A “New” Sponsorship!

Hello all!

We are excited to share that Naturepedic has come on board as a new sponsor of the work of Lead Safe Mama, LLC!
_
Naturepedic has been a partner and supporter of our work since we first met their team in 2014. Their generosity and ongoing commitment to supporting the work of Lead Safe Mama, LLC are unparalleled. Naturepedic has donated new organic mattresses to families with Lead-poisoned children whom we have helped over the past decade+. They have even contributed mattresses and sheet sets as prizes for our big annual readership appreciation giveaways.

Naturepedic is also the organic mattress brand I have chosen for my family.

Before making these decisions, I spent some time researching the company (and learned of their USA-based manufacturing processes, the clean/ natural/ organic materials they use, their science-based approach to environmentalism, and their ethical standards). Then I tested their products using XRF technology and found their stock to be cleaner than other mattresses we had tested!

Only after confirming their mattresses met our standards did I invite Naturepedic to partner with us (and eventually order Naturepedic mattresses for my home, and my son in college, too).

Throughout last month (August 2025), we had an affiliate relationship with Naturepedic. However, in August, we chose not to renew any of our direct-affiliate relationships with any manufacturers, as we felt it was not an organic or authentic way to integrate corporate support into our business. Our only remaining affiliate relationship is with Amazon, a relationship we have set up at the request of the Lead Safe Mama online community — so you can support our work with your purchases (if you choose to shop on Amazon), and so we can provide direct links to products you have asked us to test/ that have tested clean. (That way you can see them “in the wild” and make note of which you want to purchase if you choose to shop locally — something we encourage!)

The most exciting bit of news is that this gift of support from Naturepedic has provided critical funding to help us bridge the gap in costs for much of the laboratory testing and reporting that was not covered over the summer. With this support, we can now focus on publishing many of our pending (otherwise-not-yet-funded) lab reports without worrying about where the funding to pay the Lead Safe Mama team for that work will come from. (Woot!)

In thanks for Naturepedic’s incredibly generous new sponsorship of our work, we have placed a banner with a link to their website at the top of our  website. You can see the banner here, at the top of this post. By simply clicking on that banner from any page of our website, you (our Lead Safe Mama community) can easily show some “link love” to thank Naturepedic for their support of our work. Please do consider clicking this new banner next time you are looking for organic mattresses, organic bedding, or any organic gifts for new babies in your life (changing pads, dolls, crib mattresses, etc). Naturepedic is especially at the top of my list when choosing gifts for newlyweds and new babies: I love gifting their sheets, dolls, pillows, changing pads, and crib mattresses!

Thank you again to Naturepedic for the ongoing support. Please do check out their products when you are next looking for sheets and bedding, and especially watch for when Naturepedic releases the next set of their new organic plushie doll line (these sell out fast). Finally, their 20% off Labor Day sale is still live, so this is a good time to check out the site if you are in the market for a mattress!
