Everything you need to make the call - who each one is for, and who should skip it.
Go for it if you...
You specifically want no foam at all, just coils and organic fibers
You want firm support for a young child
You are fine adding a waterproof protector
You want a flippable, spill-friendly mattress that grows with your child
GREENGUARD Gold emissions testing is enough reassurance for you
Convenience matters more than organic materials
The main thing to know
A foam-free organic mattress that passes every safety check we run, built on coils and organic cotton with an organic-wool fire barrier and no glues. The things to know: it is firm, it is not waterproof, and it is priced at the higher end.
A convenient, well-built kids mattress that avoids fiberglass, tests clean for emissions with GREENGUARD Gold, and adds a water-resistant cover and a flip-it dual-sided design. The reason it lands below the leaders is what it is made of: polyurethane foam rather than organic latex, with no organic certification and an undisclosed water-resistant finish. If avoiding foam off-gassing is your priority, the organic latex picks score higher.
Skip this if you...
You want a softer feel
You need a built-in wipe-clean surface
You are shopping on a tight budget
You want to avoid polyurethane foam
You want organic certification on the materials
Neither of these quite what you're looking for?
