How to Swap to Non-Toxic mattresses:
Here's how to swap to non-toxic mattresses:
What to know about mattresses
You spend roughly a third of your life on your mattress, making it one of the highest-contact products in your home. Welpr focuses on what your mattress is made of — the fabrics, foams, fills, and finishes — because these materials sit in direct contact with your body for hours every night.
- Materials like natural latex, organic cotton, and wool are preferred over synthetic foams and fabrics that may off-gas or contain chemical treatments.
- Because of the long, direct skin contact and proximity to your face, your mattress deserves more attention than products you use briefly or occasionally.
Review what you already sleep on
Check what your current mattress is made of. Look for the law tag (usually sewn into the side or bottom) and any product listing or documentation that came with it. This will tell you about the materials inside.
- Look for terms like "polyurethane foam," "memory foam," "flame retardant barrier," or "synthetic fabrics" — these suggest the mattress may not meet Welpr's standards for clean materials.
- If your mattress came with certifications like GOTS, GOLS, OEKO-TEX®, MADE SAFE®, or GREENGUARD Gold, that's a good sign, but check the actual materials too since certifications alone don't tell the full story.
Use your current mattress more safely
Replacing a mattress is a big purchase, so it makes sense to keep using what you have for now. A few simple steps can reduce what you're exposed to while you sleep.
- Use a mattress protector or encasement made from organic cotton or natural materials to create a barrier between you and the mattress surface.
- Air out your bedroom daily by opening a window, especially if your mattress is newer — new mattresses tend to off-gas more in the first few months.
Choose a cleaner mattress
When you're ready to replace your mattress, look for one built with natural materials like organic cotton, natural latex, and wool. Avoid mattresses made primarily with synthetic foams, chemical flame retardants, or synthetic fabrics.
- Look for mattresses with certified-safe foam (GOLS for latex, CertiPUR-US® at minimum) that is free of formaldehyde, flame retardants, and phthalates — and choose brands that are transparent about every material inside.
