When shopping for a mattress, the level of comfort is probably what most of us think of first. But, there’s more to consider in a mattress than just comfort. Take, for example, the Naturepedic 2 in 1 Organic Cotton Ultra/Quilted Kids’ Mattress.

I had the pleasure of receiving Naturepedic’s EOS Series mattress to review a few months ago, and have been enjoying a #SafeHealthySleep ever since. Going Mom and I loved the EOS so much that we felt a bit guilty we didn’t have such a high quality mattress for Avery.

We had an organic crib mattress, but it was time to transition from the crib which meant we needed a bigger and “bedder” mattress. Turns out, the kind folks at Naturepedic liked me enough to work allow me the opportunity to review one of their kids’ versions, the 2 in 1 Organic Cotton Ultra/Quilted Mattress.

Excitement beamed from Avery’s face when we told her about her new big girl bed, and we matched her happy face from the comfort in knowing she’d be getting a superior organic cotton mattress. Their organic cotton is much healthier than the synthetic fabrics and foams commonly found in other mattresses. It’s also made without flame retardants and questionable chemicals like vinyl/PVC, phthalates, perfluorinated compounds (PFCs), and formaldehyde. It’s ultra clean, ultra pure, and free from allergens like wool and latex.

With a host of certifications and awards like being certified by the OTCO to the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) and meeting the GREENGUARD Gold Certification standard, Naturepedic leaves nothing to worry about when bringing their products into your home. Even the packaging from delivery produces no off-gassing, vapors, or chemicals. An important aspect to consider when you have excited tots waiting to give it a warm welcome.

Just like she did upon the arrival of our EOS Series Organic Mattress. But now she was hugging her very own big girl mattress, which she made certain to let us know……a lot.

The 2 in 1 Organic Cotton Ultra is a versatile mattress that is made to last many years as your child grows from a tiny tot to a big kid. It looks good too!

On the top, the mattress features an organic cotton waterproof fabric that’s easy to clean and so pure it even meets food contact standards. When your child is in potty training mode (or you’re just not that sure yet), the waterproof side is the perfect choice!

On the bottom side, you’ll find a luxuriously quilted organic cotton fabric that’s perfect for older, “mature” kids. This side is not waterproof, but offers a more comfortable sleeping surface that older kids and adults will appreciate.

From the start, we used the quilted side since Avery was mostly potty trained. The comfort level was evident by the disappearance of my wife most nights of the week following the 2 in 1 Organic Cotton Ultra.

She usually lays down to sing with Avery at bedtime, and would end up dozing off, usually before Avery. This happened on occasion in the past, but it the occurrence increased twofold. Lately, she’s started leaving the room earlier so as to not make it a habit. Thankfully, Avery feels right at home in the Naturepedic 2 in 1 and doesn’t mind sleeping solo. If anything, I’d say she’s rather proud and enjoys the extra room.

And we’re proud of being able to provide a high quality mattress for our precious little girl. Naturepedic’s statement, “Babies and toddlers spend 10-14 hours a day sleeping and playing on a crib mattress. As such, for the first few years of a child’s life, the mattress is the single most prominent object in the child’s environment. “ further supports how happy we are to have their mattresses in our home.

Your child’s, as well as your own, health and safety should be non-negotiable. Naturepedic knows this all too well and follows a list of priorities making them stand out from the rest:

Priority #1: No harmful chemicals.

Priority #2: No allergenic materials.

Priority #3: Natural, organic and renewable materials wherever possible.

Priority #4: Practical design (e.g. easy-to-clean waterproof cover).

Priority #5: Third party independent testing and verification.

Many of us consider of a mattress as just a place to sleep, but a kids’ mattress, as well as an adult’s, is used more than we think. It’s a perfect platform for dancing in your undies….

…..bracing for a tickle attack….

…..doing butt-busters….

……playing hide-and-seek….

…and a place for that collection of stuffed animals we our kids have.

Naturepedic offers a comfortable sleep and play environment for not just our sweetheart, but for us, her parents, who love playing and sleeping with her too. I haven’t had the privilege of spending half the night with Avery (yet), but she did wake up crying early one morning and I laid back down with her for a while. I could’ve easily fallen asleep and had to take back all the times I gave Going Mom grief for dozing off.

Avery still gets excited to sleep in her”Naturepedic bed.” every night, and as you can see from the pictures, it offers plenty of joy no matter the time of day.
