Best Organic and Non-Toxic Mattresses of 2024

Our Expert’s Take

If you’re a side sleeper, your mattress should be all about pressure relief. If you want something organic that will also relieve pressure on your shoulders and hips, the Nolah Natural is going to be a smart buy. It is softer than the PlushBeds Botanical Bliss and features organic wool and Talalay latex foam that will contour to your pressure points. But, thanks to Nolah’s proprietary HDMax TriZone support coil system, you will still get plenty of support. If your mattress is too soft, you could get out of alignment and deal with some pain issues down the line. The Nolah Natural will relieve pressure where you need it while still keeping you nice and supported.

What We Love About the Nolah Natural

• It offers excellent pressure relief for side sleepers. It scored a 6/10 on our firmness scale, which is softer than the industry average. You should feel little to no pressure on your shoulders and hips.
• If you deal with back pain, the Nolah Natural should be a big help. While it is softer than average, it will still keep you in good alignment while you sleep. This can prevent and ease back pain.
• Like the other mattresses on this list, it is eco-friendly and green. It was third-party tested to ensure its materials are technically organic.

What to Keep in Mind About the Nolah Natural

• Stomach sleepers won’t feel supported on the Nolah Natural. If you’re a stomach sleeper, you are going to want to find a firmer mattress. If your mattress is too soft, you’ll feel your hips sink down into the mattress, and this can cause back pain and other issues.
• It doesn’t have a memory foam feel. Memory foam is an incredibly popular mattress material and, if you’re used to that quicksand feel, you’re not going to get it with the Nolah Natural.
• It is a bouncy mattress and doesn’t cut down on motion transfer. If you sleep with a partner, you will feel every move they make during the night. If they like to toss and turn, get ready for some long nights.

Other Customer Reviews

On the Nolah website, the Natural tied with the PlushBeds with a score of 4.9/10. Unsurprisingly, side sleeping customers were big fans, but some back sleepers and stomach sleepers said it was too soft for them.

Our Expert’s Take

We’ve offered up a great option for side sleepers with the Nolah Natural, but what if you switch positions at night? Well, if you’re a tosser and turner, the WinkBeds EcoCloud will be the organic mattress for you. The star of the WinkBeds EcoCloud is a 4″ layer of Talalay latex. In addition to being naturally cooling, this material is extremely responsive, which makes it easy to switch positions while you sleep. The mattress also boasts a medium firmness, which is just what combo sleepers should be looking for. When we tested the mattress, we thought it was an especially good fit for back and side sleeping. Some stomach sleepers will be okay on the EcoCloud, but if you need extra support, take a look at the firmer Awara mattress.

What We Love About the WinkBeds EcoCloud

• Hot sleepers rejoice. We’ve got another great mattress for you. The WinkBeds is extremely breathable, so it won’t trap your body heat and make you feel all hot and sweaty during the night.
• Get ready to get in the zone. Yep, the WinkBeds EcoCloud features zoned coils that give you comfort and support right where you need it. Specifically, it is firmer toward the center of the mattress, so you should feel more support under your lumbar area.
• We hope you like long-term relationships. The EcoCloud boasts some high-end, durable materials, so you won’t be saying goodbye to this mattress anytime soon.

What to Keep in Mind About the WinkBeds EcoCloud

• Sorry stomach sleepers, you miss out again. Some of you will get enough support on the WinkBeds EcoCloud, but if you just sleep on your stomach, keep hunting for that firmer mattress.
• Apologies for the broken record but, again, you’re not going to get a memory foam feel with this mattress. If contouring is important to you, memory foam is the name of the game.
• While it will be a long-lasting mattress, don’t be surprised if you get sticker shock. The WinkBeds EcoCloud, like other organic mattresses, is on the pricier side.

Other Customer Reviews

The WinkBeds EcoCloud didn’t score quite as high with customers when compared to the PlushBeds and Nolah mattresses. Still, 4.8/5 isn’t bad. On the WinkBeds website, customers said the EcoCloud was great for back and side sleeping, and even after a few years, it was still comfortable. However, some complained that the edge support was not up to snuff.

Our Expert’s Take

If you’re in the market for something more luxurious, the Saatva Latex Hybrid is a great choice. It uses high-quality materials such as supportive coils, Talalay latex, wool, and organic cotton, giving it a high-end look and feel. If you’ve ever slept in a nice hotel, the Saatva offers a similar feel to that. In addition, it scored a 7.5/10 on during our firmness tests, which is firmer than average. This made it a great fit for back sleeping and stomach sleeping. However, the firmer Saatva Latex Hybrid felt too firm for side sleeping. Side sleepers who want something will prefer the Nolan Natural, mentioned above.

