Product Description


From the Manufacturer
A great option for moms looking to offer an organic product but still looking for waterproofing. Our quilted crib mattress pad is made with a surface layer of 100% organically-grow Cotton with an allergy barrier that is a soft knit fabric backed with ultra-thin breathable, waterproof polyurethane membrane. Specially designed patented safety stay-on corners and extra-deep sides keep this mattress pad in place at all times, no matter how thick the mattress. You can never have too many mattress pads, so keep several in your linen closet. It is sized to allow for shrinkage and the full skirt is designed for a snug fit. Machine wash and dry. The OE Blended Standard applies to products that use a blend of organic and non‐organic cotton or other fibers, and contain a minimum of 5% organic cotton. The OE Blended requires that the organic cotton is grown on certified farms and sets criteria for proper handling and tracking of the organic cotton through all steps of textile processing.

Customer Reviews


This product is NOT organic! Why? Because it is NOT made of 100% organic materials! This company appraently wanted to jump on the $$$ ORGANIC BANDWAGON $$$ but didn't particularly care whether their product adhered to organic labeling standards.
Note to organic consumers: always read the product description and, when in doubt, ask questions! Most companies that carry organic goods are of sound integrity. But some are ignorant about organic products, while still others truly intend to deceive the consumer. In the case of this mattress pad, I have to assume the latter, since they labeled their product as "Organic Cotton Waterproof Crib Mattress Pad," when it is clearly not! Yes, the cotton may be 100% organic, but the mattress pad, as a whole is not, as there's no such thing as an organic petro-chemical polyurethane membrane.
There are many in the organic bedding industry who would call this mattress pad toxic!
This type of misleading product description really irriates me. Particularly so, when the product is being peddled for babies. The issue of toxic vs. non-toxic bedding for children is a serious one, and I think this company should be driven out of town on a rail for trying to pull this polyurethane membrane over the eyes of new parents, who simply endeavor to buy organic (non-toxic) bedding for their baby.
For a true 100% organic mattress pad, you'll have to pay double or triple the cost of this pad. It will be made of organic cotton fabric AND organic cotton batting, with zero non-organic components. For an organic waterproof pad, the only choice is one made with organic wool. There are many reputable companies on the internet that offer genuinely organic bedding products for babies and children. The Priva Snoozy people are not among them.

This is a decent organic option and a good value for the price, especially for those of us who strive to live green and organically, but do not have exorbitant budgets on which to make it a reality in our homes!
As some reviewers state, this pad is not 100% organic through and through and, indeed, there is some questionable marketing going on with this product. And while, as these negative reviewers state, there are other totally organic mattress pads available on line (which I would love to have if I could afford them), again, the reality of buying on line and paying all those shipping charges gets to be pretty expensive, especially when combined with the costs of organic food, organic baby products, cloth diapering, etc. So from the perspective where cost meets availability meets safety... here is my take on it:
I live in NE Ohio where our local organic options are limited and buying everything on line adds up to big bucks and lots of shipping charges. The Priva mattress pad is readily available at the big name baby/children's store for about 1/4 the price of the totally organic pads available on line. And the part of the pad that my child comes in direct contact with is 100% organic. I can live with this!
It is a very comfy mattress pad - quilted, soft, breathable, thick and squishy. My son, in particular, has always sweated a lot during the summer months on other mattress pads and "waterproof" barrier sheets (even the ones that were 100% cotton flannel topped and/or supposed to be breathable). But I have noticed enormous improvement since he started sleeping on this mattress pad... there has been no more sweating or waking up wringing wet.
Some reviewers also complain of this pad shrinking or it being too tight to put on their mattress. I have purchased four of these so far over the past four years - two in the portacrib size and two in the full crib/toddler bed size - and have had no problems with them shrinking excessively or not fitting our mattresses. Wash in cold water. Line dry. You'll be fine.
No it is not truly 100% organic. But for the price and convenience of local availability, combined with a reasonable amount of organic safety, in my opinion, you can't beat this Priva mattress pad!
