Organic Certifications

In 2008, Lifekind became the first mattress manufacturer in America to offer a Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) certified organic mattress.

Later, in 2013 we were the first to offer mattresses certified to the Global Organic Latex (GOLS) standard.

In 2015, our organic mattress was the first to achieve GREENGUARD Gold certification – UL’s highest standard for low emissions, VOCs and indoor pollutants.

These standards include requirements for certified organic fibers, environmentally friendly production processes, and fair labor practices. To be certified, products must meet minimum organic content requirements, have traceability and proper labeling, and undergo regular audits for compliance.

GOLS Certified Organic Latex

Organic, botanical rubber sap is harvested from rubber trees grown on USDA certified plantations using a sustainable process. This sap (also known as latex) is then formed into a “core” for use in mattress making, or for molded pillows or otherwise.

Organic latex is durable, comfortable and breathable, providing even, responsive support and just the right amount of ‘springiness.’ Latex also sleeps cool, naturally.

GOTS Certified Organic Wool

The GOTS certified organic wool used in Lifekind mattresses and bedding products is sourced from New Zealand, where family and commercial farmers adhere to strict standards in order to assure the certified purity of their fibers. Organic pastures and grazing grounds, minimal processing and humane shearing practices (along with other requirements) contribute to the organic standard, to which our wool is certified. Certified organic, New Zealand wool is limited in production and fibre must be sourced years in advance.

Certified organic cotton mattress bedding

GOTS Certified Organic Cotton

Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) certified organic cotton knit and woven fabrics are made from the highest quality, organic cotton fiber available. Organic cotton fabrics are exceptionally soft and naturally beautiful.

Luxurious and durable, organic cotton fabrics feel great against your skin and perform exceptionally well over time, tending not to snag, tear, rip or stain, even after many years of normal use.
