Naturepedic Helping End Homelessness This Holiday Season

Naturepedic's initiative to alleviate homelessness during the holiday season by donating mattresses exemplifies a compassionate effort to address a critical need within communities. As temperatures drop and festivities fill the air, many individuals and families face the harsh reality of inadequate shelter. Naturepedic's commitment to providing mattresses acknowledges the fundamental importance of a safe and comfortable sleeping environment, especially for those without stable housing. Homelessness poses immense challenges, and a good night's sleep is a fundamental aspect of physical and mental well-being. Naturepedic's contribution of mattresses not only offers a tangible solution to a pressing need but also symbolizes empathy and support for individuals experiencing housing insecurity. By donating mattresses, Naturepedic plays a pivotal role in ensuring that those without homes have a better chance at restful sleep, a basic necessity that fosters a sense of dignity and hope. The impact of this philanthropic gesture extends beyond material assistance; it serves as a beacon of compassion, inspiring communities to come together in solidarity. It amplifies the spirit of giving during the holiday season, reminding us all of the importance of extending kindness to those in need. Naturepedic's commitment to social responsibility sets an example, encouraging other businesses and individuals to contribute to initiatives that address homelessness and provide essential resources to vulnerable populations. Moreover, the act of donating mattresses underscores Naturepedic's dedication to creating positive change beyond its commercial pursuits. It exemplifies a corporate ethos rooted in social consciousness, highlighting the company's values and commitment to making a meaningful difference in the lives of those less fortunate. Through this act of generosity, Naturepedic not only offers physical comfort but also kindles a sense of community care and solidarity, fostering a brighter holiday season for individuals experiencing homelessness.

 Naturepedic, the leading GOTS-certified organic, MADE SAFE® certified non-toxic mattress and bedding brand, is helping to make a difference in the lives of local Chicago and Cleveland families this holiday season by donating $50,000 worth of kids and adult mattresses and bedding to Humble Design, a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting families emerging from homelessness by providing furnishing and design services.

Approximately 582,000 Americans experience homelessness—and up to 50% return to homelessness within a year of securing housing. Thanks to Humble Design's initiatives, less than 1% will return. 

With the help of passionate volunteers like Naturepedic, Humble Design aims to transform the lives of displaced families by providing furnished and personalized new homes. Since March 2022, Naturepedic has donated over $140,000 in mattresses to support Humble Design and its mission.

"Naturepedic is proud to work with Humble Design and their mission to transform a house into a home for local families in need," said Arin Schultz, Naturepedic's Vice President of Sales and Marketing. "The Naturepedic team was able to join Humble Design Cleveland and its selfless volunteers to help furnish a home for a local family this year. Witnessing firsthand the impact and gratitude our donations led to is something we will forever be grateful for." 

"Partnering with Naturepedic has been so incredible," said Debbie Eastburn, Executive Director of Humble Design Cleveland. "Not only are they helping to get our families up off the floor, but they're providing a warm, comfortable, and secure place to sleep and turning an empty house into a home."

In addition to their work with Humble Design, Naturepedic donated financial support for the Lahaina wildfire victims via the holiday gifting program for Kokua Ka'ahele traveling hub, a grassroots organization dedicated to providing aid and essential needs to the Maui residents displaced by the wildfires. Naturepedic also made toy donations to Hope for the Holidays, an organization that provides gifts to those in the foster care system in Northeast Ohio.

Naturepedic is a 1% for the Planet member and a Green America Certified Business and advocates alongside the Environmental Working Group, Women's Voices for the Earth, Mattress Recycling Council, Toxic-Free Future, and many others. Over the past year, Naturepedic has donated over $290,000 to organizations advocating for the removal of toxic chemicals from consumer products and protecting the environment.
