Best Organic Mattresses

We consider the Birch to be a standout organic mattress for a few reasons. These include a true medium firm (6) feel, which delivered a comfortable balance of cushioning and support for our testers across different body type and sleep position groups. An approachable price-point also makes the Birch one of the most affordable organic models we’ve tested.

How It Performed

The Birch drew positive ratings from most of our testers. The most favorable responses came from our side sleepers weighing at least 130 pounds, back sleepers between 130 and 230 pounds, and stomach sleepers up to 230 pounds. That said, nearly all of us awarded the mattress a rating of “good” or better.

Using thermal body sensors, we detected minimal heat buildup when testing the Birch for temperature control. We attributed this to the bed’s breathable comfort layers and strong airflow through the coil system. Our testers also encountered very little resistance when moving across the surface, and we noticed strong pushback during our edge support tests. Since high-quality latex resists indentations over time, we’ve also given the Birch an above-average rating for expected durability.

What It’s Made of

The Birch begins with an organic cotton cover, followed by layers of organic wool that act as a fire barrier while also cooling off the mattress’ surface. A comfort layer of natural, ventilated Talalay latex makes the surface feel responsive. The pocketed coil support core also adds to the Birch’s bouncy feel. Wool and rayon fibers form the base layer for added fire protection and stability. At 11 inches thick, the Birch is considered a medium-profile mattress and is shorter than many of the other latex hybrids we’ve tested. This may be an appealing quality for people who struggle getting in and out of taller beds.

The cotton cover holds certification with the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS). Another notable certification for the mattress comes from the PGC Wrightson Wool Integrity Program, which ensures the sheep used to obtain the wool layers are treated ethically and humanely. Additional honors for the mattress include GREENGUARD and eco-INSTITUT certifications, which test for harmful chemicals and emissions.

The Birch’s sticker price is much lower than that of the average latex hybrid, and shipping is free to all 50 states. Your purchase also includes two Birch pillows at no extra cost. The sleep trial runs for 100 nights, and those who keep their mattress also receive a 25-year warranty against structural defects.

Organic mattresses tend to be expensive due to the extra steps needed during production, but the Eco Terra Hybrid Latex Mattress proves there are wallet-friendly options. The tried-and-true combo of wool batting, a latex comfort layer, and pocketed coils delivers the responsiveness, support, and breathability sleepers have come to expect from latex hybrids without costing an arm and a leg.

How It Performed

The mattress is available in two firmness levels, medium (5) and medium firm (6). Our side sleepers weighing at least 130 pounds preferred the latter, as did back and stomach sleepers weighing 230 pounds or less. This design delivers plenty of pushback to ensure little to no sinkage around the midsection for most sleepers — though some of our stomach sleepers over 230 pounds didn’t receive enough support. The softer model contours closely, and should provide adequate cushioning for side sleepers under 130 pounds.

Edge support and ease of movement were two testing highlights. The Talalay latex is light and bouncy, responding quickly to motion and position changes. This may result in motion transfer, which can disrupt sleep for couples, but you shouldn’t have any trouble getting on and off the mattress. Another strength of this model is temperature control. None of our testers felt warm lying on the Hybrid Latex Mattress, and thermal mapping sensors indicate minimal heat buildup.

What It’s Made of

The Hybrid Latex Mattress begins with a layer of organic wool batting. While intended as a fire barrier, this layer also keeps the surface cool and wicks moisture away from the body. The comfort layer consists of solid Talalay latex, which is ventilated for added cooling. Pocketed coils make up the support core, and the cover is made of organic cotton.

The latex holds a certification from the Global Organic Latex Standard, and the wool and cotton are certified by the Global Organic Textile Standard. Additionally, the coils are composed of upcycled steel and encased in food-grade polypropylene fabric. All of these thoughtful touches should appeal to shoppers seeking a mattress with a small footprint.

