Best Organic Mattress

Latex hybrids are among the most expensive mattress types on average, with many exceeding the $2,000 mark in a queen size. As the name implies, Latex for Less specializes in mattresses with relatively affordable sticker prices. The company’s Hybrid Latex Mattress delivers the responsive, long-lasting design sleepers expect from this type of mattress, but at a cost that falls well below average.

How Does It Feel?

Dunlop latex forms the mattress’ comfort layer, creating a light bounce when you get in and out of bed. Thick pocketed coils enhance the responsive feel. Our testers noted excellent ease of movement when scooting across the surface and changing positions. While this buoyancy may limit motion isolation and lead to disruptive transfer for couples, it also prevents the excessive sinkage that can occur with memory foam or polyfoam hybrids.

You can choose from two firmness levels. If you opt for medium (5), the latex conforms somewhat closely without hugging too much. The firm (7) feel contours to a minimal extent, so this is the better option if you need more support and less cushioning from your sleep surface. Both versions of the mattress are padded with wool directly beneath the surface, resulting in a bit of plushness.

Why We Like It

Latex hybrids are ideal for anyone who enjoys the sturdy support of pocketed coils, but dislikes the deep hug and slow response of foam. The medium-feel design earned its most favorable ratings from side sleepers between 130 and 230 pounds, and back and stomach sleepers under 130 pounds. Due to its more supportive feel, the firm design was more comfortable for our side sleepers weighing more than 230 pounds, and back and stomach sleepers of at least 130 pounds.

Temperature control proved a major strength of the mattress during our tests. Moisture-wicking wool beneath the surface, ventilated latex in the comfort system, and coils promoting steady circulation all combine to deliver consistent cooling and thermoregulation. Another breathable component is the cover, which is made from organic cotton. The cotton and wool have each earned certification from the Global Organic Textile Standard, a leading authority for certifying sustainably sourced fabrics. Likewise, the latex layer is certified by the Global Organic Latex Standard.

In addition to reasonable pricing for all mattresses, Latex for Less offers free ground shipping to customers in the contiguous U.S. The company’s sleep trial runs for 120 nights. If you choose to keep the mattress after the trial ends, you’ll also receive a 20-year warranty against material and structural defects.

While mattress comfort is subjective and entirely dependent on personal needs and preferences, some models offer more versatility and broader appeal to a wider range of sleepers. The Happsy is a latex hybrid available in two firmness levels, medium soft (4) and medium firm (6). The former features a pillow-top that provides deep cushioning, while the latter contains a single comfort layer for gentle contouring without too much sink.

How Does It Feel?

The Happsy begins with a layer of wool batting. This material serves as a natural fire barrier, but also has moisture-wicking properties to keep you comfortable on hot or humid nights. A latex comfort layer conforms to your figure while feeling somewhat responsive, resulting in a light bounce when you get into bed. If you opt for the pillow-top, you’ll notice extra plushness as your body settles. The support core contains pocketed coils that stabilize the mattress well and reduce sinkage along the edges.

Why We Like It

Our hands-on tests indicate the Happsy is a great choice for hot sleepers. In addition to the wool batting layer, the latex retains a minimal amount of heat and the coils promote consistent airflow. Another cooling component is the cover, which is composed of breathable organic cotton. Ease of movement was another standout performance area during our tests. The coils and latex both deliver plenty of pushback, so you shouldn’t encounter much resistance when moving across your sleep surface.

Whether or not you select the pillow-top should depend on your body type and sleep position. Side sleepers on our testing team weighing up to 230 pounds preferred the additional cushioning, as did back and stomach sleepers under 130 pounds. Our testers who weigh more found the Happsy more comfortable without the pillow-top.

The mattress should appeal to customers who prioritize eco-friendly products. The organic cotton cover and organic wool fire barrier have both received certification from the Global Organic Textile Standard. Likewise, the latex is certified by the Global Organic Latex Standard.

The cost of your Happsy depends on size and pillow-top inclusion, but the mattress is competitively priced and ground shipping is free of charge within the contiguous U.S. Your purchase comes with a sleep trial that runs for 120 nights. If you decide to keep the mattress, you’ll also receive a warranty covering structural defects for up to 20 years.

Featuring an adjustable design, the Spindle Organic Latex Mattress offers sleepers a choice of firmness levels. You can choose between medium (5) or firm (7) feels, catering to a wide variety of sleepers.

