Summer 2021 Editors’ Picks
Celliant
After years of R&D, Hologenix is now able to integrate its flagship Celliant product into pure white fibers. Previously only available in a limited color palette, this new discovery not only allows Celliant-based products to come in a crisp white—it opens up the possibility for more pastel options as well. The bedding industry has embraced Celliant as a valuable addition to performance-driven top-of-bed products. Available in nylon, polyester and recycled polyester fibers, this innovative fiber captures and converts body heat into infrared energy, which helps to increase local circulation, regulate body temperature and promote faster recovery and better sleep. Now with more aesthetic options available, retailers can market Celliant’s unique performance benefits to a wider range of consumers.

Naturepedic
Demonstrating its deep commitment to purely organic materials and sustainable products, Naturepedic recently became one of the first companies to participate in the Organic Trade Association’s (OTA) robust new Organic Fraud Prevention Solutions program. In fact, Naturepedic is the first non-food organic product to complete the program. Developed to help companies comply with a proposed change in USDA organic regulations, the program as well as the regulatory changes will help to strengthen the organic supply chain and oversight of organic systems, reduce organic fraud and safeguard the USDA organic seal. We aren’t at all surprised but we’re certainly pleased to see Naturepedic ahead of the curve and reaffirming its dedication to safe and organic products.