In addition to approachable pricing for the Hybrid Latex Mattress, Eco Terra offers free ground shipping to customers in the contiguous U.S. Your order includes a sleep trial that runs for 90 nights beginning on the date of delivery. If you decide to keep the mattress, you’ll also receive a 15-year manufacturer’s warranty.

Saatva is known for luxurious and eco-friendly sleep products, but the Latex Hybrid takes sustainable design to the next level with a slew of organic, natural, and recycled materials. The mattress also benefits sleepers with multiple zoned layers to reinforce areas of weight concentration while cradling the head and legs.

How It Performed

The Latex Hybrid has a medium firm (6) feel. During our tests, the back and stomach sleepers on our team weighing up to 230 pounds received gentle contouring and sufficient reinforcement – two key factors for comfortable sleep among people who use these positions. Our side sleepers weighing at least 130 pounds also gave the mattress favorable ratings.

Our tests showed better-than-average pressure relief compared to other latex hybrids. We’ve attributed this to the bed’s zoned transitional and support layers, which push back against extra weight around the midsection to prevent excessive sinkage. We also noted steady airflow throughout the mattress and a breathable cover also reduced heat buildup during our temperature control tests.

What It’s Made of

The Latex Hybrid is constructed with a New Zealand wool top layer that serves as a fire barrier and keeps you cool during the night. The comfort layer is composed of ventilated, natural Talalay latex that responds to movement with a strong bounce, allowing you to move across the surface with ease. This layer is divided into five firmness zones for extra support to your chest, stomach, and hips. Similar zoning is found in the pocketed coil support core. These coils are also thicker along the perimeter to keep the edges even when you get in and out of bed. A cover made of organic cotton encases the entire mattress.

GOTS certifications for the organic cotton cover and wool batting layer ensure these materials have been sustainably and ethically sourced. The coils are made of recycled steel. Another eco-friendly component is the Guardin antimicrobial treatment applied to each Latex Hybrid model during production. This is a green alternative to chemical sprays often used to safeguard mattresses against harmful bacteria.

Saatva is one of the only online mattress brands offering free White Glove delivery throughout the contiguous U.S. This service includes a scheduled delivery date, full assembly of the Latex Hybrid in a room of your choice, and removal of your old mattress and box spring upon request. The company’s sleep trial lets you test out the mattress for an entire year, and your purchase is also backed by a lifetime warranty.

If you sleep on your side, then pressure relief and adequate support for sensitive areas along the spine are equally important for a good night’s sleep. The Nolah Natural 11 is better suited for side sleepers than many competing latex hybrids, and this is largely due to its deep comfort system with two latex layers. A zoned support core adds extra reinforcement for the shoulders, hips, and other areas where pressure tends to build when you lie on your side.

How It Performed

During our tests, the Nolah Natural 11 received a positive response across all sleeper categories. Ratings were especially strong from side sleepers weighing at least 130 pounds, who noted even contouring and adequate cushioning from the latex layers. Our back sleepers weighing up to 230 pounds and stomach sleepers under 130 pounds also felt comfortable on the mattress. The zoned coils pushed back against their midsections, allowing them to lie comfortably without sinking too much.

The latex layers and coils give the surface considerable bounce, which we felt when testing the Natural 11 for ease of movement. A sturdy perimeter helped us get on and off the mattress with relative ease. As is usually the case for latex hybrids, we gave the Natural 11 exemplary ratings for temperature control and expected durability.

What It’s Made of

Many of the latex hybrids we’ve tested contain a single latex layer. The Nolah Natural 11 is a standout because it is constructed with two latex layers, the first being softer and more adaptive than the second. This resulted in deep cushioning as we got onto the mattress, followed by more pushback as our bodies settled into the second, denser layer. The coils are zoned to be thicker and stronger beneath your torso and hips, so you’ll notice extra support in these areas.

A cotton cover encases the mattress, and a thin layer of wool batting is sewn onto the surface to act as a fire barrier. Both the cotton and wool are GOTS-certified. The foundational layer also features these organic materials. Natural latex is used in the comfort system.

