As more people become concerned about synthetic chemicals’ health and environmental effects, organic mattresses are becoming increasingly popular.
The United States does not require every part of a mattress to be certified organic. According to Treehugger, the U.S. Department of Agriculture does not restrict the use of ‘organic.’ on textile products certified by third-party organizations like the Global Organic Textile Standard.
The mattresses in this list also include certified organic materials. This includes USDA-certified organic cotton and wool and other materials that different reliable sustainability standards have verified. Consider whether you prefer a mattress that has an innerspring or one made of 100% natural latex.
We searched the market for the best organic mattresses.

The company instead uses 100% Dunlop Latex, which is ecoINSTITUT-certified, from a farm owned by the company in Kerala, India. The entire mattress is Greenguard Certified Gold. This means that it will not emit volatile organic compounds.
The mattress also contains GOTS-certified organic wool, cotton, and recycled steel coils. Avocado offers customers 100 days to try out their beds. It also comes with a warranty of 25 years.

Best Crib Mattress
Soaring Heart Organic Crib Mat
The mattress, which is made in Seattle, is 100% organic. The mattress is made with organic New Zealand Wool, GOLS-certified extra-firm Dunlop Latex and USDA-certified organic cotton from Texas. The wool is needle-punched to create a fire-resistant layer that meets all federal fire safety standards. The mattress comes with a warranty of 20 years, making it a good hand-me-down. However, a mattress protector is needed because the bed cannot be cleaned easily.
Soaring Heart offers excellent customer service. It can take six weeks for your mattress to arrive because it is hand-made.
