Organic Isn’t a Feeling. It’s a Certificate.
Organic has a look. Unbleached fabric, a field at sunrise, a handwritten label. It’s a lovely look, and it proves nothing.
What proves it is a certificate: an independent body checking, every year, that what a brand says is what’s actually inside the product.
Two standards worth knowing
GOLS, the Global Organic Latex Standard, covers organic latex, from the plantation all the way to the finished product. A GOLS-certified mattress has been checked as a whole, not just one ingredient.
GOTS, the Global Organic Textile Standard, covers organic fibres and fabrics, such as wool and cotton. It follows them from the farm through every stage of processing.
Where Huxberry stands
- Our latex mattresses are GOLS certified, as finished products.
- The organic wool and cotton inside them are GOTS-certified materials, from certified suppliers.
- Our organic-cotton bed linen and pillows are GOTS certified.
We renew and check these every year.
One thing to watch for when you shop
A single certified ingredient doesn’t make a whole mattress organic. “Made with organic cotton” might describe the cover and nothing else. So when a brand says organic, ask two simple questions: what exactly is certified, and can I see the certificate? A good brand will answer both without hesitation.
Why we care
We started Huxberry as parents who wanted to know what our own family was sleeping on. You deserve the same answer, and one you can check.