Seven sizes are available for the Natural 11, including a split king intended for couples who share adjustable beds. The Natural 11 is affordably priced compared to the average latex hybrid and shipping is free throughout the contiguous U.S. Nolah includes a 120-night sleep trial with each order. You can opt out of the trial if you wish and cut your up-front costs by as much as $150, though this means you won’t be able to return the mattress at any point. Those who keep their Natural 11 receive lifetime warranties.

The PlushBeds Signature Bliss is a pillow-top hybrid that showcases the natural responsiveness, breathability, and longevity of organic Dunlop latex. This dense material delivers gentle cushioning without hugging too closely, and you’ll notice a light bounce when getting in and out of bed. A Global Organic Latex Standard certification ensures the rubber trees used to produce the latex have been sustainably grown and harvested. Likewise, the cotton cover and wool batting transitional layer have earned certification from the Global Organic Textile Standard.

How It Performed

Our team tested both firmness levels of the Signature Bliss. Side sleepers up to 230 pounds and back sleepers under 130 pounds appreciated the plush feel and close contour of the medium soft (4) model. Although the latex is still springy, this design feels highly adaptive and may sink too deeply for people who weigh more. These individuals are better candidates for the medium firm (6) model, which earned its most favorable ratings from side and back sleepers weighing at least 130 pounds and stomach sleepers between 130 and 230 pounds.

Our performance tests show each design has unique strengths. The softer model alleviates pressure buildup well and isolates more motion than its firmer counterpart. On the other hand, those seeking a mattress with stronger edge support, more consistent temperature control, and better ease of movement should opt for the medium firm design. Due to the lack of synthetic foam, both mattresses fared quite well during our off-gassing tests.

What It’s Made of

The Signature Bliss begins with a true pillow-top containing 3 inches of organic Dunlop latex. Unlike memory foam, the latex responds quickly to movement and makes the surface feel exceptionally bouncy. This can limit motion isolation, but also means you should encounter minimal resistance when moving across the mattress. Breathable wool batting forms the transitional layer.

The pocketed coils are zoned to feel more robust beneath your torso and hips. Thicker coils also line the perimeter to push back against your weight when you sleep near the edges of the mattress or get in and out of bed. An organic cotton cover encases the entire mattress. At 15 inches, the Signature Bliss is quite thick and may require a fitted sheet with deep pockets.

You can choose from nine sizes for your Signature Bliss. These include standard mattress dimensions, as well as a split king if you and your partner share a king size adjustable bed. PlushBeds provides free ground delivery throughout the contiguous U.S., and each order includes a 100-night sleep trial. Those who decide to keep their mattress after the return period ends also receive a lifetime warranty.

The WinkBeds EcoCloud’s combination of deep cushioning and targeted support makes it an approachable mattress option for a wide range of sleepers. The mattress achieves this balanced medium (5) feel with a thick comfort layer reinforced with robust pocketed coils, both layers zoned to feel firmer and denser beneath heavier areas of your body.

How It Performed

Our tests show the EcoCloud provides adequate contouring for side sleepers while maintaining an even sleep surface for back and stomach sleepers. Ratings were particularly strong among our side and back sleepers weighing up to 230 pounds. We all noticed generous pushback around the midsection, but this didn’t affect cushioning from the thick latex comfort layer.

Temperature control, ease of movement, and edge support were some of the EcoCloud’s strongest performance areas during our tests. These are areas where latex hybrids typically stand out. The thick comfort layer and softer feel also earned the mattress high marks for pressure relief, an area where latex hybrids often underperform.

What It’s Made of

The EcoCloud contains two layers. The comfort layer consists of Talalay latex measuring 4 inches thick. Our testers noticed a highly responsive surface that also cushions and contours closely. The latex is divided into five different zones to ensure extra reinforcement around your midsection and softer cradling for lighter areas of your body. The mattress’ pocketed coils are zoned in similar fashion. Thicker coils also reinforce the perimeter to prevent excessive sinkage when you get in and out of bed. A cover made of a cotton-wool blend encases the mattress.

