If you’re trying to live a non-toxic lifestyle, you’ve likely switched out your household cleaners and beauty products for safer options. But what about your mattress? Unfortunately, most mattresses on the market contain formaldehyde, flame retardants and emit toxic VOCs (Volatile Organic Compound) that are sooo bad for your health. Knowing all of this, I have been itching to replace our mattress we purchased together as newlyweds (nearly 10 years ago!) and finally got Todd on board earlier this year. After countless hours of research, we decided to go with My Green Mattress because of it’s squeaky clean ingredients and affordability. I had high hopes it would be comfortable and I’m here to tell you…. I hit the non-toxic mattress jackpot!
We’ve been sleeping on our My Green Mattress for six months now and absolutely LOVE it. We went with the Natural Escape model which is their number one best selling mattress for adults. I like a “cushy” mattress while Todd prefers something more firm, and this one is truly the best of both worlds. It’s also incredibly breathable thanks to layers of certified organic wool (which you wouldn’t think would be breathable but it is!), cotton, and latex, that meet Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) and Global Organic Latex Standard (GOLS). Todd no longer sweats while sleeping, which used to be a real struggle no matter how cool we kept the temperature at night.
I love that My Green Mattress is a family owned business. Tim, the founder, created the mattress because his daughter, Emily, suffered from eczema and environmental allergies. He wanted a mattress that was pure and healthy for his children, so he made his own. I had some questions before ordering our mattress and Tim was kind enough to hop on the phone with me. We talked for at least ten minutes as I peppered him with questions about mattress ingredients, EMF testing, and Todd’s sweating issue. He was so patient answering all my questions and his passion for his product truly shined through. It made me feel even more confident that we were making the right investment for our family!
Another thing that helped make my decision was this video comparing My Green Mattress to the Avocado Mattress, the other brand I was considering. My Green Mattress checks so many more boxes in terms of quality ingredients and comfortability. I also poured through real customer reviews from both brands and My Green Mattress reviews were overwhelmingly positive while Avocado’s are pretty mixed. The real icing on the cake is My Green Mattress‘ 120 day sleep trial. You get to try out your new mattress for 4 months and if you don’t like it, you can return it. How amazing is that?!
If you are looking for a non-toxic mattress, I cannot recommend My Green Mattress enough! They’re running a 4th of July sale right now which takes $200 off a Natural Escape mattress (the one we have) with code FREEDOM at check out. My only regret is that we didn’t buy a My Green Mattress sooner!
