When we talk about sustainability in the bedding industry, the conversation often circles around marketing buzzwords and vague claims. But every now and then, a company rises above the noise with real action, measurable results, and a transparent commitment to doing things the right way. At Nest Bedding, we’ve done just that—and the recognition is catching up. We’ve been named the #1 sustainable bedding brand by Green Matters in their list of The 10 Best Sustainable Bedding Brands for a Good Night’s Sleep. That’s not just a feel-good headline. It reflects our real work to make our products healthier, more environmentally responsible, and built to last.

Let’s walk through what that recognition really means, what sets our products apart, and how our sustainability efforts go well beyond the mattress surface. If you care about what you bring into your home, what you sleep on, breathe in, and support with your dollars, this is a conversation worth staying for.

What Makes Nest Bedding a Leader in Sustainable Bedding?

At Nest Bedding, we’ve never believed in greenwashing. From day one, we’ve made it our mission to create bedding that’s truly better for people and the planet. Starting with the materials we choose, the way they are produced, and the certifications we pursue. We believe in building products that not only feel good today but make a lasting, positive impact on the future.

We are committed to using certified organic and non-toxic materials in as many of our products as possible. We use organic cotton, natural Talalay latex, and CertiPUR-US® certified foams. These certifications go beyond being labels. They’re backed by rigorous third-party testing to ensure our materials are free from harmful chemicals like formaldehyde, heavy metals, and PBDE flame retardants.

We’re also proud to hold Fair Trade and Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certifications. Fair Trade means we support ethical labor practices and fair wages throughout our supply chain. FSC certification verifies that the wood and other forest-based materials we use come from responsibly managed forests that provide environmental, social, and economic benefits.

Our commitment to sustainability goes beyond just the materials we use. It’s also about how we create our products. By manufacturing our mattresses in the USA, we can maintain tight control over quality, reduce transportation emissions, and support local jobs. Plus, since our products are built to last, they don’t end up in landfills after just a few years of use.

Healthy Sleep Starts with Healthy Materials

For people like Emma Green, the health-conscious professional who wants her home to reflect her values, what’s in a mattress matters just as much as how it feels. That’s why we’ve built our products with health in mind from the ground up.

The materials in our mattresses and bedding are carefully chosen to support personal well-being and environmental responsibility. Take our Owl Natural Latex Hybrid mattress, for example. It features natural Talalay latex, organic cotton, and Joma wool, materials that are breathable, moisture-wicking, and hypoallergenic. More importantly, they’re free from harmful off-gassing chemicals that can compromise indoor air quality.

Our Quail Responsive Foam Mattress is another standout. It uses CertiPUR-US® certified foam, meaning it’s been tested for content, emissions, and durability. That translates to lower VOC (volatile organic compound) emissions and a healthier sleep environment, especially critical for families with young children or people with sensitivities.

We also offer vegan options like the Sparrow Signature Hybrid mattress, which skips animal-based materials without sacrificing comfort or support. It’s an ideal choice for customers who want to align their purchases with their values without compromising on quality.

Our Most Recommended Products for Sustainable and Healthy Sleep

We know that sustainability means different things to different people. Some customers prioritize organic materials, others want durability to reduce waste, and many are looking for both. That’s why our product lineup offers a range of options that meet these needs.

Here are a few of our most popular and well-reviewed mattresses:

• Sparrow Signature Hybrid: This is our flagship mattress, and for good reason. It features CertiPUR-US® certified Energex™ foam, a pocketed coil system for support, and a quilted organic cotton cover. 

• Raven Flippable Memory Foam Hybrid: Designed for those who want versatility, the Raven offers two firmness levels in one mattress. It’s built with non-toxic materials and offers the kind of support that adapts to your sleep style. Its flippable design helps extend its lifespan.

• Quail Responsive Foam Mattress: A budget-friendly option that doesn’t cut corners on health or sustainability. It’s made with CertiPUR-US® foam and comes with a breathable organic cotton cover.

• Lark Natural Kids Mattress: Because kids deserve clean, safe sleep too. The Lark is made with natural latex and organic cotton, and it’s sized just right for growing bodies.

All of these products come with a 365-night trial and free shipping because we believe that sustainable sleep should also be accessible and risk-free.

In addition to our mattresses, we sustainably manufacture bamboo, silk, and TENCEL™ bedding designed to support your comfort and the planet. Here’s how each one is made, and why it matters.

