Organic Latex-Free Mattresses

If you are shopping for an organic mattress these days you will find that it is very easy to find options that contain natural latex, but it can be challenging to find latex-free options. Whether you have decided to shop for a latex-free mattress due to an allergy, sensitivity, or simply personal preference, we have some great latex-free choices — each with their own advantages.

Innerspring Latex-Free Organic Mattresses

One type of latex-free mattress we offer is an innerspring mattress where metal springs are used to provide support. This is what comes to mind as a traditional bed for most people. Be careful, as some innerspring mattresses will still use a latex layer for pressure relief. We offer a few different innerspring mattresses that are completely latex-free.

The first is the Royal-Pedic Mattress. Royal-Pedic uses a Swiss-designed innerspring core that contains 68% more coils compared to the industry standard and is double heat tempered. The coils are open ended, unknotted, six-turn coils providing more flexibility — which means greater sensitivity to body contours, overall body support, and relaxation. The inner springs are surrounded by over 50 pounds of organic cotton batting and natural French wool. These Royal-Pedic mattresses have a firm feel, so if you prefer something with a little softness on top, you might want to consider adding a wool topper for extra pressure relief.

Futon and Wool Latex-Free Organic Mattresses

The second latex-free option is a futon or wool mattress. A futon or wool mattress uses organic cotton or organic wool batting to provide pressure relief and support. This minimalist approach appeals to purists and provides a firm sleep experience. These mattresses use a large amount of natural batting materials and will need a proper frame to provide adequate air circulation. It is also expected that body indentations will occur as a natural part of having a mattress made from only fibers — it is important to flip the futon regularly.

We offer two organic futon and wool mattresses. The Soaring Heart Organic Futon is constructed with an organic cotton core surrounded by organic wool. The materials start at about 27 inches of loft before being skillfully worked down to the 7 inches of the finished futon. The organic wool provides resistance to moisture, mildew, and dust mites, and also regulates temperature for a comfortable night's sleep.

The Savvy Rest Pastoral Wool Mattress consists of 4.5 inches of organic wool covered in an organic cotton twill. Similar to a futon, this mattress is flexible and can be used on a futon frame. The Pastoral Wool Mattress is handmade and hand-tufted with natural linen thread.

Naturepedic Latex-Free Options for Kids

Naturepedic also offers two latex-free mattresses made especially for kids. The Quilted Organic Cotton Deluxe and the 2 in 1 Organic Cotton Ultra are both made from an innerspring unit covered in organic cotton and PLA — a non-GMO plant-based fabric derived from potatoes. For organic purists, please note that these mattresses do contain PLA and polyester, so if avoiding all synthetic materials is important to you, one of the Royal-Pedic or Soaring Heart options above might be a better fit.
