What type of mattress do you have? Studies show that around a third of your life is spent on the bed – either sleeping
or doing some other bed-focused activity. Getting a high quality mattress is a sound investment for your comfort and overall well-being, given the amount of time you will spend with the product you choose. When you talk about getting excellent mattress choices, an organic mattress is your top choice.
Traditional Mattresses vs Organic Mattresses
Conventional mattresses may be exposing you to a variety of harmful chemicals, which are used as flame-retardants. Some of these chemicals are highly toxic, and long-term exposure to these can lead to a host of health issues. Some of the harmful chemicals usually found in traditional mattresses include PBDE (polybrominated diphenyl ether), other brominated flame-retardants, formaldehyde, and VOCs volatile organic compounds.
An organic mattress will benefit your well-being in the long run, with materials such as latex foam and wool that most people consider as hypoallergenic. The organic fibers and fabrics used in manufacturing organic mattresses are not treated with chemical dyes, pesticides, or toxic chemicals that can be harmful to your health. Choosing an organic mattress will also help the environment since the materials used do not necessitate the use of herbicides and pesticides. Sustainable materials such as latex, sustainable woods, and organic wool & cotton are also biodegradable and recyclable.
Organic mattresses are created with organic fabric and padding – with the most common materials being organic cotton and wool -, and latex foams. Organic latex beds are manufactured using foam from organically-grown latex trees using the Dunlop method of processing. On the other hand, memory foam and hybrid organic mattresses are made with plant-based polyfoam to achieve that unique contouring feature.
It should be noted that mattresses can never be considered as 100% organic – the highest level of organic components comprises 95% of the entire product. You may come across some products which are labeled as “eco-friendly” or “green”; this can mean that one stage of the manufacturing process is described as such, without the entire product being purely organic or natural.
Common Materials Used in Organic Mattresses
Cotton
Organic cotton is grown without the use of harsh pesticides or fertilizers and does not involve genetically-modified organisms. This material – used as mattress fill and as the fabric to cover the mattress itself – results in a comfortable organic mattress that is highly durable. Cotton is hypoallergenic, making it ideal for people with sensitive skin and respiratory conditions.
Wool
An organic wool mattress is ideal if you want to avoid the discomfort of sleeping on a hot spot on your bed. Wool dissipates excess heat, keeping your mattress cool all the time. This type of organic mattress has minuscule air pockets that improve moisture evaporation and air circulation so you can rest with a drier, cooler feeling. Heat and moisture buildup is prevented with lanolin naturally present in wool. Lanolin is a natural wax that keeps sheep’s hair soft and dry through extreme weather conditions. Typically, wool organic mattresses – which are hypoallergenic for most people – have a shorter lifespan compared to cotton and latex mattresses.
Organic latex mattresses are considered to be generally hypoallergenic. Natural latex contains at least 95% rubber sap from the rubber tree, with no harmful additives or chemicals used. The sap is poured using the Talalay or Dunlop process, which result in slightly different finished products. Talalay latex has a bouncier, softer feel, with breathable airholes that result in a mattress that feels cooler to the body. The Dunlop process results in a denser and heavier latex material as a finished product.
Advantages of Organic Mattresses
Chemical-Free.
Organic mattresses are protected from fires with the use of Kevlar, wool layers, silica, or specially-designed silica without the use of harmful chemicals. Traditional mattresses are treated with a host of chemicals that make them fire- and flame-resistant. Studies show that exposure – especially long-term – to these chemicals (such as PBDEs) can pose problems in the thyroid, liver, and other body organs.
Hypoallergenic.
An organic mattress is naturally hypoallergenic because of the organic materials used in their creation. Most organic mattress covers use organic cotton, which is one of the most hypoallergenic materials in the world. They are made without using harsh pesticides, herbicides, or chemicals that can lead to skin irritations. Organic mattresses are ideal for those who have respiratory problems, those who have allergies, and for young children or infants who have a higher risk of developing skin irritations.
Durable.
Organic mattresses last longer compared to their traditionally-made counterparts. The costlier options which are as close as possible to be 95% organic have more organic components, but these products will also give you the best value for money as they last much longer compared to conventional mattresses.
No Unpleasant Smells.
You may notice a harsh chemical smell from the time remove your mattress; protective covering, and this may last for a few more days. The unpleasant smell comes from the chemicals (volatile organic compounds or VOCs) which were used to make the mattress fire-retardant. This smell can be extremely irritating especially to those with sensitive senses of smell, considering that the mattress would just be a few inches away from the face when one lies down.
Environmentally-Friendly.
Organic mattresses are manufactured with eco-friendly, sustainable, and biodegradable materials that have not been touched by pesticides, herbicides, or other harsh chemicals. When you choose an organic mattress, you are contributing to keeping the environment safer by reducing your carbon footprint.
Third Party Certifications for Organic Mattresses
How do you know that a mattress is certified organic? Here are some of the certifications you should be aware of when choosing an organic mattress made out of natural materials:
USDA Organic Certification
States that for a product to be called “organic”, at least 95% of it should be made of organic materials.
Global Organic Latex Standard (GOLS)
The GOLS certification analyzes finished and organic latex foam products; it states that at least 95% certified organic raw material should be present for the product to be certified.
Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS)
A product with a GOTS organic certification does not necessarily mean that it is USDA organic since their worldwide standards for products are different. A GOTS certification will inform you that the product was manufactured using organic fibers.
OEKO Tex
This certification gives assurance that the organic mattress will not emit any harmful materials (chemicals that may pose health risks or illegal substances).
Greenguard Gold
This certification ensures that the organic mattress has very minimal particle and chemical emissions.
Eco Institut
This certification gives you an idea about the product’s durability, as well as assurances regarding the natural latex content and emission testing results.
CertiPUR – US Certified
Seeing this certification would assure you that the product contains certified flexible polyurethane foam made without formaldehyde, lead, mercury, or other heavy metals.
Cradle to Cradle
This ensures that the product is not harmful to the environment. The certification also addresses several issues related to environmental and social awareness, such as social fairness, renewable energy and carbon management, material health, water stewardship, and material reusing.
Organic Exchange
This certification applies to products that have a minimum of 5% organic cotton and states that the fibers used are 100% organic with no contact (at any point in the processing) with other fibers.
