Chorus Organic Mattress
Naturepedic is the industry leader in non-toxic sleep, and the Chorus model provides a high-end organic build without the need for assembly. It is one of the few mattresses on the market that is MADE SAFE certified, meaning it is screened for over 6,500 harmful chemicals.
Quality & Materials
Features organic cotton fabric/filling, organic wool batting, and a unique micro-coil layer for pressure relief instead of synthetic foam.
Evidence & Testing
Holds GOTS, GOLS, GREENGUARD Gold, and MADE SAFE certifications. It is also UL Formaldehyde Free verified.
Brand Transparency
Naturepedic is a family-owned business that owns their own GOTS-certified factory in Ohio, ensuring total oversight of production.
Value Assessment
Priced at a premium, but the lack of adhesives and the inclusion of high-quality micro-coils justify the cost for chemically sensitive users.
Why Not Alternatives?
Most 'green' mattresses still use glues to hold coil units together; Naturepedic uses a glueless encasement method. They also avoid PLA (polylactic acid) unless it is strictly non-GMO, whereas cheaper competitors use GMO-corn-derived plastics.
