Best Organic Mattress & Bedding of 2025: Natural, Non-Toxic Sleep

My only issue with the deluxe version is that it doesn’t have straps (the standard is, but I didn’t test that). Although it won’t slip—it stays in place thanks to the cotton cover—the corners sometimes bunch up when changing sheets and need to be smoothed out.

Best organic bedding

It really doesn’t make sense to spend $1,000 on an organic mattress, then buy non-organic sheets that lie directly on your skin. Here are some of our favorite organic toppers to top your new organic mattress. For more options, check out our comprehensive guides Best papers, Best cooling sheets, Best bamboo sheetsand Best linen sheets. All prices listed here are for queen size unless otherwise noted.

Soft cotton sheets

These are the best organic cotton sheets I’ve tested. It’s soft, but not overly silky, which is a feeling I don’t care for (if you do, check out the avocado notes below). Brooklinen organic cotton sheets are made from GOTS certified Organic cotton. They are Oeko-Tex certifiedWhich means they have been tested to ensure they do not contain any known toxic chemicals. The 300 thread count makes this soft and smooth but not so tight that you end up sleeping hot. This is a great option for the summer or if, like me, you sleep on the warm side even in the winter.

For a silky texture

These 600 piece sheets are like sleeping on silk or satin. In a way they are actually 100 percent GOTS certified Organic cotton from India. The only potential problem here is that because it’s a dense weave, it sleeps warmer than you might be used to. The Avocado also has a 400-count version which I didn’t test, but this may be a better choice for warm sleepers.

Soft, crisp, hotel-style sheets

I first tested the Antipodean Wool Duvet (see next section), which I loved, but I’ve only recently started sleeping on these sheets and I’m confident enough to say they’re excellent. They remind me of the sheets you’ll find in high-end hotels – soft, clean, gorgeous white sheets. As with any of the organic cotton sheets here, they are naturally hypoallergenic. It’s made from super soft, long-staple organic cotton, with a weave on the heavier side giving it a little weight. Everything Antipodean makes is sustainably grown on low-impact farms that practice regenerative farming methods. These are also breathable. I have yet to sleep with them in real heat, but so far they have been fine on nights where the only bedding I need is a sheet.

Linen sheets

Organic linen linen is a potential heirloom purchase, as high-quality linen that is well cared for will last for years, if not decades. However, if you are used to using 600 cotton like the sheets above, linen sheets are completely different. They are rougher, although they become softer with each wash (cold water, mild detergent, cold or hang to dry). What doesn’t change is their weight. If you like heavy covers, these are the sheets for you. Linen is also more breathable and cooler than other fabrics, making it a good choice for those who sleep hot. It is also durable. Avocado Organic Flax Sheets are some of the heaviest I’ve tried and will likely last for many years. The bottom sheet is fitted (sometimes linen sheet sets are flat), and there is a match Duvet cover ($439).

Gorgeous organic wool quilt

To complete your organic bedding collection, you need a good organic comforter. My favorite that I’ve tested is the Antipodean Organic Merino Wool Quilt. As one of our authors Merino wool guideI was well prepared to like the Antipodean Wool Quilt, but even I was surprised by how much I liked it. Like most woolly things, the Antipodean Wool Duvet is capable of amazing feats that sound too good to be true, like keeping you warm, yet it’s breathable enough that you’ll rarely feel too hot. (I’m a heavy sleeper, I can vouch for that.) Wool is able to do this because it’s what’s known as an active fibre, meaning it reacts to changes in body temperature and the environment just as it did when it served to insulate, warm and cool sheep. The result is a comforter with the best night’s sleep I’ve ever had. One thing to note is that this comforter is much heavier than most people are used to. I don’t mind it, but sometimes it feels like a heavy blanket.

Organic pillows

We have full Pillow guidebut we’ll add more organic selections here, because if you’re trying to stay away from… Phthalates And other chemicals, your pillow is just as important as your mattress.

An organic top pick in our pillow guide, the best part about the Avocado Green pillow is how easy it is to adjust. For example, I hate soft pillows; I like almost flat pillows. So I unzipped the avocado pillow, took out half the filling (my kids used it to make sock puppets), and I finally had the pillow of my dreams. My son, who loves an overstuffed pillow, took some of the extra filling the avocado provides and overstuffed his pillow. Everyone wins. The filling is torn here GOLS Certified Organic Latex and GOTS Certified Organic kapok. The quilted organic cotton cover is nice and soft and doesn’t get too hot. I’ve had it for four years and it’s as good as the day I got it.

How we tested and what to look for in an organic mattress

Mattresses are large, and testing them takes time and space. WIRED Gear team members have been testing mattresses for many years, and we’ve slept on every mattress on this list for at least two weeks, often longer, and in many cases, for years longer. However, there is no way for us to test them all. Here are some general tips, tricks, and things to look for when shopping for an organic mattress online.

• Know what type of sleeper you are: Different mattresses are designed for different sleeping styles. Are you a side sleeper? Sleeping stomach? Asleep at noon? Or are you, like me, a little bit of everything (what they call a mixed sleeper)? Knowing the answer to this question can help narrow your search to the mattress that best suits your sleeping habits. This is where mattress reviews like ours come in handy; We test every type of sleeper.
• Do you like firm, soft, medium? Mattresses come in different firmness options, often within the same model. Which one is right for you depends on how much stiffness you enjoy, as well as any issues you may have, such as back pain.
• Innerspring vs. foam: Organic mattresses come in two basic flavors: traditional innerspring coil design and pure foam. We’ve primarily tested and recommended innersprings in this guide, although pure foam designs have improved in recent years, and we’re now in the process of testing a few. The big difference in my experience is the amount of heat the foam retains. It’s a good option for those who sleep cool, while those who sleep hot are better off thanks to the traditional pocketed design.
• Find a trial period: Everyone makes mistakes. To avoid having to live with a potential mistake, make sure the mattress you are considering provides the sleep experience. Everything listed here offers a sort of trial sleep period, after which, if you’re not happy, you can return the mattress.
• The most expensive does not mean the best: Organic mattresses aren’t cheap, but there’s no reason to spend a fortune just to get a good, eco-friendly night’s sleep.
• Check the warranty: Lifetime warranties are rare these days, but most mattresses we tested offer warranties for about 25 years. Some companies cap it at 10 years, but they view those with skepticism. A good mattress should last more than 10 years, and good companies are willing to stand behind their products for a long time.
• Wait for sale: Mattresses go on sale all the time, usually every few months for most brands. Unless you need a new mattress now, it’s best to wait for the next big sale.
