Why Choose an EWG Verified® Mattress: Health, Safety, and Full Transparency
An EWG Verified® mattress meets the strict safety and health standards set by the Environmental Working Group (EWG), a nonprofit organization dedicated to using the power of science and research to help consumers make healthier choices. EWG’s standards exceed regulatory requirements, ensuring verified mattresses have safer materials and full ingredient transparency.
Here’s why EWG Verified® matters:
Mattress Health & Safety
EWG Verified® mattresses are free from harmful chemicals like chemical flame retardants, fiberglass, PVCs, and "forever chemicals" such as PFAS. (Review our PFAS test results.) They’re made with low-emitting VOCs, which help create a healthier indoor environment and reduce exposure to potentially harmful substances. This is especially important since we spend a significant amount of time in close contact with our mattresses.
Non-Toxic Materials
To earn the EWG Verified® mark, a mattress must use materials that are tested for safety. The certification ensures the product doesn’t contain substances that could pose risks to your health over time, so you don't unknowingly bring toxic materials into your home, which can be inhaled or leach into your skin.
Transparency You Can Trust
One of the key elements of EWG Verified® is full ingredient disclosure. This means every mattress component is listed and assessed, so no hidden materials or undisclosed hazards exist. Transparency builds trust, allowing you to make informed decisions about any adult or crib mattress you bring into your home.
Complementary Certifications
At Avocado Green Mattress, our EWG Verified® certification complements our OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100, MADE SAFE®, GREENGUARD Gold, eco-INSTITUT®, and Formaldehyde-Free Claim Verification certifications. Together, these rigorous certifications ensure that our mattresses meet the highest standards for health, safety, and environmental responsibility. Avocado is one of the most trusted and certified mattress brands in the United States.
Choosing an EWG Verified® mattress means prioritizing your health and safety, knowing the product meets rigorous standards, and trusting that every material is disclosed and free from harmful substances.
