5 Best Organic Mattresses of 2025

The AWARA Natural Hybrid isn’t just another eco-friendly mattress—it’s a statement of sleep integrity, engineered for those who demand purity without sacrificing performance. With GOLS-certified organic latex, a New Zealand wool quilted cover, and a fiberglass-free design, this mattress delivers a breath of fresh air—literally—by eliminating off-gassing and synthetic flame retardants. Its standout feature? An 8-inch base of individually wrapped steel coils that provide exceptional spinal support while drastically reducing motion transfer, making it a dream for light sleepers sharing the bed.

In real-world testing, the AWARA excels in temperature regulation and durability. The natural latex layer offers responsive, buoyant support that avoids the “sinking” feel of memory foam, while the organic wool and bamboo-rayon blend cover wicks moisture and disperses heat efficiently. On a 100°F night, sleepers reported staying cool thanks to the highly breathable coil system, and edge support held up impressively under pressure—no roll-off risk when sitting or sleeping near the perimeter. That said, heavier side sleepers (over 230 lbs) may find the plush top layer compresses slightly too quickly for long-term pressure relief.

Positioned as the best overall organic mattress, AWARA outclasses budget hybrids like the Dourxi and mid-tier models like the Sunrising Bedding by investing in certified materials and long-term sustainability. It doesn’t just sleep clean—it gives back, planting 10 trees per purchase through Trees for the Future. While it lacks the extra height of the 14-inch SURLUNKEYS, its 365-night trial and lifetime warranty offer unmatched peace of mind. For those who value ethical sourcing, cooling performance, and enduring support, AWARA sets the gold standard—outperforming rivals with deeper material integrity and superior craftsmanship.

Don’t let its modest price tag fool you—the Sunrising Bedding Hybrid is a value-packed powerhouse that punches well above its weight in the organic-adjacent mattress arena. Utilizing Talalay latex from Malaysian rubber trees, this 10-inch hybrid avoids formaldehyde, heavy metals, and gelling agents, making it a breathable, non-toxic sleep surface right out of the box. Its medium-firm feel (around 6/10) strikes a smart balance between cushioning and support, ideal for back and stomach sleepers seeking pressure relief without sagging.

During extended use, the gel-infused memory foam and air memory foam layers proved effective at dispersing heat, though not quite as breathable as natural latex or coil-dominant designs. The 682 individually pocketed springs delivered solid motion isolation—light partner disturbance during tossing and turning—and maintained structural integrity on a slatted foundation. However, side sleepers under 130 lbs reported slight pressure buildup at the shoulders, and the lack of organic certifications (like GOTS or GOLS) means it’s not fully in the “organic” league despite its natural claims.

When stacked against the AWARA or Ethical Mattress Co., this Sunrising model is clearly the budget-conscious compromise—offering hybrid comfort and decent cooling at a fraction of the cost. It’s best suited for city dwellers, students, or guest rooms where affordability and quick setup matter more than full-spectrum eco-certifications. While it doesn’t match the material purity or cooling prowess of top-tier organic picks, it delivers remarkable performance for the price, outclassing generic foam-in-a-box brands with its zoned spring support and layered airflow design.

If you’re a hot sleeper battling night sweats, the SURLUNKEYS 14-inch Hybrid is engineered to be your climate-controlled sanctuary. Its gel foam comfort layer actively pulls heat away from the body, while the pocketed coil system enhances airflow from within, creating a dual-action cooling effect that outperforms most hybrids in humid environments. Standing at 14 inches tall, this mattress offers a plush-yet-supportive medium-firm feel (6.5/10), making it a standout for combo sleepers who shift positions and need consistent spinal alignment.

In practice, the thicker 2.3mm edge coils deliver exceptional stability—no sagging when sitting or sleeping near the edge—which is rare at this price point. The organic cotton cover feels soft and breathable, though it doesn’t carry GOTS certification, slightly undercutting its “organic” claim. During motion isolation tests, the independently wrapped springs absorbed partner movement well, though not quite as silently as the AWARA. One caveat: the gel foam layer, while cooling, can develop a slight sink-in feel over time for heavier sleepers (over 220 lbs), reducing responsiveness.

Compared to the AWARA and Ethical Mattress Co., SURLUNKEYS leans into thermal performance first, sacrificing some material purity for aggressive cooling tech. It’s not fully certified organic, but it delivers where it matters most: keeping you dry and cool all night. For couples in warm climates or anyone who wakes up drenched, this mattress offers a smarter thermal solution than most latex-dominant beds, blending foam comfort with spring breathability in a way that feels both modern and effective. It’s the cooling specialist in a field of generalists.

The Ethical Mattress Co. Twin Hybrid is the pinnacle of clean sleep architecture—a no-compromise fortress against toxins built for the environmentally vigilant. Made entirely of organic cotton, natural latex, wool, and pocketed coils, it contains zero polyfoams, fiberglass, or chemical flame retardants, meeting the strictest standards for non-toxic sleep. Its stretch-knit organic cotton cover feels luxuriously soft, while the high-density natural latex offers a bouncy, responsive surface that cradles without trapping heat.

Real-world testing confirmed its exceptional breathability, thanks to the absence of foam encasement, allowing air to flow freely through the entire coil system. At 55 lbs for a twin, it’s 20% heavier than competitors, a clear indicator of dense, high-quality materials. Sleepers with allergies or chemical sensitivities praised its zero off-gassing, and the pocketed coils provided excellent motion isolation—ideal for light sleepers. However, its firmness leans toward the harder side, making it less ideal for side sleepers needing deep pressure relief.

In the landscape of organic mattresses, this one stands apart as the most ethically rigorous, outperforming even AWARA in material transparency and domestic craftsmanship—it’s proudly made in New Jersey, USA. While it lacks the plushness of the Dourxi or the cooling gel tech of SURLUNKEYS, it’s unbeatable for those prioritizing purity and sustainability. For eco-conscious buyers who want every ingredient accounted for, this mattress isn’t just a purchase—it’s a principled choice that delivers superior airflow, durability, and peace of mind.

The Dourxi King Hybrid is a budget-friendly breath of fresh air in a market crowded with overpriced, underperforming foam mattresses. At just under $400, it delivers CertiPUR-US and GOTS-certified organic cotton, a rare combo at this price, offering a plush, cloud-like feel enhanced by gel memory foam and high-density support foam. The 12-inch profile and green-tinted cover give it a modern aesthetic, but more importantly, the pocketed spring system ensures solid support and impressive motion isolation, making it a smart pick for couples on a tight budget.

In daily use, the cooling gel particles and coil ventilation kept surface temperatures manageable, though not as cool as latex or wool-based designs. The medium-plush feel works best for sleepers under 200 lbs—those above may find it too soft, especially in the hips and lower back. Setup is easy: compressed in a box, it expands within 48–72 hours with minimal odor. However, the lack of edge support was noticeable—sitting on the side led to slight compression, reducing usable sleeping space.

Against the Sunrising or SURLUNKEYS, the Dourxi wins on price and size, offering a king mattress for less than most queen hybrids. It’s not fully organic—no wool or natural latex—but it’s one of the most accessible entry points into cleaner sleep. While it doesn’t match the durability or cooling of premium models, it overdelivers on comfort and breathability for the cost, making it ideal for renters, college students, or anyone needing a large, soft, and cool mattress without breaking the bank.
