You definitely don’t want the thing you sleep on every night to have a bunch of carcinogens and toxic compounds in it. Thus, if you want peace of mind your mattress is free of dangerous chemicals, organic certifications can go a long way towards giving you that assurance. Regulations against false advertising are loose enough that manufacturers can disguise corner-cutting and low quality with fancy ads and first-party certs. If you buy a mattress that boasts an independent third-party certification, you know they’ve lived up to strict standards of quality control. An organic latex bed will also have minimal off-gassing when brought in order, making them an ideal mattress for those with allergies.
