Vegan Organic Mattresses

If you are looking for a vegan organic mattress, you are likely looking for a mattress without wool — either for ethical reasons or because of an allergy. Without wool, you have a few different options:

1. Organic Cotton Innerspring Mattress. An organic cotton innerspring mattress made by Royal Pedic is of the highest quality but is made specifically for people who prefer a very firm mattress. The organic cotton is tufted to traditional wire coils for an extremely firm — if almost hard — feel. Choose from the Royal Pedic All Cotton Mattress and Box Spring or the Royal Pedic Premier Natural Cotton Mattress. US law requires mattresses to meet certain flame retardant standards — most organic mattress manufacturers meet these requirements using wool quilted to organic cotton. This mattress does not meet US standards and therefore cannot be sold without a doctor's or chiropractor's note stating that the purchaser needs a mattress made without chemical flame retardants and has a sensitivity to wool.
2. Organic Pocket Coil With Latex on Top. Many organic mattresses achieve a softer feel using natural latex. The OMI Rossa Organic Mattress is made with pocket coils at the core and a layer of organic latex on top for additional cushion and softness. Although it comes standard with wool in the mattress quilting, it can be special ordered without wool by replacing the wool in the quilting with organic cotton batting. This is our top choice for a vegan organic mattress! A doctor's note is needed to purchase this mattress.
3. A Vegan Organic Cotton Futon. Made with layers of organic cotton batting, an organic futon is not just for college kids. This mattress comes in a variety of thicknesses and can be softer than an innerspring-only mattress. Comprised solely of organic cotton, this type of mattress is as pure as you can get. The disadvantage is that you will experience some compression over time — a slight dip where you lay — which is normal and does not mean the mattress is defective. We sell two futons that can be made without wool: the Sublime Futon by Sleepy Sheep or a cotton futon by Soaring Heart that can be custom made without wool. A doctor's note is needed to purchase this vegan organic mattress option.
4. A Mattress with PLA Instead of Wool. Some companies now use a product called PLA to replace the wool frequently used in organic mattress quilting. PLA is a plant-based batting — similar to polyester, but made from corn or potato oils instead of fossil fuels. Like wool, PLA has flame retardant properties, which means these mattresses meet US flame retardant standards without a doctor's note. We carry kids mattresses that are vegan and made with organic cotton, PLA, and metal springs — designed for children and young adults not exceeding 160 pounds. No doctor's note is necessary.

If you choose a vegan organic mattress that isn't as soft as you prefer, we carry natural latex toppers covered in only organic cotton fabric — thin enough that they are not required to meet the more rigorous flame retardant standard that requires wool. Place one of these vegan mattress toppers on top to add a softer feel while maintaining the firm support beneath. Browse our full selection of natural latex mattress toppers for vegan-friendly options. With a vegan natural latex topper on top of a firm vegan organic mattress, you get the best of both worlds — firm support with a softer feel on top!