How Does It Feel?

The 10-inch mattress contains a zippered GOTS-certified cotton knit cover that is breathable and cool to the touch. The cover is quilted with an inch of GOTS-certified wool batting that adds some cushioning while acting as a natural fire barrier. Two Dunlop latex layers with medium (5) feels offer great cradling for pressure points. Meanwhile, the third layer has a firm (7) feel that supports the body and helps you maintain healthy sleep posture. You can unzip the cover and rearrange the layers to obtain the feel you find most suitable.

Why We Like It

Side sleepers and those under 130 pounds may prefer the medium layer on top. Our testers who use this position enjoyed the extra cushioning for their shoulders and hips. Meanwhile, placing the firm layer on top results in a more supportive surface for back and stomach sleepers or those over 230 pounds.

Because it’s made almost entirely of latex, the Spindle Organic Latex Mattress had a responsive feel that made it easy for our testers to switch positions. Breathable components like latex, cotton, and wool help mitigate heat retention, earning the mattress high marks in our temperature control tests. The aerated latex also promotes airflow to help keep the mattress cool.

The latex is certified organic by the Global Organic Latex Standard (GOLS). Spindle offers free shipping to customers in the contiguous U.S. The company also offers a 365-night sleep trial and a 10-year limited warranty. For 25 years after the original purchase date, customers can also purchase single replacement latex layers at a discounted price.

The Brentwood Oceano is a 14-inch hybrid mattress with a medium soft (4) feel. With a layer of memory foam, ease of movement, and coil construction that allows for breathability, the Brentwood Oceano is likely to suit side sleepers under 230 pounds who prefer a balance of contouring and responsiveness.

How Does It Feel?

A Tencel cover encases the mattress. This smooth plant-based fabric is made using a process designed to minimize environmental waste. A GOTS-certified organic wool layer acts as a non-chemical flame barrier and temperature regulator. This is followed by a layer of polyester and silk fibers meant to add airiness.

The principal comfort layer consists of medium-density memory foam that allows some sinkage, providing contouring and pressure relief. This memory foam is partially made using soy-based polypol, and it features an open-cell construction with gel infusions intended to reduce heat retention. Beneath this layer is a 2.5-inch layer of microcoils for added bounce and breathability.

A 1-inch polyfoam layer provides a transition to the pocketed coil support core. The coils are 8 inches tall and divided into seven zones with a reinforced perimeter. A final layer of polyfoam rounds out the base.

Why We Like It

The mattress is GREENGUARD Gold certified for low emissions. Because it’s on the softer side, the Brentwood Oceano was most suitable for our testers who weigh less than 130 pounds. For our side-sleeping testers, the plush memory foam provided excellent pressure relief. With its responsive coil layers, the mattress didn’t cause the “stuck” feeling that can sometimes occur with memory foam. The coils also help strengthen the edges and keep heat buildup to a minimum.

Brentwood Home ships the mattress for free in the contiguous U.S. and offers a 365-night trial with a 30-night break-in period. The Oceano also includes a 25-year limited warranty. The company offsets its carbon emissions and donates a portion of each mattress sale to the National Forest Foundation.

Shoppers can select a medium (5) or a medium firm (6) feel when ordering the Eco Terra Hybrid Latex Mattress. Both models are 11 inches thick.

How Does It Feel?

Each model features a GOTS-certified organic cotton cover, a layer of GOTS-certified organic wool, and 3 inches of Talalay latex. The latex gently cradles your body to relieve pressure, making you feel like you’re sleeping on the mattress, rather than in it. The support core is composed of upcycled steel pocketed coils. These feature reinforced edges and additional support in the center to promote spinal alignment.

Why We Like It

We found that the medium firm option worked well for most sleep positions and body types. This option kept our testers mostly “on” as opposed to “in” the bed, preventing excessive sinkage. In contrast, the medium feel delivered more pressure relief for our side and back sleepers under 230 pounds.

With its combination of wool, latex, and coils, the Eco Terra Hybrid Latex Mattress is designed to reduce heat retention overnight. The mattress is made without chemical adhesives and meets strict OEKO-TEX Standard 100 criteria for levels of harmful substances.

Eco Terra offers free shipping in the contiguous U.S. Shoppers can return the mattress for a full refund 30 to 90 days after purchasing if they are not satisfied. The mattress is backed by a 15-year limited warranty.
