Here's how to swap to non-toxic mattress pads:
Mattress pads sit directly under your sheets and stay in close contact with your body for hours every night. That combination of prolonged skin proximity and daily use makes the materials they're made from worth paying attention to.
Check the label or product listing for your current mattress pad to see what it's made of. Focus on three things: the top fabric, the fill material, and whether it has a waterproof or non-slip backing.
If replacing your mattress pad isn't practical right now, a few simple steps can reduce what you're exposed to while you sleep. A barrier layer and good airflow can make a real difference.
Look for mattress pads made with natural fibers like organic cotton or wool. If you need a waterproof layer, choose one that's certified free of PFAS, phthalates, and VOCs — and make sure the plastic layer isn't the surface touching your skin.
