen Luxury collections represent Aireloom's cleanest material profile. Some other Aireloom lines include foam-forward construction — we stock the natural collections.
Luxury Natural Fibers
Joma® Wool
Proprietary luxury wool source. Naturally temperature-regulating, resilient, and inherently flame-resistant without chemical treatment.
Cashmere & Silk
World-class natural comfort layers offering unmatched surface softness and moisture management.
Alpaca & Horsehair
Hypoallergenic, naturally fire-resistant, and exceptionally durable. Found in upper-tier Karpen collections.
Core & Support
TerraPur™ Natural Latex
Aireloom's proprietary natural latex — hypoallergenic, breathable, and responsive without synthetic additives.
Talalay Latex (Karpen Luxury)
Air-processed for exceptional pressure relief and breathability. Used in the Karpen Luxury collection.
Pocketed Coil Systems
Individually wrapped Marshall coils for independent support and motion isolation. Tempered steel — no chemical additives.
Be Aware
Some lines contain foam
The Preferred, Aspire, and Pacific Palisades collections use CertiPUR-certified foam layers. We carry Karpen Natural and Karpen Luxury.
No organic certifications
Natural ≠ certified organic. Aireloom's materials are genuinely natural but not GOTS or GOLS verified for chain-of-custody traceability.
Rayon & Tencel cover fabrics
Semi-synthetic fabrics derived from natural cellulose. Lower chemical risk than polyester but not organically certified.
How Aireloom scores against our buying guide criteria
Certifications
★★☆
CertiPUR + Oeko-Tex Standard 100 for the entire mattress and factory. No GOTS, GOLS, or MADE SAFE — the bar is craft quality, not organic traceability
Materials
★★★
Genuinely luxury natural fibers — wool, cashmere, silk, natural latex. Karpen collections avoid polyurethane foam.
Flame Safety
★★★
Natural wool serves as the primary flame barrier. No fiberglass. No chemical flame retardants in Karpen collections.
Transparency
★★☆
Material quality is real and layer-by-layer disclosure is available on request via our showroom. Oeko-Tex Standard 100 testing adds independent verification.
Manufacturing
★★★
Handcrafted in the U.S. at three facilities. 80+ year handmaking tradition. No offshore production of finished beds.
Aireloom is the right choice when…
✓
Luxury comfort is the primary driver. Few mattresses in the world combine cashmere, silk, alpaca, and natural latex into a hand-tufted bed. The feel is unmatched.
✓
You want natural materials without needing organic certification. The Karpen collections use genuinely natural, low-chemical materials — just without third-party organic verification.
✓
American craftsmanship matters to you. Handmade, by skilled artisans, in California and Pennsylvania — with a heritage that predates most companies in the industry.
✓
You're a back or stomach sleeper who wants responsive support. The Aireloom Lift™ tufting system and latex-dominant comfort layer provide adaptive, buoyant support rather than deep conforming sink.
What to know going in
→
Aireloom does not hold GOTS, GOLS, or MADE SAFE certification. If third-party organic verification is a requirement, Naturepedic is the right call.
→
Not all Aireloom lines are created equal. The Aspire and Preferred collections include foam-heavy construction. We carry the Karpen Natural and Karpen Luxury lines specifically because they align with our standards.
→
Some customer reviews note softening or sagging in the plush models over time. We recommend firmer configurations or the Karpen Natural for longevity.
Our take: Aireloom is a different kind of answer. It's not the most certified mattress — it's the most crafted one. If you're drawn to natural luxury materials, American handmaking, and a feel that no foam mattress can replicate, the Karpen collections are worth experiencing in our showroom.
