 Organic? Not! Deceptive? Yes!Apr 22, 2008
By NightOwlBookstore
"Mantis"
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.

MisleadingMay 08, 2007
By Buyer1
"100% organic cotton and waterproof. Breathable yet waterproof polyurethane membrane backing."
The use of the term "100% organic cotton" is highly misleading. Perhaps the bit of cotton they use to make this is organic, but this item is hardly 100% organic. Polyurethane is one of the least natural/organic things you can expose your child to. They are exploiting the term organic to sell a piece of plastic.

 Not 100% Organic, But a Good Option & Great Value Nonetheless!Mar 30, 2009
By Healthy By Nature
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!

 Doesn't fit after washing and not totally organicJun 09, 2007
By Boulder Mom
The mattress pad barely fit my baby's crib mattress after I washed it according to the instructions. I have to constantly yank it down around the mattress edges and am afraid it will come off and surround my baby while he's asleep. Also, like another reviewer stated, only the cotton is organic in this mattress pad. The backing is basically plastic which is a petroleum product.

Best to date!Mar 01, 2006
By D. Lewen
Our 21 month old was sweating with other mattress pads, even on cool nights. The Organic Cotton Mattress Pad has virtually cured the problem. It is very durable and we love how easy it is to launder. Also, the pad is cushiony and our daughter likes that extra padding!
