GOTS and GOLS Certified Mattress
Unlike food consumption in America today, mattress certification with regards to organic composition isn’t as easy to figure out. If you’re a health-conscious consumer wanting to sleep atop a mattress that is both organic and environmentally sustainable, finding a product that satisfies your organic requirements can be quite difficult. To help you navigate the world of organic mattress certification, we’re going to quickly explain with GOLS and GOTS mean for products:
GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standards)
Since the early 2000s, the Environmental Working Group developed the acronym GOTS that set a standard for organic textiles. Previously without any kind of industry regulation at all, GOTS was the first attempt at helping consumers classify their mattress purchases. In order to be GOTS certified today, materials and manufacturers need to pass an annual inspection. Our iAdjust mattress is one example of a product and manufacturing facility that is completely GOTS-certified.
GOLS (Global Organic Latex Standards)
After GOTS was founded, there was still no organic standard for latex foam. GOTS was unable to be applied to natural latex, because producing foam is an entirely different process from manufacturing textiles. With GOLS, a relatively new certification from the Control Union, latex now has an annual certification standard as well. For years, the iAdjust mattresses have bought from a GOLS accreditation supplier.
Overall, our iAdjust product is natural and organic in nature, and made from the internationally accredited Dunlop Latex foam. The natural Dunlop Latex serum has been grown and harvested from its original Indian organic farm for years. We’re happy to collaborate with environmentally conscious manufacturers who are committed to our dream of total organic consumption.
iAdjust Configuration
Adjustable firmness is an option with iAdjust organic mattress configuration. Simply unzip the cover and manually arrange the latex layers. Inside you will find three layers, each with differing firmness. Stack the soft, medium and firm latex layers to accommodate your firmness needs. For the firmest setup, firm goes on top with medium in the middle and soft on the bottom. The softest firmness would be when the soft is on top followed by medium and firm. There are several possible firmness outcomes based on the order in which the layers are assembled.
Best GOTS Certified Mattress
The Best GOTS Certified Mattress on the market today is the iAdjust Organic Mattress. GOTS has different levels of certification and the iAdjust supplier meets the highest standards. With its 100% organic composition it qualifies for the best GOTS Certified mattress labeling. This level requires products be 95% or greater organic. Products that earn this higher badge are more organic than those in the lower GOTS certification tier. The second certification level has a 70% organic requirement. The iAdjust is the best organically Certified Mattress because it not only meets all the requirements standards, it exceeds them.
Best GOLS Certified Mattress
iAdjust’s organic mattress also surpasses the highest requirements necessary to earn GOLS credentials. GOLS specifically identifies organic latex mattresses that are composed of 95% or more organic latex. GOLS and GOTS certifications help consumers identify truly organic latex mattresses. They are the industry’s standard for organic. If a mattress hasn’t been authenticated and awarded these labels, there’s no way to tell if it is actually organic. The best GOLS certified mattress has both!
