Naturepedic Mattress Review

Performance Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

I have nothing but good things to say about the Naturepedic mattress I sampled (via the company), the Naturepedic 2 in 1 Organic Cotton Ultra, mattress and The No-Compromise™ Organic Waterproof Pad.

However, to help you understand my enthusiasm, let me take you through our experience the last 22 months with a conventional mattress.

A Naturepedic mattress is a good sleep solution for the organic baby in your life.

When we were expecting we registered for one, knowing nothing about the benefits of having an organic crib mattress in the nursery.

My husband and I had every intention of having our child sleep in her crib after we transitioned from her bassinet. Three months turned to eight months and eight months turned to many.

At first getting her to sleep in her crib was hit or miss, but the older she got the more often we missed. Even at nap time, we'd put her to sleep and the minute we tried to lay her down, she'd repel as if there were a sensor in her brain letting her know that she'd been displaced. I knew part of the reason was that she had gotten used to our bed. It was obvious that her mattress was much harder.

I didn't find out how hard my daughter's old mattress was until we received the Naturepedic mattress. I put her new mattress in the crib and laid her old mattress on the floor next to it so I could help soothe her to sleep. I suffered so many aches and pains on the old mattress that I traded it for a few blankets on the floor - no wonder she wouldn't sleep on it.

And as for the Naturepedic mattress, she slept 5 hours alone in her room the first night! And as they say, a good night's sleep was had by all. Now we are still working on sleeping all the way through the night in her room alone, but now that we have this mattress I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Full nights of sleep here I come.

Product Features

The No-Compromise™ Organic Waterproof Pad consists of 100% organic cotton fabric on the outside. On the inside is a DrySleep™ technology, which is a medical grade film that blocks liquids.
The 2 in 1 ORGANIC COTTON ULTRA Baby Crib & Toddler Mattress has two sides. The firmer side is suitable for infants, it is made of waterproof polyethylene, a food grade plastic. The insides are made of 100% organic cotton and treated with a non-toxic fire retardant solution.
The Organic Cotton Flannel Pad is also machine washable and made of two layers of 100% Organic Cotton Flannel. It is much thicker than the other mattress pad cover and a good way to add plushness to the classic waterproof mattress.
100% organic cotton sheets come in white, ivory and flannel in packs of three. They are 250 thread count and made in the USA.

Here's What I Like about Naturepedic

You have many price points and options.

Depending on your budget and preference, you can go without the quilting and No Comprise Organic Cotton Classic mattress. This saves you about $140. You can enhance the softness (if desired) by pairing it with the Organic Cotton Flannel Pad.

If you're not quite ready to invest in an organic crib mattress, you can opt for the Organic Cotton Flannel mattress pad and pair it with the organic sheets to create a nice barrier between your baby and a conventional crib mattress.

Naturepedic mattress cover is an organic solution for any mattress.

All of the products are nice and soft - like organic cotton should be.
All of the products are free of added fire retardants, phthalates, vinyl/PVC and latex.

Naturepedic mattresses meets all Federal and State flammability standards without the use of potentially harmful chemicals.
With the right crib, the Naturepedic mattress can be used through the toddler years.

Each model has a dual firmness feature. The firmer side is suitable for newborns and the softer side is suitable for toddlers.
You can try it risk-free.

Naturepedic has a 30 day money back guarantee on their mattress along with a lifetime limited warranty on crib mattress.

Dislikes:

I honestly can't think of anything. As I mentioned above they have products that can be mixed and match for various budgets.
More color varieties in the organic crib sheets would be nice.

Recommendations:

If you are on the hunt for an organic crib mattress solution, I recommend going beyond price and comparing the features this company's offers to any other brands on your list. They effectively combine safety, comfort, durability, and functionality into a product I'm able to recommend.
