When you walk into Coco-Mat—an eco-friendly mattress and home furnishings store that opened in Soho earlier this year—you may think you mistakenly entered a ground floor loft apartment. The whitewashed sun-filled space has a cozy sitting area, a child’s bedroom, a private sleeping suite, a kids', art station with a blackboard wall, and even an open-plan kitchen where staff prepares snacks for guests, like figs sprinkled with minced oregano, Greek salads and freshly squeezed juice. Cash registers are noticeably absent, adding to the friendly apartment vibe. This low-key sales approach is an integral part of Coco-Mat's philosophy of building community and making customers, particularly families, feel welcome.

Founded in Greece, Coco-Mat manufactures mattresses, furniture and linens that are all-natural, non-toxic, hypoallergenic and handcrafted. The company's not a newcomer to the eco-friendly scene: It has been doing business this way for the past 24 years. Although Coco-Mat has 60 stores in 11 counties, the NYC shop at 49 Mercer Street is its first stand-alone U.S. store, and inside is a brand-new mini-boutique dedicated to the company's popular children's line, which includes crib mattresses, kids' beds, desks, bookcases, pillows and curtains.

In honor of this new kids' mini-shop, Coco-Mat is giving away a $300 shopping spree to one lucky Mommy Poppins reader, plus a pair of $100 gift cards to two runner-ups. Read on to learn more about Coco-Mat's products and for details about how to enter the giveaway.
