Organic Cotton Organic cotton is the purest form of cotton, grown without toxins, synthetic pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, or GMO’s (genetically modified organisms). Organic cotton farmers have developed creative ways to grow cotton without these chemicals. This is accomplished by the use of natural fertilizers, beneficial insects, and innovative weeding techniques. In crib mattresses, organic cotton is a healthier alternative to foams (which are chemically treated) and latex (which is allergy-prone). All Naturepedic organic cotton mattresses feature 100% U.S. grown cotton and provide a healthy and comfortable sleep environment. The organic cotton filling used by Naturepedic is certified by the Texas Department of Agriculture. The certification standard includes: NO synthetic pesticides NO synthetic fertilizers NO genetically modified organisms NO carcinogenic, mutagenic, teratogenic chemicals NO endocrine disruptors NO non-biodegradable detergents, degreasers, or surfactants NO chlorine bleach NO plastisols NO other synthetic chemicals
