Customer Reviews

seriously fabulous crib mattress
My daughter slept better on this mattress the very first time that we put her down on it (and that's saying something, since she didn't want to sleep anywhere else but between us on our king size bed). It's been about 11 months since then, and she sleeps fabulously on this mattress. I can't recommend it highly enough.

I appreciate that it's organic - and that there are no harmful chemicals - and that it is still fire-resistant.

I think the coil system is far more comfortable than the foam (which she had before) - and it still provides extremely firm support.

It's pricey, yes, but the return to civilized life (a.k.a. when she started sleeping through the night) was worth just about any price.

I'm now about to buy a second one for my next baby!

best choice
As a first time mom of twins I agonized over this decision and researched extensively. I think this is the best choice-this is made of high quality, safe, hypoallergenic components, is backed by scientific evaluation, is very well made, and is made in the US. It is more expensive than the average baby mattress but will last through toddler. I would avoid "organics" made of latex or wool, these are probably worse than the toxic standard baby mattress.

Really wanted to like this.. but don't..
It was important to me to get an organic mattress for my baby as I didn't want him inhaling fire retardants and other chemicals. Naturepedic seemed to be the perfect option for us. It had everything we wanted at a price that was close to half that of other organic mattresses. Unfortunately, in terms of practical use, it's really not that great. Here are my 3 main problems with it:

1) It's not completely flat (its puffier in the middle) so I have to make sure my baby sleeps halfway down the crib or else his head will be slightly lower than the rest of his body... this is easy with a newborn but with an older, active sleeper it's pretty difficult.

2) It's not breathable at all (I guess I should've known this as it has a plastic cover) so my baby often ends up sweating on the side touching the mattress.

3) The plastic cover is loud! When my baby moves around, the cover actually makes a crinkling type of noise... often disturbing his sleep.. ugh!!

I haven't tried other mattresses so I don't know if these are common problems but I have to say I'm really disappointed with this product and am looking to change it out.
