What is an Organic Mattress and does it truly exist?

I recently direcvesod your blog/website and have genuinely enjoyed reading this and some of the other posts. I thought I would dive out from the shadows and leave my first comment. I’m not certain what to say other than I have enjoyed reading and will continue to visit as frequently as I can.

Thanks for sharing that exciting news Anglea! Looking forward to hearing more about this from you

Great post, except that GOTS does in fact now have a certification for finished mattresses. It is relatively new, but it is a recognized standard for organic mattresses. The only caveat is that GOTS certifies only up to 95%. This is true of GOTS certified textiles like organic cotton and organic wool. It doesn’t mean that you can’t get to 100%, it just means that the GOTS label can be used if it is at least 95%. The GOTS certification for mattresses excludes the fill material like springs because it obviously is not a bio-based material. A very new certification is also now in existence by Control Union and that is GOLS which is the Global Organic Latex Standard. This standard is just now being adopted by only 2 suppliers, so stay tuned!
