Organic Latex Mattresses - Information Overload

[phoenix]

Hi edgerlys,

I have been looking mostly at Cozy Pure and Spindle but keep finding articles that state organic wool covers cannot truly be organic because they cannot sustain the current fire test which all mattresses without a doctor’s prescription are required to meet. Can someone help me discern this info?

You are getting some misinformation here that isn’t correct (see post #2 here).

It seems like anyone can call a mattress organic if any component of the mattress is organic (i.e. just the cover) but I feel like these two companies are super trustworthy. We really like the all natural latex mattress at Spindle and Neil is extremely helpful but all of these other articles are making me feel like we will never know if a mattress is truly organic or not. I think my brain is just on information overload. I would love some help and advice from anyone out there! Thanks!!

You can read more about the different “levels” of organic mattresses and materials in post #2 here and the other posts it links to. I would make sure you ask yourself why organic materials are important to you and which of the materials in a mattress you prefer to have an organic certification (or if you are looking for an organic mattress that is certified as a complete mattress) because an organic certification doesn’t necessarily mean the material is any “safer” or performs any better than the same material that isn’t certified as organic.
