Naturepedic’s No-Compromise Organic Cotton Crib Mattress Review

Before my son was born, I was obsessed with putting together the safest crib, since babies spend most of their first year sleeping. In fact, over 70% of a baby’s first year is spent sleeping and playing on a mattress, and I wanted to get my son the safest crib mattress. I bought organic sheets, made sure there was no loose bedding or bumpers in his crib, and of course, made sure that the crib mattress was the best. This is why our son sleeps on the Naturepedic No Compromise Organic Cotton 252 Crib Mattress.

Naturepedic makes a totally organic, safe, firm crib mattress that is perfect for your baby. The Naturepedic No Compromise Organic Mattress (Cotton Classic 252 Crib Mattress), is made in the USA and is constructed of certified organic materials and fillers, and really is comparable to a luxury adult mattress. Made with 252 orthopedic innerspring coils, this organic mattress is appropriately firm, as recommended for babies to reduce the risk of SIDS.

When I first became pregnant and joined a local mommy group, this was our dream mattress. We weren’t sure if it was worth the extra money, as other mattresses were more affordable, but they seemed so flimsy and were made with lesser quality materials. Because of how much time babies slept in their first year of life, we decided this was worth researching and we started to compare different mattresses. Naturepedic kindly sent us one to review for our group project, and it is without a doubt worth every penny. There is one of many reasons the Naturepedic No Compromise Organic Mattress is more expensive than other mattresses.

The Naturepedic Organic crib mattress will go the extra mile. It will last for all your children, it is sturdy, waterproof (it’s been tested in the last six months, but not intentionally, lol), stain resistant, and very easy to clean. It’s designed to provide a healthy sleep environment, and for this reason is made with non-toxic fire protection, and the organic cotton surface is coated with 100% polyethylene (not PVC- which for some reason is everywhere these days in baby products, despite being considered a hazardous material). The filling is certified organic cotton- unbleached, untreated while it is grown, harvested, and turned into these fabulous mattresses. No chemicals, pesticides, hazardous materials were ever used in the production of Naturepedic No Compromise mattresses. It is available in two styles, traditional and seamless, with no entry points for moisture or dust mites, for an even more hygienic design. We proudly use it for our crib, and when it’s time for little man to graduate to a toddler bed, this crib mattress will fit a toddler bed as well.

If you have a convertible crib, Naturepedic’s No Compromise crib mattress will serve as a fabulous toddler mattress for your baby’s first bed. Also comes in an optional dual firmness mattress, firmer on one side for infants and less firm on the other for a toddler bed, but the regular mattress is so fabulous that it will do a good job for both as well. Despite spills and overnight accidents, I have not had any problems wiping down or cleaning the mattress as a result of the easy to clean premium organic cotton waterproof cover. It looks as good as the first day we saw it. Because this mattress is hypoallergenic, you also don’t really have to worry about your child having problems with allergies that may result from other mattress that become dusty, contain latex or hazardous materials, harbor dust mites, etc. Bassinets or cribs that have polyurethane foam mattresses are a potential fire hazard, lose their shape over time, stain easily, and may let off unpleasing and potentially hazardous fumes, especially in very warm climates.

The mattress and crib you choose for your baby is one of the most important items, and worth spending more one. Like the stroller and car seat, you should research the options and make the best, safest choice you can. The Naturepedic No Compromise Organic Cotton crib mattress is definitely our choice for the safest crib mattress- little man is worth it!

    Wow, this looks so nice… and I have no doubt it's worth the extra money. I bought a cheap one for my daughter's crib and I know it can't be very comfortable. I think for her toddler bed I'm going to look into getting one of these. Thanks so much for sharing – I didn't know Naturepedic had crib mattresses!