The cotton in the cover is GOTS-certified, and the wool it’s blended with is natural and sourced from New Zealand. The latex also holds a Rainforest Alliance certification, indicating the rubber trees used to produce the latex are sustainably grown and harvested.

A competitive price-point and free shipping throughout the contiguous U.S. make the EcoCloud a high-value option for organic mattress shoppers. WinkBeds’ sleep trial runs for 120 nights. If you decide to keep the mattress, you’ll also receive a lifetime warranty.

Many sleepers with back pain find relief through all-latex mattresses, which gently adapt to the body without the deep hug or sinkage of foam layers. The PlushBeds Botanical Bliss is an all-latex model available in multiple firmness and thickness levels, allowing you to choose the design best suited to your body type and primary sleep position.

How It Performed

We’ve personally tested each firmness and thickness option for the Botanical Bliss. Overall, models with a medium (5) feel earned their most favorable ratings from our testers weighing up to 230 pounds, particularly side and back sleepers. We attribute this to deep contouring and cushioning from the latex layers. The firm (7) feel was better suited to our testers who weigh more than 230 pounds, though back and stomach sleepers between 130 and 230 pounds also felt comfortable lying on these models.

Profile also played a role in our tests. The 9-inch and 10-inch models provided adequate support to our testers weighing up to 230 pounds. Those of us who weigh more preferred the added reinforcement of the 12-inch model. Since all layers of the Botanical Bliss are ventilated and the top layer is composed of moisture-wicking wool, we don’t expect bothersome heat retention to be an issue. The natural responsiveness of latex also makes the surface easy to move across, and the mattress should be suitably bouncy for most couples during sex.

What It’s Made of

The Botanical Bliss’ specific construction depends on the profile you choose. The 9-inch and 10-inch model contain three individual latex layers, and the latter has a slightly thicker top layer. The 12-inch model features four individual layers. All beds include a top layer of wool batting that adds an inch to the profile. The cover encasing the mattress is made of organic cotton. Please note this mattress is quite heavy, weighing more than 200 pounds in its thickest and largest designs.

The Botanical Bliss holds a wide array of eco-friendly certifications. All latex layers have earned a Global Organic Latex Standard (GOLS) certification. Likewise, the cotton cover and wool batting are GOTS-certified. Additionally, all three materials are certified as organic by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. A Forest Stewardship Council certification also ensures the rubber trees used to produce the latex are sustainably grown and cultivated.

The Botanical Bliss is available in nine sizes, including split queen, split king, and split California king for couples who share adjustable beds. Price-point varies by size and thickness. PlushBeds offers free shipping anywhere in the contiguous U.S. The company’s sleep trial spans 100 nights in length, and those who keep their mattress receive a warranty covering structural defects for up to 25 years.

Many latex hybrids on the market tend to be on the expensive side, but the Silk & Snow Organic is a notable exception. This mattress uses high-quality, organic materials that earned high ratings from our testers while keeping a lower-than-average price-point.

How It Performed

The mattress has a medium firm (6) feel that performed best among our team’s side and back sleepers. Our side sleepers between 130 and 230 pounds and back sleepers weighing up to 230 pounds were particularly impressed with the mattress’ cradling for pressure points and supportive coil system. Stomach sleepers who weigh less than 130 pounds may find the mattress comfortable, but those in other weight categories will probably sink too deeply.

Thanks to the use of breathable components like wool, latex, coils, and cotton, this is one of the coolest mattresses we’ve tested. Our heat guns detected minimal buildup on the surface. We also recommend the mattress if you and your partner value both responsiveness for sex and motion isolation. The latex comfort system absorbed a good amount of movement transfer and noise during our tests. Meanwhile, latex’s naturally bouncy feel made it easy to move across the mattress with little to no restriction.

