While many mattress manufacturers label their products as organic, there is not a clear set of requirements that mattresses must meet in order to be labeled organic. There are a couple of standards that most manufacturers choose to follow.StandardsOne commonly used standard is Oeko Tex 100, but this is misleading. Products that are certified by Oeko Tex are tested for potential harmful substances, and manufacturing facilities are tested to make sure they are following safe practices, but does not specifically require materials to be organic.Other StandardsAnother common set of standards that mattress manufacturers follow are National Association of Organic Mattress Industry (NAOMI) standards.Textile SpecificationsNAOMI standards require that the mattress be free of synthetic fibers and that no fabric can have been treated with ANY toxins.
