Natural Wool and Latex Mattress, 6.5 in

One of the cleanest material stacks a mattress can have. It sits at 2 rather than 1 for the brand-disclosed plastic shipping wrap and the certifications that remain claims pending registry checks; if those verify, this is a 1.

2 / 10 Low plastic footprint $$$$

Dunlop latex core, western US wool, and organic cotton canvas with a wool-only fire barrier and no polyfoam anywhere. Two honest asterisks: it ships wrapped in upcycled plastic, and the wool is eco, not certified organic.

How this score breaks down

Plastic in the product and its packaging Plastic-free
GOLS-claimed, FSC-claimed Dunlop natural latex from India; domestic Premium Eco Wool the brand itself notes is not certified organic; GOTS-certified organic cotton canvas, untreated and undyed. Fire barrier is wool alone: no chemicals in this mattress per the brand, meeting 16 CFR part 1632 per the sewn-in label. No coils, no polyfoam, no synthetic latex anywhere.
Microplastic shedding and leaching Doesn't shed
Wool and cotton shed natural fiber only; the latex core is foam, not fiber. No synthetic textile components are disclosed anywhere in the build.
End of life: persistence and recovery Mostly recovers
Arrives wrapped in plastic upcycled from the brand’s supply chain, brand-disclosed. Recyclable, repairable, or genuinely recovered; low persistence.
Plastic-derived chemicals of concern Some concern
Some plastic-contact chemistry is possible; see the notes.
Transparency and verification Partly disclosed
Very good on layers, latex type, wool sourcing, and the fire barrier. Gaps: adhesives not stated, the GOLS certificate belongs to an unnamed latex supplier, and the GOTS facility entry and OEKO-TEX label number await one-click registry verification.

Strengths

  • Full layer stack disclosed
  • Wool-only fire barrier, no chemical FR
  • Handmade to order in Washington
  • Wool tested for heavy metals, phthalate testing cited

Trade-offs

  • Ships in disclosed plastic wrap
  • Wool is eco, not certified organic
  • No returns, 20% restocking on cancellation
  • GOLS and OEKO-TEX not yet registry-verified
