By Home Furnishings Business in Green on May 18, 2011 Mattress maker Naturepedic has updated Global Organic Textile Standard certification from Oregon Tilth Certified Organic on all its baby and kids' mattresses.

According to Naturepedic's founder, Barry A. Cik, who also is a board-certified environmental engineer, all Naturepedic mattresses use certified organic cotton fill and certified organic cotton tickings. They also include various approved accessories, such as steel innersprings and food-grade polyethylene.   
 
The organic certification issued under the Global Organic Textile Standard also includes mattress related products such as mattress pads, pillows and sheets.
 
"This certification is important to the parents who are our customers, and to the furniture and bedding retailers who sell our mattresses, because we created this company to provide parents with a safer and healthier alternative," Cik said.
