Recently, we’ve seen many mattress brands incorporating organic components to make their mattresses more sustainable and environmentally friendly.
While many feature natural materials, the term “organic” is reserved for elements that have received certifications from reputable authorities, such as the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS). Some of the most friendly organic materials used in today’s mattresses include natural latex, GOTS-certified organic cotton, and GOTS-certified organic wool.
Organic mattresses hold an impressive reputation within the mattress industry, so when our expert team designed our range of organic mattresses, they ensured they were highly rated for durability, pressure relief, temperature neutrality, comfort and support to perfectly suit a range of body types and sleep positions.
Technically speaking, no mattress is 100% organic. Even the most eco friendly mattresses or natural mattresses contain springs, sealants, and other components that are at least partly synthetic. However, truly organic materials may be used to construct the mattress, and in the case of Winstons, our mattresses and beds are primarily made of such materials.
Certifications help us separate mattresses with sustainable materials from their impersonators. The certification should come from an impartial organisation and not be affiliated with a brand.
Finding a high-quality organic mattress can be difficult, but a fantastic night’s sleep shouldn’t be difficult. We spend a third of our lives in bed sleeping, yet the typical mattress contains a cocktail of chemicals and flame retardants.
Nowadays, buyers have more choices. A new variety of organic mattress brands are shaking things up by providing better options for their customers and the environment. Winstons Beds meets the following criteria:
Natural & Organic
These organic mattresses use a range of certified organic materials, including GOTS certified organic cotton, natural latex and GOTS certified organic wool. No mattress contains toxic chemicals or harsh flame retardants.
Eco Friendly
Each mattress applies eco-friendly production methods. All are made right here in the UK, reducing their environmental footprint by keeping production locally. Comfort is key. Each of our eco friendly mattresses has only received 5-star reviews for high-quality comfort and better sleep.
Here are the facts
The leading chemical causing the most concern in mattresses is fire retardants. Multiple fire retardant chemicals are closely connected to herbicides and pesticides.
The chemicals are divided into two main classes
These substances can also be blended with Antimony Trioxide when utilised on mattress cover fabrics.
Today, many traditional mattresses in British homes comprise foam and polyester and are treated with flame retardants. They are also sometimes wrapped in flame-resistant fibres like polyvinylidene chloride and melamine. But, unfortunately, those substances aren’t really what you want on your skin for 6-8 hours a day.
Our plush organic mattresses are manufactured by combining natural and non-toxic materials like wool, cotton, alpaca, horsehair, mohair, bamboo, and latex. As a result, organic mattresses do not contain the harsh chemicals that traditional mattresses have. Instead, natural fibres like cotton and wool, the most common sources of mattress upholstery, are processed without dangerous chemical products or toxic substances.
We all know the chemicals in mattresses are causing health problems and that organic mattresses are much better for our health and the environment. But do organic mattresses offer that much more? The short answer is YES!
Materials
Organic mattresses are made from natural ingredients like wool, alpaca, mohair, horsehair cotton, and other natural fibres. They don’t contain synthetic materials, so they’re healthier for us than those filled with synthetic fillings.
Chemical-Free
At times chemicals are added to make the softest organic mattress. Still, these chemicals are not harmless, as many studies show they can cause many health problems. So you can picture how dismayed many customers are when they find out that the “organic mattress cover” or “organic mattress topper” they are sleeping on contains chemicals. At Winstons Beds, our organic mattresses utilise no harmful chemicals and are all toxin-free.
Support
Our organic mattresses will provide better support than you would get from a regular mattress and will contour to your body instead of making you adjust to the mattress. If you are looking for a mattress for a side sleeper, try our certified organic wool mattresses, the world’s best luxury mattresses perfect for sore joints, aches and pains or bursitis, and want to remain as comfortable and relaxed as possible.
Anti Allergy
Organic mattresses will not invite or harbour bacteria and other allergens. The mattress does not absorb moisture, making it healthy to sleep on and less likely to mould or form allergens.
