CertiPUR-US is an independent certification program that tests foam products for content, emissions, and durability. It is not a brand claim or a marketing badge — it is a third-party verification that the foam in your baby's mat has been tested and meets strict standards.
What CertiPUR-US tests for:
- No formaldehyde added during manufacturing
- No mercury, lead, or heavy metals
- No phthalates (CPSC-regulated)
- No PBDE flame retardants
- Low VOC emissions (less than 0.5 parts per million)
Every batch of PocoKoko foam is tested independently. Not sampled. Not spot-checked. Every production run goes through the full testing protocol before it reaches your home.
But we did not stop at CertiPUR-US. Our mats also carry CPSIA compliance for children's products, ASTM F963-23 toy safety standards, OEKO-TEX Standard 100 for textile safety, and California Prop 65 compliance. Five certifications total — because one is a start, not a finish.
Frequently Asked Questions
How can I verify the CertiPUR-US certification?
Visit the CertiPUR-US website and search for PocoKoko in their certified products directory. Our certification number is publicly listed and independently verifiable.
Is CertiPUR-US the same as non-toxic?
CertiPUR-US is a specific, testable certification. "Non-toxic" is an unregulated marketing term with no standardized definition. We use certifications because they can be verified. Learn more →
Do all foam play mats have CertiPUR-US certification?
No. Many play mats use EVA foam, which is not eligible for CertiPUR-US testing. And many memory foam products choose not to pursue certification due to cost. Always verify claims on the CertiPUR-US website directly.
