Other mattresses have an OEKO-TEX certification — while this doesn’t guarantee the mattress fibers are organic, it does mean the mattress is free from harmful substances like formaldehyde, chemical flame retardants, and dyes that might cause allergic reactions. Other certifications — like CertiPUR-US and Greenguard Gold place limits on certain materials that can be harmful to the ozone, the air, and your health — including chemicals that can get released from the mattress due to body heat.
Below, I’ve included GOTS- and GOLS-certified mattresses, as well as some more affordable options that still meet high standards for eco-consciousness and human safety. Plus, I’ve included plush, firm, and medium-firm options. So you can feel good when you tuck yourself in each night no matter how you prefer to sleep.
If it’s time to upgrade your bed, scroll on for the best organic mattresses to keep you comfy and supported while you snooze.
A great mid-price option, this natural latex mattress offers medium firmness that molds to your body for a supportive sleep that’s easy on your pressure points. The moldable material is similar to memory foam, but some people find that latex is cooler to sleep on. And since latex doesn’t transfer motion, it’ll help you stay asleep even when your partner rolls over or gets out of bed. The soft quilted cover is made with breathable cotton and wool, both of which are both GOTS-certified.
The mattress itself is OEKO-TEX and Greenguard Gold-certified, so it’s free from harmful substances and flame-retardant chemicals, but since wool and latex are naturally flame resistant, the mattress still offers fire safety without the use of chemicals.
For more firm support while you sleep, this memory foam mattress is a good choice. It features a high-density support foam base, a middle layer of cooling gel-infused memory foam, and a top layer of air-infused memory foam. While memory foam can get too hot for some people, the gel-infused layer helps regulate body temperature throughout the night. And because memory foam isolates motion, you’re less likely to be disturbed by movement. There’s also a soft, breathable cotton cover.
The mattress is CertiPUR-US- and OEKO-TEX-certified, so it’s free from many potentially harmful substances, as well as certain flame retardants, but the manufacturer states that the mattress is fire resistance-tested.
This medium-firm hybrid mattress features a layer of springs topped with a layer of antimicrobial, copper-infused comfort foam. On top of that, a layer of bamboo charcoal memory foam offers molded support, while keeping mold and mildew at bay. The springs are encased in foam pockets which reduce motion transfer. However, while the memory foam offers great support, it’s not the best option for hot sleepers.
The mattress is CertiPU-US-certified, with a breathable, flame-retardant cotton cover that’s OEKO-TEX-certified. It’s available in three thickness options — 8-inch, 10-inch, or 12-inch.
The Happsy 100% organic hybrid mattress meets the rigorous requirements for GOTS and GOLS certification, so you can be sure it’s made with organic materials and free from potentially harmful substances.
The medium-firm mattress features supportive pocket springs topped with latex and a layer of temperature-regulating wool batting for plush softness and breathability. The soft and stretchy cover is from organic cotton and is flame resistant. Thanks to the combination of pocket springs and latex, which is similar in feel to memory foam, this mattress contours to your body, provides support, offers pressure point relief, and reduces motion transfer. However, the latex here is from renewable tree sap and features air channels throughout to keep it from getting too hot. Although the mattress is with latex, cotton, and wool, it’s naturally flame retardant.
The mattress is CertiPU-US-certified, with a breathable, flame-retardant cotton cover that’s OEKO-TEX-certified. It’s available in three thickness options — 8-inch, 10-inch, or 12-inch.
