The leading GOTS-certified organic mattress manufacturer is honored by JPMA for supporting safe products and protecting babies and families.

CHAGRIN FALLS, Ohio, Jan. 17, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- As part of a new initiative, the Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association (JPMA), the voice of the industry on quality and safety for baby and children's products in North America, recognized Naturepedic, leader of the organic mattress industry with the Core Values Best In Class Honorable Mention. The award was given for upholding their industry's Core Values when manufacturing baby and children's products.

Naturepedic celebrates this latest accolade of acknowledgment of the brand's long-time commitment to protect the lives of families through safer, healthier organic-based products that positively impact the environment.

"As pioneers of the organic mattress industry, we strive to maintain our best-in-class standards, which we have upheld since we established them the day we founded Naturepedic 20 years ago," said Barry Cik, Board-Certified Environmental Engineer and Founder of Naturepedic. Cik added, "Yet, there's something very special about having your peers recognize your efforts to provide the safer environment that parents, caregivers, babies, and young children deserve. It's gratifying to receive this recognition from JPMA."

Naturepedic's accomplishments have been consistent through the years. In 2022, the organic mattress manufacturer was awarded the Real Leaders®️ Eco Innovation Award distinction for its Organic, Non-Toxic Bedding for Infants and its consistent work with environmental organizations to advocate for eliminating toxic chemicals from consumer products and the environment. They also joined the nonprofit Health Product Declaration® (HPD) Collaborative to empower product manufacturers and AECO (Architecture, Engineering, Construction, and Operation) practitioners with easy access to detailed information about product materials used by the public. Additionally, they were the first certified non-food organic product to complete the Organic Fraud Prevention Plan for the Organic Trade Association.

All Naturepedic mattress products for babies, kids, and adults are GOTS-certified organic and certified non-toxic by MADE SAFE®. In fact, Naturepedic was the first mattress manufacturer to earn a MADE SAFE certification.
