A leading organic mattress manufacturer for 15 years, Naturepedic was recently awarded the Sustainability Leadership Award in the Business Intelligence Group’s Global 2021 Sustainability Awards program. The annual Sustainability Awards honor the people, teams and organizations who have made sustainability an integral part of their business practice or overall mission.
Naturepedic Boasts A Long Legacy Of Sustainable Business Practice
Since 2003, Naturepedic has been on a mission to protect families through safer, healthier organic-based products that have a positive impact on the environment. To accomplish this, beyond creating certified organic, nontoxic mattresses, Naturepedic is relentlessly pursuing the quest to eliminate the use of toxic chemicals and materials in the environment and everyday products.
“We’re thrilled and honored to be recognized by the Business Intelligence Group as global sustainable leaders,” comments Jason Cik, Director of Regenerative Practices and Co-Founder of Naturepedic.
“At Naturepedic, we work hand-in-hand with various organizations, third-parties and NGOs to garner a 360-degree understanding of the sustainability issues flooding the mattress industry,” adds Cik, “We bring experts in at the very beginning to employ sustainable practices into everything we do. From designing sustainable manufacturing equipment to cut down on waste and energy use, to meeting and exceeding the most stringent, reputable third-party certifications in the marketplace, to participating in environmental advocacy groups, we are committed to working every day for a better tomorrow.”
2021 Marks A Year Of Achievement For Naturepedic

The brand placed #1 in transparency and material safety tests in the investigative, third-party The Mattress Still Matters Report, was named leaders in safer chemical alternatives in Clean Production Action’s Chemical Footprint report, was the first certified non-food organic product to complete the Organic Fraud Prevention Plan for the Organic Trade Association, and has donated over $200,000 to approved nonprofits dedicated to environmental causes through 1% For the Planet. Naturepedic has also partnered with advocacy groups, like the Cancer Free Economy Network and the American Sustainable Business Council, to bring the connection between chemicals and childhood cancer to light.
