The Best Organic Mattresses of 2024

Not only is the Avocado Green Mattress one of the best mattresses you can buy, but it's also certified by GOTS and GOLS, so you know the entire manufacturing process follows strict standards. It's fairly firm — the brand calls it a 7 out of 10 — but you can opt for a medium or soft feel for an extra cost. Plus, the brand also makes a vegan version without wool, an entirely latex version without springs that feels even firmer and a less expensive hybrid model with fewer layers. A nice perk is that Avocado offers an extra-long trial period, so you have up until a year to return it.

Who it's best for: Shoppers who like the floating feel of latex and want a hybrid that conforms to their bodies without sinking in under their weight.

Tester notes: Our panel underscored the comfort, support and excellent sleep quality. They noticed how well it distributes their body weight to keep them in alignment, and most say it's better than any mattress they've slept on in the past. Users also told us it was well worth the cost. In fact, one even said, "For the price, I am just blown away," while another shared, "I like that it's made of organic and natural materials, that it's extremely comfortable and that it's held up even after two years, when other expensive mattresses we've purchased were already showing signs that they'd need to be replaced."

READ OUR FULL REVIEW: Avocado's Green Mattress is the Best Organic Mattress on the Market

Organic mattresses often come with a high price tag of several thousands of dollars due to higher production costs (especially compared to memory foam beds). Despite that, this certified organic pick excelled in consumer tests without costing an arm and a leg. It's offered in three levels of firmness, including firm, which is priced at just $1,000 for a Queen size mattress. The mattress comes boxed, and while latex mattresses are notoriously heavy, this model is lighter than others we've tested, making set-up a little less taxing.

Who it's best for: Price-conscious users who want an organic mattress that doesn't compromise on comfort. The medium firm model was also well received by back sleepers and couples in our tests.

Tester notes: Finding a good budget-friendly mattress, especially a fully organic one, is no feat, but our consumer testers were impressed. Several testers appreciated the springy, supportive feel of the latex, but noted that the motion isolation wasn't as good as other latex beds they've tried. Still, one reviewer said, "It has made two picky mattress testers happy!" and had no issue using it on her adjustable bed.

Though it doesn't have any added cooling technology (which typically isn't found in organic mattresses), Birch's construction provides good breathability, and testers said they maintained comfortable temperatures while sleeping on it. It's also designed to ergonomically cushion your pressure points and uses Talalay latex for an airy, cushiony feel.

Who it's best for: Hot sleepers looking for a more breathable organic mattress. It has a versatile medium firmness, but side sleepers can opt to add a topper for added plushness.

Tester notes: Besides its comfort and support, our testers highlighted the breathability. One found it more cool than her old latex mattress, while another noticed that she doesn't overheat on this mattress the way she did with more traditional beds. She noted, "It helps me maintain an even temperature, which in turn makes for a great night's sleep!" Others pointed out the unique texture of the latex, with one sharing, "I feel supported and cradled, but not like I’m sinking in." However, some testers reported that there wasn't much edge support.

A good side-sleeper mattress should offer pressure relief to avoid putting excess weight on your shoulders and hips, and this model stands out for its foam-like feel that conforms to the shape of your body. For a few hundred dollars more, you can add its coordinating mattress topper made with 2 inches of soft latex. Another perk: This model is available on Amazon as a compressed mattress in a box that ships within days for DIY assembly.

Who it's best for: Side sleepers who love the bouncy feel of latex and need cushioning around key areas, like the shoulders or hips, to maintain a neutral alignment.

Tester notes: This model gets glowing reviews from those who own it. One tester shared, "I love the way I feel hugged by this mattress without feeling like I’m sinking into it. After several years, I don’t find it to be sagging or less comfortable over time." Another noted, "The plush, contouring, pressure-relieving feel was really comfortable, especially with the topper. It felt really good for side sleeping." Note: This one had less edge support than other models on the list.

This mattress from My Green Mattress starts at just $799 for a twin. It's got a firm yet contouring feel using coils, latex, wool and cotton that's ideal for kids, but will also work for adults who are looking to save on an organic bed. While many kid-specific mattresses are only available for smaller beds, this one comes in seven sizes including Queen and King. It does, however, have fewer coils than other hybrid picks.

Who it's best for: Parents of kids who prefer natural non-toxic materials or young adults on a budget. For adults willing to pay a little more, the brand also has the Natural Escape mattress, which is made with extra support.

Tester notes: Users told us they're thrilled with the quality. It earned high scores across the board from parents who own it for their children. And they said it was so comfortable, they even enjoyed sleeping on it themselves. "It's very supportive, yet comfortable and not too hard," said one adult. "I sleep very well on it and have no back pain or issues upon waking."

Offering top-notch mattresses in a direct-to-consumer model, Saatva's beds always impress both our experts and tester panel. This model in particular focuses on more natural materials, with cotton, wool and latex, plus coils for support. Just note that although the brand says it's organic, we weren't able to support that claim with certifications during our review. Still, if you're looking for a high-quality mattress made of natural materials, this one is certainly an excellent choice. Plus, the company offers in-home mattress set-up.

