I've always tried to treat my bedroom as a sleep sanctuary and have taken great pains to make sure that the lighting (or lack thereof), linens, mattress and pillows are all conducive to a great night's rest.  Any time you spend 1/3 of your life doing something, you should enjoy it, right?

Sleep is such a recooperative process and denying yourself a good night's rest is only going to cause more problems down the road.  The one thing I never understood though is why children shouldn't be afforded that same level of luxury when it comes to their bedding and linens.

Naturepedic is the first and only mattress company to specialize exclusively in the design and manufacturing of infant and children's mattresses that promote natural and organic materials, a non-toxic design, fire-safety, and baby health.  All Naturepedic natural and organic mattresses have been designed with the help of pediatricians, orthopedic specialists, chemists, and engineers.  I recently had the chance to review a 100% organic cotton quilted mattress topper for Riley's twin-sized bed.  Keep reading to learn much more!

The Naturepedic Quilted Mattress Topper features two layers of luxurious organic cotton fabric with a comfortable layer of PLA batting in the center. PLA is a plant derived fiber made primarily from corn that offers excellent absorption and washability.  The Naturepedic Mattress Topper meets the strictest GREENGUARD certification standards for eliminating chemical emissions, which makes this quilted mattress topper an excellent choice for children seeking a more plush sleep surface.

Features:

• Luxurious organic cotton fabric - top and bottom.
• Organic Cotton is an ideal material that is both natural and renewable.  It is a healthier alternative to synthetic fibers such as polyester and rayon.
• PLA filling for excellent washability that performs particularly well after repeated washings while providing a comfortable resiliency.
• Highly absorptive and extra soft.
• Provides a softer more mature sleep surface for your toddler or older child.
• Helps reduce uneven temperatures, sweating, and clamminess.
• Safe hypoallergenic design free from harmful chemicals.
• Standard twin size with straps (38" x 75"). Machine wash & dry.
• Made in the U.S.A.  :usa:

I was thrilled when the Organic Cotton Quilted Mattress Topper arrived for Riley's bed.  As a parent, I always strive to provide the best for my daughter and the Naturepedic Twin Mattress Topper definitely qualifies as a premium bedding product.  Because Riley is still so young and has bedwetting accidents from time to time, I had to leave her waterproof mattress cover on in order to protect her mattress, but the Naturepedic Quilted Mattress Topper went on easily over that.

I love how Riley's bed seems softer with the Naturepedic topper and she doesn't wake up as sweaty during the summer months as she has in the past, thanks to the breathability of the organic cotton fabric.

Of course, the biggest boon to using the Naturepedic Mattress Topper is knowing that Riley is spending 1/3 of her life against a natural, organic material that's free from harmful chemicals.  If you'd like to make sure your child has sweet dreams and a peaceful night's sleep every night, then be sure to outfit their beds with a Naturepedic Organic Cotton Quilted Mattress Topper!
