My naturepedic halcyon mattress is my favorite possession. It's so high quality that it might just last a lifetime.

Yes - I really liked it - but they said it wouldn't be as good with our adjustable base. So we went with naturepedic's luxury line and we really like our choice. :-) We really tried to buy european sleep works though as they are an excellent company.

I’ve had a tuft and needle mattress for about 6 years and liked it. Recently when we moved into our new house, I decided we’d try a Naturepedic mattress (the kind with both coils and latex) and move the Tuft and Needle into the guest room. From what I’ve read, Naturepedic is the only brand (that’s not pure latex and has coils) that is truly non toxic and had the certifications I was looking for like GOTS. Many of the certifications out there, for example CertiPur, are invented by the foam/petroleum industry and there are no actual third party checks on safety. I didn’t buy Avocado because there have been some concerns that they manufacture in the same facility as (and I think they own) a mainstream polyurethane mattress brand, and there have been reports that the quality of avocado cannot be guaranteed do to mixing of materials, intentional or unintentional idk. Check out the Mamavation blog on mattresses for more info. Anyways, a few months after sleeping on Naturepedic, we ended up swapping it out with the Tuft and Needle we had put in the guest room. So back on old Tuft and Needle now, despite the less than perfect VOC/Formaldehyde/etc concerns, because Naturepedic just wasn’t comfortable enough. At least now our guests will enjoy purely non toxic sleeping 🥲

I burn up on our old naturepedic latex mattress even with a wool topper and fully cotton bedding.

I suggest Naturepaedic (firm) or Happsy Organic (more soft - owned by Naturepaedic). Only options I've felt comfortable with once I looked into them.

I'm going to give you a loving side eye 💕 friend, all these things should be only marginally different if at all! They're typically certified by the same organizations soooo... Idk. What does the science based parenting sub say? They're usually really good at finding actual peer-reviewed research 💕 Btw, we have a naturepedic, but only because we needed a full/queen. It smells. It's been, idk, definitely over 6 months, and I still can sometimes smell it on my kid after he wakes up. I'm mildly worried about why would any smell linger for this long, but here we are. (Also, I think I might be in the wrong sub because I probably qualify for a full on granola mom, just based on my recent conversation with another mom irl 🤦‍♀️ so take my comment with this in mind 💕)

2 of my kids have the verse- baby still has the crib mattress. Not sure the name of the Queen my husband and I have but it’s been good. There is a smell when you first unpackage it that lingers a bit. But it’s definitely more of an earthy smell than a toxic one. I personally lean more granola than just moderate and for me the smell didn’t make me anxious as I thought it smelt earthy and more natural than something synthetic and toxic if that makes sense!

I evaluate VOC emissions evaluations of different products in my work every day. At home, we do what we reasonably can when buying new. In this case, jr meant spending a little more on a greenguard gold certified mattress (naturepedic) when my 4 year old needed a new one anyway.

Oster aside, I'm extremely chemically sensitive and I go by my own nose. Naturepedic is the mattress brand I've been able to tolerate the best.
