Organic vs. Natural Mattresses: What's the Difference?

Greenwashing is making environmental claims without independent verification. "Natural," "eco," and "non-toxic" are unregulated. GOTS finished-product certification is the only verifiable organic standard for mattresses. Verify at global-standard.org.

What Is Greenwashing?

Polyurethane and memory foam are petroleum-derived, prohibited under GOTS, and may off-gas VOCs. Avocado uses GOLS-certified organic latex instead — plant-derived, and every finished mattress is GREENGUARD Gold certified for…

Why We Don't Use Polyurethane Foam

No single certification catches everything. Avocado holds GOTS, OEKO-TEX® Class I, EWG Verified®, MADE SAFE®, GREENGUARD Gold, and UL Formaldehyde-Free — each closing gaps the others leave open. All are…

Why Avocado Uses Multiple Certifications

Why One Certification Is Never Enough: How Avocado's Six Finished-Product Certifications Work Together

CertiPUR-US® Certification: What It Covers and What It Doesn't
