I would write to them to be sure though because they are not an all organic company, they just make certain products. BTW, I never once used the play yard that I got. And I always(and still) co-slept with my baby so I never worried about toxins in crib mattresses or play yards or bassinetts, just invest in a mattress for yourself, such as one from organicgrace.
That is the play yard I purchased. I only used it a few times and our son slept with us most of the few times we brought it with us. Just used it for a couple of naps. Not necessary, we could have done without it, but it made me feel better to know I had a backup with me when traveling, just in case. I bought organic quilted play yard mattress pads to go over the pathetic "pad" that the play yard came with. I almost purchased the naturepedic mattress for play yards, but just couldn't justify the extra cost if we were only going to use it a few times. Now that I think about it, we would have done just as well to have purchase the naturepedic play yard mattress and put it on the floor Montessori style for those times when we traveled and ds was napping and we weren't able to stay in the room with him so we couldn't just leave him on the big bed. For home, a chemical free mattress for your own bed is a great investment. I am looking at getting a Shifman mattress next, they are natural, made with sustainable materials, and hand tied, but not organic.