Who it's best for: Anyone that prefers a firm mattress, especially stomach sleepers or those with larger or heavier bodies.

Tester notes: Our panel respondents especially love the edge support on Saatva mattresses, making it easier to get in and out of bed. Plus, one user of this particular mattress told us, "There is more support in the right places." She also appreciated the firm — but not too firm — feel and the fact that it doesn't overheat like memory foam, saying it's "the best I’ve ever slept on."

Doctors often recommend memory foam mattresses for back pain, but this latex hybrid from Nolah is a great alternative if you prefer one made with natural materials. The latex layers offer excellent pressure relief for superior cushioning. It ships in a box for DIY set-up, though you can add a delivery service for $125 that will also remove your old mattress. Though it's not entirely certified organic, it still uses the natural materials found in certified mattresses and is made without synthetic foams.

Who it's best for: Back pain sufferers in search of pressure relief without the sink-in feel or heat-trapping nature of memory foam.

Tester notes: Our analysts noted that although it didn't have as much edge support or bounce compared with other latex mattresses, it contoured well to various body types. Testers agreed, with one commenting, "It contours to [my body] nicely and offers pressure relief." Its DIY set-up was also easier than that of other mattresses: It has handles that make it easy to move, and the packaging had perforations that were easy to open. Plus, one analyst noted it didn't have any odd smells or odors.

If you prefer a firmer feel without any cushy latex or foam, this innerspring mattress is made up entirely of coils, wool and organic cotton. It uses micro coils to create ergonomic zones to promote spine alignment, with a softer feel at the shoulders and legs for pressure relief and a firmer zone for the back. It doesn't list any organic certifications, but it's sustainably made with natural materials and doesn't use synthetic adhesives.

Who it's best for: Shoppers who prefer the feel of a traditional innerspring to latex or memory foam. It's also ideal for back and stomach sleepers.

Tester notes: Our analyst had a great experience testing this mattress and loved the luxurious attention to detail. She also liked that it wasn't as unyielding as other innerspring mattresses and said, "I used to toss and turn a lot because I couldn't find a comfortable position, but I find that I'm comfortable in any position on this one." And after trying out several types of mattresses over the years, this bed remains her favorite.

Though you could use this mattress on a regular bed frame, it stands out for being compatible with adjustable beds, thanks to its flexible construction that can change position without sliding around. It's a hybrid model with latex, wool and coils. We couldn't validate the mattress as certified organic, though the brand says it uses organic cotton that meets GOTS standards.

Who it's best for: Shoppers in search of a latex mattress for their adjustable beds or couples with different schedules.

Tester notes: We don't have as much feedback on this model as we do with others, but our tester loved sleeping on it. In particular, she highlighted the contouring capabilities and motion isolation, saying, "We noticed a difference the first night we slept on it. It's very comfortable and hugs in the right places. I noticed I wake up well rested and don't find myself tossing and turning. My husband wakes up a lot earlier than me, and I am not awakened."

To help you build your perfect mattress, this luxury model offers nine sizes and two firmness levels (even more if you call the company for customization!). Unlike most organic mattresses that are a hybrid of latex and coils, this one is spring-free, with layers of latex throughout for pressure relief, comfort and resilience. Plus, you can opt for the standard model without the pillow top.

Who it's best for: Users who want a latex bed without coils in a specific firmness level or anyone looking for a luxurious pillow-top mattress.

Tester notes: Testers noticed this mattress had less "bounce" than ones with coil. Others highlighted the luxurious feel. "It feels very plush and indulgent," said one. "I like how every part of my body feels evenly supported by this mattress when I lie down on it." Another user appreciated that it contours nicely without sinking in too much, calling it "a do not disturb feeling." However, most noted the set-up was cumbersome, as the bed comes fully expanded and latex is very heavy. You'll also need to re-package the bed for pickup if returning within the brand's trial period.

Naturepedic is a pioneer in the organic bedding industry and offers natural choices for the entire family, including crib mattresses and mattresses for kids. This modular mattress offers five interchangeable firmness levels for each side of the bed, from Plush to Extra-Firm, making it great for couples with different preferences. You can also exchange your firmness layer during a free 100-day trial period to make sure you love the level you choose and opt for a latex-free or vegan version.

Who it's best for: Couples who disagree on firmness level or who need motion isolation.

Tester notes: Our reviewers gave it high scores across the board, calling it a game changer (especially for those used to a too-soft or too-firm compromise). Their only complaints were that the DIY set-up felt daunting, since each layer comes in a separate box, but ultimately noted, "it was actually pretty easy to put together and absolutely well worth every bit of effort." One tester was blown away by how easy it was to swap the firmness layer and appreciated how she couldn't feel her sleeping partner move around due to the separate fill.
