Environmentally friendly mattresses offer potential health benefits and reduced environmental impact. They may have an above average lifespan as well, as natural products tend to last longer than synthetic materials. It’s a good idea to consider a green mattress when you’re choosing your next mattress.

Of course, it’s important to know the difference between a truly green mattress and one that’s greenwashed. A truly environmentally friendly mattress will have environmental certifications to support their claims, while greenwashed ones typically have buzzwords but no real proof that their beds have any advantage for the environment.
