Everything you need to make the call - who each one is for, and who should skip it.
Go for it if you...
You want a fully certified-organic twin without paying the all-latex premium
Avoiding fiberglass, polyurethane foam and added flame retardants is your priority
You are comfortable adding a separate waterproof protector
You want a comfortable foam feel at a lower price
Emissions testing alone is enough reassurance for you
You plan to add the brand's separate waterproof encasement for spills
The main thing to know
This is about as clean as a children's mattress gets: organic wool in place of fiberglass, organic latex and coils in place of memory foam, no glues, and four independent certifications backing it up. The one thing to know before you buy is that the cover is not waterproof, so plan on adding an organic protector pad for spills and accidents.
A comfortable, value-priced foam mattress with genuine emissions testing (GREENGUARD Gold and CertiPUR-US). What places it at the bottom of this group is twofold: it is polyurethane memory foam with no organic certification, and while the brand says it is fiberglass-free it never says what the fire barrier is, which is the single most important thing we check. The organic picks tell you exactly what is inside.
Skip this if you...
You need a built-in waterproof or wipe-clean surface and do not want a separate pad
You want an all-natural-latex feel rather than a latex-over-coils hybrid
You want to avoid polyurethane foam
You want the fire barrier and materials fully disclosed and certified
Neither of these quite what you're looking for?
