  Bed mattress and bed sheets

  Posted by ivona_n on January 21, 2024 at 6:33 pm

  Hi guys,

  Can you recommend bed mattress brands and bed sheet brands that aren’t toxic? I don’t know what fabric is better for sheets. Thank you.

  Hi @Ivona nagorzanski – I would encourage you to watch parts of Valentina’s presentation on non-toxic house products to help you feel more confident when looking for household products. Here are a few points to consider:

  1 hour 12 minutes: flame retardants. In Dubai, we still don’t have a company distributing non-toxic mattresses (I’ve been regularly checking). Ikea doesn’t use flame retardants but the foam likely has other chemicals.

  1 hour 21 minutes to 28 minutes: product certifications and labels to look for in various products.

  In general, in mattresses you’ll want to avoid:

  vinyl/PVC

  flame retardants

  polyurethane (memory) foam

  perfluorinated chemicals like PFOS, PFOA

  Instead, look for:

  low flammable materials

  95% organic cotton, wool or 100% natural latex

  Certifications: GOTS (texitle), GOLS (latex), MadeSafe, Greenguard Gold, Zero-toxic product registry

  Here are some brands of mattresses (available in the US and possibly ship internationally) that are safer choices:

  Avocado

  Naturepedic

  Happsy

  Savvy Rest

  Birch Living

  For sheets, just make sure they’re certified organic material.

  Hope this helps with your search.

  Awesome thread, thank you as well!

  In case anyone knows also about some European brands, suggestions as welcome (I’ll be looking for mattresses in Portugal this summer)
