Looking for a new mattress? Perhaps you are looking at all natural latex mattresses. Maybe you are confused about the terms… Some manufacturers and retailers call their natural latex mattress “organic.” Can a natural latex mattress be certified as organic? If so, how is a latex mattress deemed “organic?”
Here’s the cold, hard truth on this one — If a mattress retailer calls their latex mattress “organic” they are just using the term on their own. Unlike food, mattresses are not certified as organic and it’s unlikely that they ever will be. What you should be looking for when choosing an all natural latex mattress is one that is 100% botanically derived and contains no synthetic fillers or chemicals. Unfortunately, up to 80% of all latex mattresses on the market today are not all natural, but are made synthetically using petrochemicals. These latex mattresses may use the word “natural” because they have some natural latex in them, but they are not all natural and 100% botanically derived.
