Top 7 Non-Toxic Crib Mattress 2026

What we love

• You want the most complete clean build, since it is GOTS and GOLS certified coconut coir and latex with no polyurethane foam, glues, or flame retardants.
• You want natural breathability, because the coir core lets air move without a synthetic surface.
• You want a firm infant side that flips to a softer toddler side to last for years.

Worth knowing

• You want a wipe-clean waterproof top out of the box, because the natural surface pairs best with a separate breathable protector.

What we love

• You want a fully natural sleep surface, since the core is GOLS organic latex and wrapped coils with a GOTS organic wool and cotton cover.