Bamboo Bedding

Our Bamboo Sheet Sets, Bamvoo Duvet Set, Lightweight Luxury Bamboo Quilt, and Luxury Weighted Blanket are crafted from 100% bamboo rayon pulp fiber, a regenerated cellulose that feels soft, light, and breathable. Through a careful process that transforms bamboo into viscose and then into fine threads, we create bedding that drapes beautifully and keeps you cool all night long.

Unlike traditional viscose made from wood or cotton, our bamboo comes from fast-growing shoots on natural hillsides—no flat farmland, irrigation, or fertilizers required. Bamboo matures in just 2–3 years and is harvested using methods that allow forests to regenerate quickly. It’s one of the most renewable resources on Earth.

Silk Bedding

Our Silk Cloud Comforter delivers all-season comfort with a naturally hypoallergenic and temperature-regulating fill. Lightweight and breathable, it’s the perfect combination of softness and functionality.

We use only 100% Mulberry silk (grade 6A, 19 momme) for lasting quality. Each comforter is filled with layers of hand-stretched silk cocoons, forming thick, fluffy bundles of silk floss. These are wrapped in breathable organic cotton, ensuring comfort, airflow, and a luxurious sleep experience.

TENCEL™ Bedding

Our TENCEL™ Sheet Sets bring together softness, strength, and sustainability. Sourced from FSC and PEFC-certified wood, it’s made through a closed-loop process that reuses water and solvents, earning global recognition for its eco-friendly innovation.

TENCEL™ uses 10 to 20 times less water than cotton and is derived from renewable wood. The result is bedding that’s ultra-soft, naturally breathable, and kind to both your skin and the planet.

Recognition That Reflects Our Values

We’re honored to have been ranked #1 in Green Matters’ list of the 10 Best Sustainable Bedding Brands. This recognition wasn’t handed out lightly. Green Matters evaluated brands based on their use of organic materials, third-party certifications, ethical manufacturing, and long-term durability.

But that’s not the only recognition we’ve received. Our mattresses have also been featured by trusted reviewers like NapLab and Sleepoplis, who consistently praise the comfort, quality, and eco-conscious construction of our products.

These accolades matter because they show the real-world impact of our choices. They prove that it's possible to build a business that puts people and the planet first, while still delivering products that customers love.

Sustainability That Starts at the Source

It’s easy to slap a green label on a product and call it eco-friendly. What’s harder, and far more meaningful, is building sustainability into every stage of the product life cycle. That’s what we’ve done at Nest Bedding.

We source our materials with care. Our organic cotton comes from farms that avoid synthetic pesticides and fertilizers. Our natural latex is harvested from rubber trees using methods that preserve biodiversity and soil health. And our wood components are FSC-certified, meaning they come from responsibly managed forests.

We manufacture many of our products in the United States, which not only supports domestic jobs but also reduces the carbon footprint associated with overseas shipping. Our factories follow strict environmental standards, and we’re always looking for ways to reduce waste and improve efficiency.

Transparency is another key part of our process. We publish detailed information about our materials and certifications on our Sustainability, Purity & Certifications page, so customers can make informed decisions. No fine print. No greenwashing.

Why Longevity Matters in Sustainability

One of the most overlooked aspects of sustainability is product lifespan. A mattress that lasts five years and ends up in a landfill isn’t sustainable, no matter what it’s made from. That’s why we design our products to go the distance.

Many of our mattresses, like the Sparrow Signature Hybrid, feature replaceable comfort layers. That means you can refresh the feel of your mattress without replacing the entire thing. It extends the life of the product and reduces waste.

We also back our products with industry-leading warranties and a full year to try them out at home. If something isn’t right, we’ll work with you to make it right. That’s not just good customer service. It’s part of our commitment to reducing returns and minimizing our environmental impact.

Transparency and Trust Go Hand in Hand

We know our customers care about where their products come from and how they’re made. That’s why we’ve built transparency into every part of our business. From sourcing and manufacturing to shipping and customer service, we aim to be clear, honest, and accountable.

You can read about every certification we hold, what it means, and why it matters right on our website. We don’t expect you to take our word for it. We invite you to check the details, ask questions, and make the choice that’s right for you.

We believe that trust is earned, not claimed. And we’re proud to have earned the trust of thousands of customers who care about health, sustainability, and quality.