Why We Love the Saatva Latex Hybrid

• Its latex and wool are both certified organic, and it was third-party tested to make sure it features no toxic chemicals. You can rest easy and cleanly on the Saatva Latex Hybrid.
• If you’re looking for firmness, you’ve found it with this mattress. It is a whole point firmer than average and offers great overall support. You stomach and back sleepers should take note.
• And, we’ve got another cooling mattress here. The organic cotton and organic wool make the top of the mattress breathable, while Talalay latex prevents the mattress from trapping your body heat.

What to Keep in Mind About the Saatva Latex Hybrid

• Side sleepers will want to keep rolling. This firm mattress just won’t cut it when it comes to pressure relief. You’ll feel a buildup of pressure around your shoulders and hips, and this could have you waking up with aches and pains.
• Like many other latex hybrid mattresses, the Saatva is not cheap. If your budget is tighter, you can opt for a different mattress or sign up for a payment plan with Saatva.
• Surprise, surprise, this latex hybrid doesn’t have a slow-moving feel. Again, memory foam is your friend if you like something with contouring.

Other Customer Reviews

On the Saatva website, the latex hybrid scored a 4.8/5. Many were happy with the buying process and overall customer service experience. However, some said the white glove delivery process wasn’t what they expected, and others said the mattress was too firm.

Our Expert’s Take

The Awara is another latex hybrid mattress with durable materials, boasting 4″ of Dunlop latex and over 9″ of pocketed coils. This design makes the Awara ideal for stomach sleepers. It is firmer than average and will provide excellent under your hips. When we tested the Awara mattress, we experience great overall support and did not feel our hips sinking in whatsoever. However, being a firmer mattress, we were not fans of the Awara for side sleeping. Read about the Nolah Natural above if you prefer to sleep on your side.

What We Love About the Awara

• The Awara will also be a good mattress for heavy people. Larger people require more support than lightweight and average weight sleepers, but the coils and latex will be able to handle the extra weight.
• When you buy the Awara mattress, you won’t need to buy a mattress for many years. This mattress is durable, and if you take care of it, it will serve you well for over ten years.
• If you like a firm mattress, look no further. The Awara scored a 7.5/10, which is a whole point firmer than average. You won’t be lacking support on the Awara.

What to Keep in Mind About the Awara

• Lightweight people won’t find what they are looking for. If you weigh less than 130 lb, and you don’t want a super firm mattress, the Awara will not be right for you. You won’t compress the mattress much, so it could feel firmer to you than it did to us.
• Side sleepers will need a softer mattress. If you’re a side sleeper, you need something to relieve pressure on your joints. The Awara won’t be able to provide that.
• Of course, we need to chat about memory foam again. This and the other latex hybrid mattresses aren’t going to give you the slow-moving feel you’ll get with memory foam.

Other Customer Reviews

Customers on the Awara website gave it a 4.4/5. While many Awara customers loved its cooling and comfort, others said the mattress was either too firm or too soft for their situation.

Our Expert’s Take

Helix is a company known for its flexibility and mattress customization. Now, they’re in the latex game with the Birch, a hybrid mattress with high-end components. It contains Talalay latex, organic cotton, and individually wrapped coils. These materials make it an excellent mattress for back sleepers, providing a balanced feel. During our tests, the mattress let our hips sink in just the right amount, while we also got the proper amount of support. The mattress is also very bouncy, so if you do switch positions, it shouldn’t be a problem. And, one of its biggest selling points is the price. While not cheap, it is certainly more affordable than many of the organic mattresses available today.

What We Love About the Birch

• It is a firmer mattress that will work well for both back and stomach sleepers. But, if you’re a side sleeper, you can add a Birch pillow-top to soften things up a bit.
• If you’re a bigger person, you should still get enough support on the Birch. It is on the firmer end and features some durable, supportive materials.
• Hot sleepers are going to do well on the majority of the mattresses on this list, and the Birch is no exception. It features breathable materials that will keep you cool all night.

What to Keep in Mind About the Birch

• If you like something super soft, you’re not going to get it with the standard Birch mattress. Again, if you like something softer, you can add the pillow-top. That will make things softer, but it still might feel too firm for some.
• When you lie on the Birch, it’s going to feel like you’re sleeping on top of the mattress. If you prefer to sink into your mattress, you should find a softer mattress with some slow-moving foam in it.
• Do you like to bounce on your bed? We hope so. If you don’t, the responsive Birch won’t be for you. It is very bouncy, and this feel isn’t for everyone.

Other Customer Reviews

The Birch scored a 4.7/5 with customers on the Birch website. Many were pleased with the organic materials, but some said the mattress was too firm for them.

