the best sustainable, Non-Toxic & organic mattresses
A good night’s sleep is something to cherish, especially with how demanding our lives can be. For many years, I never thought about the mattress I slept on. I took the full-size mattress my parents purchased when I was seven years old to college and slept on it until I was about 25 (yeah, it wasn’t that comfortable). At that point, I had already made many eco-friendly and sustainable switches in my life, so when I went searching for a mattress, I knew it needed to align with my values.
WHY CHOOSE a non-Toxic Mattress?
Because we spend 1/3 of our lives in our beds! Why wouldn’t we want to make it a safe, non-toxic zone? When we get a little shut-eye, we shouldn’t have to compromise our health (or the planet’s). You don’t want to sleep on toxic materials which have been grown or treated with pesticides. The majority of these mattresses are made with certified organic materials, but all are approved to be toxic-free & healthy for sleep.
What to look for when buying a non-toxic mattress
When adding new mattress brands to this list, we looked for eco-friendly materials and sustainable certifications. Materials we like to see are sustainably sourced wool, organic cotton, organic rubber, and natural latex. Certifications to look for include Rain Forest Alliance, GOTS, GOLS, GREENGUARD, OEKO-TEX, CertiPUR-US®, and Intertek Clean Air Certified. While certifications are not a be-all, end-all, they ensure higher ethical and sustainable standards are met, making conscious shopping easier for consumers.
