Naturepedic was established by Barry A. Cik, a seasoned environmental engineer with over three decades of experience in chemical analysis. Motivated by the birth of his first grandchild and the lack of non-toxic crib mattresses available, Barry embarked on creating a safer alternative. Shocked to discover the prevalent use of harmful chemicals in crib mattresses, he rejected these options, unwilling to expose his grandchild to such risks.
Unable to find an organic mattress that met his standards—particularly one that was waterproof to prevent mold and mildew—Barry, alongside his two sons, founded Naturepedic. They pioneered the first organic baby crib mattress featuring a patented waterproof surface made from non-GMO sugarcane. Over time, Naturepedic has expanded its product line to include organic mattresses for children and luxury versions for adults.
Today, Naturepedic boasts an extensive network of retail locations and Organic Mattress Galleries both domestically and internationally. The company continues to innovate while staying true to its core mission of offering safer, healthier sleep solutions, combining economic viability with environmental responsibility.