Our Expert’s Take

The Brooklyn Bedding EcoSleep mattress is our favorite organic mattress for hot sleepers because of its latex hybrid design. Organic and latex mattresses, in general, don’t trap much heat, but the addition of coils in the EcoSleep construction makes it extra breathable. This mattress also features Joma wool and organic cotton, which make the top of the mattress feel very cool. When we tested the EcoSleep, none of our testers overheated. The also flippable, so you can choose between two firmness levels. In our experience, the medium-firm side is fantastic for back sleeping, and the firm side suits stomach sleepers quite well. Neither side will be soft enough for side sleepers, however. If you sleep in this position, you will need a softer mattress.

What We Love About the EcoSleep

• Its materials and flippable design make it a very durable mattress. If you need to soften or firm up your mattress after a few years, you can simply flip the mattress over.
• While the other mattresses on this list are cooling, this should be one of the most cooling. Multiple layers of latex and the addition of Joma wool will prevent the mattress from holding onto your body heat.
• The Zenhaven’s flippable design also makes it a good fit for multiple sleeping positions. Back sleepers and stomach sleepers wiill find what they need on at least one side of the mattress.

What to Keep in Mind About the EcoSleep

• Neither side will offer good pressure relief for side sleepers. Even the Medium-Firm side scored an 8/10, which is too firm for side sleeping.
• If you are simply a fan of soft mattresses, you’ll want to keep looking. Both sides of this mattress are firmer than average and won’t let you sink in too far.
• Like the other latex mattresses on this list, the EcoSleep is nice and bouncy. Again, this is a preference thing, but if you like to sink into your mattress, the EcoSleep won’t be for you.

Other Customer Reviews

On the Brooklyn Bedding website, the EcoSleep got an average score of 4.7/5 with users. Many EcoSleep owners praised it for being a good bargain, but some complained it was not as firm as advertised.

Our Expert’s Take

We’ve mentioned quite a few hybrid mattresses on this list, but one of our all-time faves is the Birch Luxe Natural. We graded it a 7.5 out of 10 on our firmness scale, as it has a sturdy feel. Our mattress testers rested on the mattress in every position, and they all found it to feel great while on their backs and their stomachs. However, it was too firm for every one of them while they rested on their sides. In addition to being a good choice for back and stomach sleepers, the Birch Luxe Natural is also a great option for those who sleep hot; we awarded it a perfect score on our temperature regulation test. 

What We Love About the Birch Luxe

• The Birch Luxe Natural has fantastic edge support. Even when our heaviest mattress tester sat and rested along the edge of the mattress, he experienced no sagging underneath his weight. This is great news for sleepers who like to spread out and utilize every inch of the mattress surface.
• We’ve tested many organic mattresses and find them to consistently contain some of the most high-quality, durable materials we’ve come across. We scored the Birch Luxe Natural a 4.5 out of 5 on our durability test, indicating a mattress that should last at least 10 years if properly cared for. 

What to Keep in Mind About the Birch Luxe

• Like many mattresses on this list, the Birch Luxe Natural is very expensive. The original Birch is much more affordable if you’re shopping on a budget. 
• We scored the Birch Luxe Natural a 3 out of 5 on our motion isolation test. When we placed a glass of water on the mattress and pushed into the surface around it, we noticed a lot of movement on the surface of the water. Basically, this indicates that you will be more likely to be disturbed by your partner’s movements, if you sleep with a partner. 

Other Customer Reviews

It’s difficult to determine the exact rating of the Birch Luxe Natural on the company website, as it averages together the score of all Birch products. However, of the reviews that call out the Birch Luxe specifically, they all seem to be quite positive, with one user even calling the bed the “best mattress we’ve ever had.”

Our Expert’s Take

When we talk about a mattress being good for couples, we’re typically talking about one of two factors: motion isolation or responsiveness. The Bear Natural doesn’t excel at the former, as its latex layers are quite springy and don’t absorb motion well. However, this mattress shines when it comes to responsiveness. Our testers found it very bouncy and easy to move around on, which makes it a great mattress for sex, or even just for couples who shift and move around throughout the night. 

What We Love About the Bear Natural

• Every one of our mattress testers, from lightweight to heavyweight, felt great when they rested on their backs. The medium-firm feel of the Bear Natural caters well to back sleepers of all sizes, as it provides just the right amount of give for your hips to sink comfortably into the mattress.
• Another important factor for couples is edge support. Because of the Bear Natural’s reinforced perimeter, our testers were able to comfortably rest on the edge of the bed without it sagging under their weight. This means that you and your partner can take advantage of every inch of the mattress surface. 

What to Keep in Mind About the Bear Natural

• As is the case with many latex, organic mattresses, the Bear Natural is very expensive. 
• The Bear Natural is too firm for most side sleepers. Only our heavyweight tester felt comfortable on their side, everyone else felt a lot of pressure around their hips and shoulders. 