What It’s Made of

A layer of Joma wool acts as a natural fire barrier while adding cushioning to the surface. Next is a thick layer of GOLS-certified organic Dunlop latex that gently cradles your body to alleviate pressure buildup. The support core features a pocketed coil system in a zoned configuration. Thinner coils are located beneath the head and foot of the mattress to cradle lighter areas of the body, while thicker coils in the center prevent midsection sagging. Extra coils line the perimeter of the mattress to bolster the edges, making it easier for you to sit or lie near the edges. A breathable cover made from GOTS-certified organic cotton encases the mattress.

Silk & Snow ships free to customers in the contiguous U.S. and provincial Canada. A 100-night sleep trial allows you to test the mattress and return it anytime after the 30-night break-in period for a full refund. The Silk & Snow Organic is backed by a 15-year manufacturer’s warranty.

The Latex for Less Hybrid Latex Mattress is a latex hybrid available in two firmness levels: medium (5) and firm (7). Both have an exceptionally responsive feel that earned high ratings in our ease of movement tests. This makes the mattress a great choice if you tend to toss and turn at night, and it holds a lower-than-average price-point compared to other mattresses made with organic materials.

How It Performed

Performance differs slightly depending on the firmness level you choose. The mid-range feel earned decent marks across sleeping position preferences, but it especially appealed to side sleepers between 130 and 230 pounds. Back and stomach sleepers weighing less than 130 pounds should also feel supported. Meanwhile, our back and stomach sleepers in other weight categories enjoyed the firmer model’s even sleep surface. Side sleepers weighing more than 230 pounds should also feel comfortable.

All models have a responsive feel and earned high ratings during our edge support tests. These mattresses are great choices if you and your partner prefer a bouncy surface for sex that’s easy to move across. Latex is a naturally breathable material on its own, but the addition of a cotton cover and wool comfort system further encourage airflow. Our temperature control tests found little to no heat retention on the surface.

What It’s Made of

Both models begin with a comfort layer of wool that gives the surface a plush feel and acts as a fire barrier. A Dunlop latex comfort layer cradles your body to alleviate pressure buildup while staying responsive. Pocketed coils make up the support core, reinforcing the sleep surface to prevent uncomfortable sagging. A breathable cover made from GOTS-certified organic cotton encases the mattress.

Latex for Less ships free to customers living in the contiguous U.S. Your purchase comes with a 120-night trial to test the mattress. If you decide to keep the Latex for Less Hybrid Latex Mattress, it is backed by a 20-year warranty against structural defects.

The Plank Firm Natural is an organic mattress with a lot to offer. The latex hybrid provides excellent support for fans of firm beds, but the standout feature is a reversible design that allows you to choose between two firmness levels. If you’re in the market for a supportive bed, you’ll have two strong options to choose from with this mattress.

How It Performed

Our test team rated the firmer side an 8 on our 10-point firmness scale, while the softer side was rated medium firm (6). We found the firm side was comfortable for most back sleepers over 130 pounds and stomach sleepers, since it offered sturdy support to keep the spine properly aligned. The medium firm side offered more contouring and was best suited to side sleepers and back sleepers who enjoy beds with some cushioning for pressure-sensitive areas like the shoulders, hips, and spine.

The mattress is made with latex and wool, which both have cooling properties, so we recommend this bed for sleepers who run hot. The coils also promote airflow and help keep the bed’s interior nicely ventilated. Thicker coils reinforce the mattress perimeter, giving it strong edge support. We found the surface very easy to move around on.

What It’s Made of

Both sides of the Plank Firm Natural have an organic cotton cover quilted with plush, breathable wool. The cotton is GOTS-certified to ensure it has met rigorous standards for organic sourcing. Next is a layer of Talalay latex that gives the surface a responsive feel. Between the two sides is a thick support core composed of pocketed coils that generates sturdy support while gently responding to your body.

