Is there an organic mattress whose cotton, latex or wool is NOT from India or Pakistan? And does anyone know if the cotton used in Avocado or plushbeds where it is from and if from India or Pakistan they are from farms that are owned/co-owned or managed by the brand directly? Seems like it is purchased from indpendent suppliers but can’t get an answer from them or get conflicting answers from their support. The reason is that there was a large expose that majority of the organic cotton from India is fraudulent and not organic and GOTs even did a press release that they had certified when it was fraud, nytimes article etc. Farmers in India are unknown to the fraud thats happening by middlemen and hence was hoping someone might know. Reaching out to the mattress brands has ended in multiple days of conflicting answers or vague answers like “we are GOTs certified etc etc”. So hoping someone can help or point to a mattress whose cotton is not from India or if it is from India then is a farm they directly manage, own or co-own. The only one I was able to get a confirmed answer was Naturepedic who sources all their cotton from USA

Hey csmat!
If I’m not mistaken @My_Green_Mattress sources their cotton from Fort Wayne, Indiana.
Have you had a chance to browse their products yet?
Avocado sources from India, Turkey, and the US. So, a mix.
It’s my understanding that PlushBeds sources in the US only.

My green mattress sources from Pakistan which has the same issues as India. i emailed them and they said Pakistan. Plushbeds is USA and Naturepedic are USA also. Avacado cotton is India only for the mattress.