Other Customer Reviews

The Bear Natural is a new product, so there are no customer reviews at this time.

Our Expert’s Take

The Avocado Green is a uniquely all-organic mattress built to last. Our testers rated it 5/5 for durability, recognizing the Avocado as a luxury mattress long-term investment. Due to its higher-end materials, durable construction, and high-standard manufacturing, our tester explained their score by saying, “We expect it to last at least 10 years, which is about three years longer than the lifespan of a traditional bed-in-a-box mattress. All in all, the Avocado mattress is a great investment.”

The Avocado Green is made in the USA under strict manufacturing standards, resulting in a GREENGUARD Gold certification, Environmental Working Group certification, and Oeko Tex Standard 100 certification, among many others. These certifications attest to a higher standard of manufacturing, which both recognizes a less volatile production process and a more toxin-free hypoallergenic build. In addition to its durable build, the mattress uses recycled 100% steel coils for its innerspring layer and exclusively certified all-organic latex, wool, and cotton for its comfort layers. 

In addition to durability, our testers wanted to get the scoop on its overall performance when supporting sleepers. The Avocado was found to be great for all back sleepers and most side sleepers and demonstrated impressive orthopedic support (4.5/5) when our tester rested on it. Also, the airy organic cotton, moisture-wicking wool, breathable latex and innerspring layers all work together to keep sleepers super cool and comfortable. Our tester gave the Avocado a 4/5 for its temperature regulation. One more score that stood out, likely due to the broader durability of the mattress, was its edge support (4.5/5). Testers said that couples should be able to enjoy the full surface area of this mattress — no need to sleep squished toward the center.

The Avocado Green shows how durability and eco-friendliness can go hand in hand while still potentially offering sleepers a luxury-grade level of sleep.

What We Love About the Avocado Green

• Testers estimated a good 10 years of use with the Avocado Green, which is three years longer than the industry average.
• The Avocado Green is certifiably non-toxic and organic, making it one of the most eco-friendly mattresses available today.
• The Avocado Green is available in firm, medium, and plush firmness options, helping you find the right fit for your sleeping patterns.

What to Keep in Mind About the Avocado Green

• Due to its latex layers, the Avocado Green has great responsiveness and bounce, but this will likely lack the “sinking” feeling many fans of memory foam seek. If this is important to you, you may want to opt for an all-foam bed without latex.

Other Customer Reviews

The Avocado Green has nearly 42,000 reviews, resulting in a 4.6/5 score. One verified buyer of a king-size Avocado wrote: “Slept on our new king-size Avocado Green Mattress last night — it’s so comfortable with the right amount of support and soft touch.”

Our Expert’s Take

With quality materials and excellent construction, the PlushBeds Botanical Bliss is sure to make you feel like royalty, which is why it’s our top pick for the best organic mattress. Organic cotton and New Zealand wool cover the top of the mattress, followed by naturally cooling Talalay latex, and durable Dunlop latex. This all-latex bed comes in two firmnesses, Medium and Medium-Firm, so you can choose what works best for your sleeping needs and preferences. We personally reviewed the Medium model, and it felt great in multiple sleeping positions. That being said, if you just sleep on your stomach, even the Medium-Firm model won’t be firm enough. Take a look at the Awara mattress further down this list if you are primarily a stomach sleeper.

What We Love About the PlushBeds Botanical Bliss

• The PlushBeds features eco-friendly, green materials. “Green-washing” is a major issue with many mattress companies, but the PlushBeds was third-party tested to ensure it adheres to organic mattress standards. Based on our research, this is a true organic mattress.
• You get firmness options with the PlushBeds mattress. Whenever you’re shopping for a new mattress, you always want to think about what firmness will be right for your sleeping position. Side sleepers and lightweight people will prefer the Medium model, while average weight combo and back sleepers will like the Medium-Firm model.
• The PlushBeds will help you sleep nice and cool. Cotton, wool, and latex are naturally breathable, cooling materials. If you sleep like an oven, you can cool things down with this mattress.

What to Keep in Mind About the PlushBeds Botanical Bliss

• Like most latex mattresses, the PlushBeds doesn’t have the slow-moving feel that so many people love. If you like to slowly sink into your mattress, you’ll want to find a memory foam mattress. Just keep in mind that memory foam mattresses sleep hot and aren’t as responsive as latex mattresses.
• And, like many all-natural latex mattresses, the PlushBeds Botanical Bliss isn’t exactly cheap. The PlushBeds will be a durable, long-lasting mattress, but you’re going to pay more upfront.

Other Customer Reviews

On the PlushBeds website, users gave the Botanical Bliss an average score of 4.9/5. Many happy customers praised the bed’s cooling qualities. Back sleepers and side sleepers were especially pleased with their purchase, but some complained it was heavy and didn’t have the best edge support.
