In today’s fast-paced world of harmful chemicals, it is imperative to eliminate toxins while you sleep. Community Impact recently spoke with Rick Longmore, the owner of the new Naturepedic Organic Mattress Gallery in Southlake.

Longmore, along with his business partner Jeff Smith, opened Naturepedic’s first licensee store in 2014. Longmore and Smith also have locations in Dallas, Frisco and Denver.

What is an organic mattress?

Simply put, organic mattresses do not have all of the harmful chemicals that regular mattresses have. Our mattresses are made with only the finest clean ingredients nature has to offer and are free of pesticides and chemically questionable materials. Unlike other mattresses that contain petroleum-based foams like solid gasoline, harmful chemicals and/or fiberglass fire retardants, our organic mattresses pass all safety standards with flying colors.

Why Naturepedic?

At Naturepedic you will find our Amish-made handcrafted mattresses are proudly made here in the US with a complete line of third-party certified mattresses made for the entire family. Our line encompasses mattresses not only for your babies and kids, but our customizable adult beds provide quality and luxury with a comfort that is unmatched.

When will the grand opening take place?

Our Southlake store located in Park Village will have its official grand opening event Nov. 15-17. The event will feature many giveaways including a free adult and a free kid’s mattress. Naturepedic, which currently has 29 locations, plans on opening 10-15 more galleries next year.

Why choose our galleries?

Our unique showrooms provide our customers with an opportunity to try our complete line of healthy mattresses, bedding and accessories. Our noncommissioned sales associate’s mission is centered around “healthy sleep for the whole family.” We are committed to educating consumers about the importance of choosing the right mattress. Whether you are a new parent or simply looking to improve your sleep quality, visiting a Naturepedic store is the first step toward better health. Our showrooms carry a wide range of clean items. Besides healthy mattresses we also carry toppers, pillows, soap, clothing, bedding and more.

What is a customizable mattress?

A mattress where we fit each person individually. Each side is configured for that person’s body so that no one has to compromise. Our beds are designed with high quality zippers to give our customers the opportunity to change their configurations to grow with their needs and life changes.

What certifications and credibility does Naturepedic have?

Naturepedic prides itself on having numerous third party certifications that attest to the quality and safety of its products. Many companies claim to be organic but our customers are smart and recognize greenwashing when they see it. They understand that organic covers on beds do not equate to clean organic beds. Naturepedic is proud to have a GOTS certified factory here in the US to accompany their many certifications and awards.