The Plank Firm Natural ships free to addresses in the contiguous U.S. The mattress is backed by a 120-night sleep trial and a 10-year warranty.

Painful pressure points along the spine are a barrier to healthy sleep for many people. Mattresses that cushion the body tend to excel at pressure relief, but support is also key. With the Spindle Organic Latex Mattress, you can modify and adjust the feel whenever you wish. This ensures a comfortable balance of contouring and pushback every night, even if your weight or personal preferences change over time.

How It Performed

Each Organic Latex Mattress comes with medium soft (4) medium (5), and firm (7) latex inserts. These inserts are interchangeable within the mattress cover, allowing you to rearrange them and create your ideal firmness. We tested various configurations and found each one has a distinct feel. Our testers’ favorite configurations largely fell in line with their body types. Testers under 130 pounds preferred the medium soft insert on top, while those of us weighing at least 130 pounds preferred either the medium or firm insert on top – or both, in some cases.

The mattress earned high marks during our temperature control tests thanks to its cotton cover, moisture-wicking wool fire barrier, and ventilated latex layers. Since the latex is more responsive and less adaptive than memory foam, none of us sank too much or felt trapped while moving across the surface. We recommend the mattress to couples who need a mattress that reduces pressure and prefer a bouncy surface for sex.

What It’s Made of

The Organic Latex Mattress contains three latex inserts, each measuring 3 inches thick. The wool batting sewn onto the cotton cover adds an additional inch to the profile. A wraparound zipper allows you to open the mattress and rearrange the inserts as you see fit. The inserts are encased in cotton liners for easy adjustments. However, take caution when lifting the inserts as they can weigh up to 50 pounds apiece. GOTS and GOLS certifications ensure all of the mattress’ components come from sustainably sourced materials.

As part of Spindle’s Comfort Life program, you can purchase new latex inserts at a 30% discount up to 25 years after purchasing your Organic Latex Mattress. This can be particularly useful if you decide you want an even softer or firmer feel from your mattress than the three standard-issue inserts can provide. Shipping is free within the contiguous U.S., and all mattress orders include a generous year-long sleep trial.

Each sleep position has unique needs. If you primarily sleep on your back, you’ll likely prefer a mattress that cushions areas where pressure builds along the spine while also maintaining an even surface for your entire body. This description fits the Natural Escape to a tee. One of the most popular offerings from My Green Mattress, the Natural Escape offers a medium firm (6) feel and a zoned coil system to ensure even the heaviest areas of your body receive adequate support.

How It Performed

Our hands-on tests show the Natural Escape is best suited to side and back sleepers. In particular, our side sleepers weighing at least 130 pounds and back sleepers between 130 and 230 pounds were impressed by the mattress’ balanced construction. We noticed ample pushback around the middle and along the perimeter, where the support core’s lowest-gauge coils are located, but the surface was still somewhat adaptive and never felt overly stiff.

The reinforced perimeter also helped the Natural Escape ace our edge support and ease of movement tests. Based on these two factors and high marks in our temperature control tests, we also gave the mattress high marks for sex.

What It’s Made of

The Natural Escape’s construction is typical of other latex hybrids we’ve tested. Individual components include a cotton cover, wool fire barrier, Dunlop latex comfort layer, and pocketed coil support core. However, our team was impressed with how precisely the support core is zoned. The thinnest coils – with a gauge of 15.5 – are located beneath the head and legs for gentle cradling, 14.5-gauge coils reinforce the midsection, and ultra-sturdy 13.5-gauge coils limit sinkage along the perimeter. The cotton and wool are GOTS-certified, and the latex is GOLS-certified.

The Natural Escape is reasonably priced compared to the average latex hybrid, and shipping is free throughout the contiguous U.S. Each order includes a 120-night sleep trial, during which you can return the mattress for free after testing it for at least 30 nights. My Green Mattress backs the Natural Escape with a 20-year warranty against structural defects.
