Consumer Watch:

Beware of manufacturers claiming to have all organic products which do not. They use certificates to try and prove they are organic yet also buy synthetic materials and often use those instead in their products in order to cut costs. Ask any company if they also make a synthetic line.

We worked with Land and Sky, also known as The Natural Bed Store, located in Lincoln, Nebraska in 2008. At that time they sent many foundations and mattresses with Fire Retardant fabrics instead of the organic cotton we provided to them. This caused us, as a truly caring company, to issue a recall and replace all those zip on outers and foundations that used the synthetic fabrics to our customers. Then they proceeded to keep our deposit on our shipment of our mattresses exceeding $50,000. We have talked with customers and these customers have been shipped mattresses with synthetic materials instead of the organic materials they paid for.

Now we manufacture our own line in our commitment to make sure that only organics are used in Pure-Rest Organics lines. We do not make ANY synthetic mattresses at all and ensure that no chemically filled fabrics such as flame retardant flaps find their way to our mattresses.


There are many agencies out there certifying organic products. They all have flaws created by the need for companies to cut costs, and the inability of companies to find an inexpensive mill for various processing.

We have gone to only the purest mills in order to surpass these standards.

GOTS Global Organic Textile Standard creates a standard that allows flame retardant finishes, chlorophenols (PCP), o-Phenylphenole, azo dyes, AOX, Formaldehyde, Glyoxal, Pesticides, antimony, arsenic, lead, cadmium, chromium, cobalt, nickel, mercury and organotin compounds as long as they do not exceed various amounts. The criteria does not meet the need for purity in a product that you are exposed to daily. Such as anything in your home.
