Quick Specs
$89 for organic protection that blocks mattress microplastics — vs. vinyl mattress covers that off-gas phthalates and degrade into plastic particles directly under your sheets.
Why it's safe for your family
- No vinyl or PVC — standard waterproof mattress protectors use vinyl (PVC), which contains phthalates and chlorine. Naturepedic uses food-grade polyethylene instead.
- Organic cotton surface — the sleep-facing side is GOTS-certified organic cotton, so your skin contacts only natural fiber, not synthetic material.
- Blocks mattress microplastics — acts as a barrier between you and the foam/synthetic materials inside your mattress that shed microplastic fibers.
- MADE SAFE certified — independently screened for over 6,000 known toxic substances including flame retardants, heavy metals, and endocrine disruptors.
What to avoid instead
Most waterproof mattress protectors use vinyl (PVC) or polyurethane coatings. Vinyl off-gases phthalates — chemicals linked to hormone disruption — and degrades over time into microplastic particles directly under your sheets.
Studies show that polyurethane foam mattresses can release volatile organic compounds and microplastic fibers into your sleep environment. A mattress protector that itself contains vinyl adds to the problem rather than solving it. Naturepedic's food-grade polyethylene barrier blocks mattress emissions without introducing new contaminants.
