Conscious Qualities: GOTS and GOLS Certified USA Mattress Factory, FSC-Certified USA Woodshop, GREENGUARD Gold Certified Products

Avocado was first founded as a green mattress company, making GOTS-certified organic non-toxic mattresses that meet STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX® standards. The brand has since expanded into bedding and furniture with the same high standards, using sustainably sourced wood, organic fabrics, and zero VOC finishes. But the highlight for me is that the brand makes their mattresses in their own GOTS-Certified facility in California!

The mattresses are made in a GOTS-certified facility with GOLS (Global Organic Latex Standard) certified natural latex, certified organic wool and certified organic cotton.

The highlight for me is their adjustable bed and split top mattress —I haven’t seen a non-toxic bedroom furniture company offer something like this before.

Price Range: $199 (metal frame) – $4,498 (Cal King elite natural mattress)

With “Best Organic Mattress” awards from outlets like CNN and Forbes, Birch’s popular mattress is made with quality natural materials like organic cotton, organic wool, and natural latex. Birch’s foundation is made with spruce hardwood and organic cotton; note that their bed frame’s upholstery option is polyester (plastic) fabric, so I would avoid that variant.

From upholstered beds to benches, your selection will be made to order with FSC-certified wood, jute, hemp, organic latex, organic cotton and wool. Just note that their default furniture options don’t automatically include their best eco materials, which could be a little confusing, so I want to flag it. For the most eco-minded option, select “Organic Upgrade” on the product pages to get the Inside Green collection version.

My favorite piece is their Mindi Organic Wood Bedframe, for a natural elevated boho vibe that showcases the wood’s natural grain without any toxic finishes.

Price Range: $399 (crib mattress) – $2,399 (Cal King mattress)

The certified organic mattresses from My Green Mattress are all made in their own factory in Illinois. These quality mattresses come with a year-long sleep trial and 20-year warranty so you can rest easy about your purchase. The Amish-made platform bed is made with the same commitments and is left unfinished with zero wood stains.

While the company has certified organic crib mattresses and kids mattresses, they don’t yet have a bed frame for kids. So you may want to head to Green Cradle for the solid wood crib.

9. The Futon Shop

Best for: futons and natural wood bedroom furniture

Price Range: $375 (nightstand) – $4,649 (6-drawer dresser)

The retailer offers organic cotton, natural Dunlop latex, and natural wool mattresses for both sofa beds and regular beds. Many of their futons and platform beds are made with solid wood. Look for the options like this one that say “Chemical Free” or “Natural” for non-toxic bed frames finished with linseed oil only. I also love that the company is women-owned — still a rarity among furniture companies.

Even the label is 100% cotton and the cuffs are elastic free, to ensure comfort even for those with severe skin sensitivities.

I tried their close neck knitted sweatshirt in Natural and it was super comfortable, even when worn alone without a layer underneath. While limited in colors, I like that the brand doesn’t use synthetic dyes, and I found the natural cotton to be a beautifully warm soft cream color.
