Naturepedic Organic Waterproof Crib Pad
Lower-concern choice; brand avoids PFAS-based waterproofing and third-party verified for organic content.
Naturepedic's waterproof crib pad uses organic cotton with polyurethane waterproofing rather than PFAS-containing water-repellent coating treatments, and carries MADE SAFE and GOTS certifications. The brand explicitly positions itself as PFAS-free.
Brand says: “Naturepedic explicitly markets products as PFAS-free and uses polyurethane-based waterproofing instead of fluorinated coatings”
