Naturepedic is extending its approach to healthier sleep environments into home fragrance with sleep wellness candles developed alongside Fontana Candle Co. The new Pine & Pillow candle combines pure beeswax and coconut oil with essential oils and plant extracts rather than a petroleum-derived paraffin base. Its black pine, black spruce, ho wood and vanilla scent is designed to complement bedtime routines with a warm, woodsy atmosphere. The candle is also MADE SAFE certified and features an untreated cherry wood wick sourced from FSC-certified mills.
As Naturepedic’s first candle and brand collaboration, the launch expands the mattress and bedding company into an adjacent wellness category while maintaining its focus on ingredient transparency. Partnering with Fontana also gives Naturepedic access to established candle-making expertise. The collaboration demonstrates how sleep brands can broaden their ecosystems with complementary products that turn bedtime into a more comprehensive wellness ritual.
