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!
