Organic content, material testing and product emissions answer different questions. Here’s what each of the six standards referenced in our materials information actually means.
Organic textiles
GOTS
Global Organic Textile Standard
GOTS covers organic fiber content and textile processing, including environmental and social requirements. The “organic” label grade requires at least 95% certified organic fibers; “made with organic” starts at 70%.
What it covers
Textiles such as the cotton cover. A certified fabric does not, by itself, certify every layer of a mattress.
Evaluates foam for content, emissions and durability. Certified foam meets the program’s low-VOC emissions criteria and restrictions on specified substances.
What it covers
Certified comfort, transition or support foam. The certification does not apply to latex, coils or an entire assembled mattress.
FSC labels identify forest-based materials from sources that meet the applicable responsible sourcing and chain-of-custody requirements. The exact label identifies the claim.
What it covers
The forest-based material in the certified supply chain, which can include natural rubber. This does not measure comfort or emissions.
UL’s GREENGUARD certification sets limits on chemical emissions from certified products.
What it covers
The product identified in the UL certification listing. In our mattresses that is the organic-cotton fire barrier, not the finished mattress; certification does not certify a room or promise zero emissions.
Certification applies to the material or product named on its certificate. For documentation relating to a particular mattress, material or production batch, contact our team.

02
Latex & cooling foam
Two inches of Talalay latex with plant-based and cooling gel-infused comfort foams. The CertiPUR-US® certified foams are tested for low VOC emissions.
03
Pocket-coil support
Individually pocketed coils with extra-firm Quantum Edge support, plus transition and base foams. The CertiPUR-US® certified foams are tested for low VOC emissions.
Deeper cushioning, with responsive support underneath.
Finished height: 16 inches
01
Quilted cotton cover
An organic-cotton surface with small sewn-in quilting points.
02
Layered comfort system
Talalay latex, comfort foam, wool/alpaca fiber and micro-coils for localized contouring. The CertiPUR-US® certified foams are tested for low VOC emissions.
03
Zoned pocket-coil support
A three-zone main coil unit with extra-firm Quantum Edge support, plus transition and base foams. The CertiPUR-US® certified foams are tested for low VOC emissions.
These views show the main material groups, not every construction layer. Certification scope follows the specific material or finished-product documentation; an illustration alone does not establish certification.

A LITTLE MORE CLARITY
Good questions. Straightforward answers.
Does an organic cover mean the entire mattress is organic?
An organic-cotton cover describes the cover. Our mattresses also use materials such as latex, foam and, in our hybrids, individually fabric-wrapped coils. Each material has its own role and certification scope.
Is Talalay the same as organic latex?
Talalay is a manufacturing process that creates latex foam. Organic status is a separate claim that must be supported by the applicable certification.
Does low emissions mean no emissions?
Low-emissions certifications test against defined limits. They do not mean zero emissions, zero odor or that a material is suitable for every person’s sensitivities.
What do you mean by foam?
Our comfort and support layers include flexible foam. Latex foam is a separate material. CertiPUR-US® applies to the certified foam components, while latex has its own testing and certification scope.
How do the individually wrapped coils work?
The pocket coils sit in individual fabric sleeves and respond mechanically to pressure. Their fabric sleeves help the coils move independently, supporting your body as you change position.
Can I ask for certification documents?
Yes. Contact our team with the mattress and material you’re interested in. We can help you understand the relevant certificate or attestation and what it covers.
