Choosing An Organic Mattress: What Mattress Certifications Mean?

For anyone out there looking to catch a good night’s sleep, it invariably boils down to choosing the right mattress. You may have come across GOLS-certified latex mattresses or similar terms while mattress hunting, but do you actually know what these certifications mean? While price and comfort are undoubtedly the two important guiding factors, certifications also play an important role. It primarily has to do with using Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) used during manufacturing. As such, they are known to break when exposed to room temperature and can dissipate as harmful gas. Because some people are prone to allergies or suffer from a medical condition, choosing a mattress by checking the certification is always a wise call.
