What are GOLS and GOTS Certifications? And Why They Matter.

At Your Organic Bedroom, we believe that a good night's sleep starts with a commitment to purity, sustainability, and your health. That’s why we only carry mattresses and bedding that are certified by the Global Organic Latex Standard (GOLS) and the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS). But what do these certifications mean, and why should they matter to you?

Understanding GOLS and GOTS Certifications

GOLS (Global Organic Latex Standard)

The Global Organic Latex Standard (GOLS) is a certification that ensures the latex used in our mattresses is sourced from organic plantations and processed in a way that maintains its purity. This standard not only verifies the organic status of the latex but also ensures that the production process meets strict environmental and social criteria. For a product to be GOLS-certified, it must contain more than 95% certified organic raw material.

Key benefits of GOLS-certified products include:

• Purity: Free from harmful chemicals and synthetic additives, GOLS-certified latex provides a clean, natural sleep surface.
• Sustainability: Organic latex farming promotes biodiversity and soil health, ensuring that the environment is protected.
• Ethical Production: GOLS certification includes criteria for fair wages and safe working conditions, ensuring that the people who make your mattress are treated well.

GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard)

The Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) is the leading certification for textiles made from organic fibers, including the cotton and wool used in our bedding and mattress covers. GOTS certification ensures that the entire supply chain—from harvesting the raw materials to environmentally and socially responsible manufacturing—is monitored and meets rigorous standards.

Key benefits of GOTS-certified products include:

• Health and Safety: GOTS-certified textiles are free from toxic dyes and chemicals, reducing the risk of skin irritation and allergies.
• Environmental Impact: GOTS mandates sustainable farming practices, water use efficiency, and wastewater treatment, minimizing the environmental footprint.
• Social Responsibility: Like GOLS, GOTS includes standards for fair labor practices, ensuring that workers are treated with dignity and respect.

Why These Certifications Matter to You

When you choose a mattress or bedding with GOLS and GOTS certifications, you’re not just making a purchase—you’re making an investment in your health, the environment, and the well-being of others. Here's why it matters:

1. Peace of Mind: Knowing that your mattress and bedding are free from harmful chemicals means you can sleep soundly, without worrying about toxins affecting your health.

2. Better Sleep Quality: Organic materials tend to be more breathable and moisture-wicking, helping to regulate your body temperature and improve sleep quality.

3. Supporting Ethical Practices: By choosing GOLS and GOTS-certified products, you are supporting sustainable and ethical production practices that benefit the planet and the people who produce these goods.
