GREEN MATTRESS SHOPPING 101: IS IT REALLY ORGANIC?

It’s easy to get confused when shopping for a natural latex mattress. Terms such as “green mattress," “latex mattress,” and even “chemical-free latex mattress” are everywhere, but what do they mean? The choices seem endless.

If you’re looking for the safest natural latex mattress for you and your family, only one description will do: certified organic. Only certified organic products are required to meet strict standards that guarantee freedom from pesticide treatments, flame retardants, and other chemical hazards in a latex mattress.

While they may sound comforting, terms such as “green mattress” are just words. “Green mattress” carries no consumer requirement, and that means you may end up paying more and getting less when it comes to organic purity. And who wants to do that?

Lifekind^® makes "green latex mattress" products the way consumers want us to.

ORGANIC LATEX MATTRESSES: WHAT’S IN A NAME?

Currently, no certification for a “green mattress” or even an “organic mattress” exists to prove that a mattress is what it claims to be. That’s why we hold our materials, factory, and finished products up to scrutiny by independent certifiers.

The real, 100%-natural rubber latex used in our natural latex mattress is grown overseas and imported in sealed containers, so there’s no danger of contamination from the fumigation that can take place when raw materials are imported. (Most “green mattresses” are made with a blend of synthetic and natural rubber.) It’s then made into a natural latex mattress core for us here in the U.S. Our organic cotton and wool are U.S.-grown as well, so there’s nothing to worry about there either.

Our natural latex mattresses are made in the only certified-organic mattress factory in existence, right here in Northern California. Our truly green mattress products are certified organic as a facility by Oregon Tilth. Ask anybody familiar with their requirements, and they’ll tell you that’s quite an achievement.

Finally, our natural latex mattresses are GREENGUARD certified to be virtually free of chemical offgassing. Our natural latex mattresses also pass flammability without the use of chemical flame retardants or arsenic-containing boric acid – something you won’t find in a typical green mattress.
