Organic Mattress Sale: 20 Percent Off Essentia Beds

An organic mattress is typically made from wool, natural latex, and cotton, using chemical-free construction practices. When testing organic mattresses, we look for a GOTS certification (Global Organic Textile Standard), which uses third parties to independently verify that standards are met and that the cotton is grown and processed sustainably and organically. The latex certification is GOLS (Global Organic Latex Standard) and is essentially the same as GOTS, but for latex instead of cotton, with the entire supply chain held to rigorous organic standards (not just the final bed).

Essentia—my favorite organic mattress brand I've tested—uses a high-density organic latex core without springs, wool, or fiber batting to reduce dust mites and lessen allergy symptoms. Plus, the Tatami mattress style I slept on uses breathable organic latex foam to improve natural airflow, unlike traditional memory foam, which can be quite dense and retain body heat.
