The Importance of Certifications for Natural and Organic Bedding

As consumer awareness of chemical exposure grows, the demand for certified natural and organic latex, wool, and cotton has become increasingly vital. Understanding the impact of these chemicals on our daily lives has led many to seek safer and healthier options for mattresses, pillows, and bedding.

Why do Certifications Matter?

Certifications provide essential peace of mind for shoppers, ensuring that the products they choose are safe for themselves and their families. When you select certified bedding, you can trust that you are investing in high-quality materials free from harmful substances.

 

Global Organic Latex Standard (GOLS)

Understanding GOLS Certification for Organic Rubber

The Global Organic Latex Standard (GOLS) establishes criteria for natural rubber sourced from certified organic plantations, recognized by USDA, NOP, or EU standards. To obtain GOLS certification, a product must consist of over 95% certified organic raw materials.

Key Features of the GOLS Standard:

  • Harmful Substance Limits: Defines permissible levels for harmful chemicals.
  • Emission Testing: Requires testing for emissions to ensure safety.
  • Material Composition: Specifies allowable percentages for polymers and fillers.

Certification covers the entire supply chain, from rubber plantations to manufacturing units and ultimately to the retailer. By utilizing transaction certificates at every sale, GOLS ensures traceability throughout the supply chain, guaranteeing transparency from the plantation to the final consumer.

 

Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS)

Understanding GOTS Certification for Organic Textiles

The Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) is a premier certification for textile production that restricts the use of toxic bleaches, dyes, and other harmful chemicals throughout the manufacturing process. Recognized globally as the strictest organic textile standard, GOTS goes beyond simply verifying organic farming practices to encompass every stage of production.

To qualify for the GOTS “Organic” label, a product must meet the following criteria:

  • Organic Fiber Content: Contains at least 95% organic fibre.
