Breathe easy with GREENGUARD Gold Certified natural and organic mattresses and bedding
The GREENGUARD Gold Certification was created to help buyers know which mattress manufacturers have proven sustainable products with low emissions that will improve your indoor air quality. Receiving this certification validates our sustainability claims so you can be sure you’re purchasing a natural mattress or bedding product that meets emissions safety standards, and produces only low volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
What do Mattresses have to do with Indoor Air Quality?
Many household products contain toxic materials that can release harsh chemicals back into the air and greatly reduce your indoor air quality.
The GREENGUARD Certification was created by UL Environment, one of the leading environmental health agencies in the world, to help you to know whether or not a product could cause indoor air pollution.
Many Birch products have received this certification, including the Natural Mattress, Luxe Natural Mattress, Plush Organic Mattress Topper, and Organic Pillow, indicating that our products are safe for indoor spaces and have been tested for volatile organic compounds (VOCs), pollutants, phthalates, and formaldehyde.
The Gold level certification indicates that we meet even stricter requirements and our products are considered safe for the indoor environments of sensitive individuals such as children and the elderly.
Birch has gone the extra mile to obtain indoor air quality certification by meeting the most stringent requirements possible for the GREENGUARD Certification Program.
To do this, we submitted our products for scientific testing in environmental chambers at the GREENGUARD Environmental Institute. They receive rigorous testing and evaluation of volatile organic compound emissions. Our certified products have been scrutinized heavily against emissions limits and found to have low emissions and total VOC. Birch GREENGUARD certified products include:
Organic Cotton
Natural Latex
We use natural latex sustainably sourced from Sri Lanka. Additionally, we source exclusively from closely monitored plantations, so you can rest assured.
We recommend customers with a latex allergy consult with your medical provider before purchasing.
Sustainable & Natural Materials
Our mattresses and bedding products are made from sustainable organic and natural materials and are guaranteed free of polyurethane foams. We use eco-friendly production methods to ensure you receive a high-quality mattress and can rest easy, knowing all sourcing and manufacturing was all done responsibly and sustainably, as we have kept the welfare of the environment not just a consideration, but a top priority.
At Birch, we know that our responsibility doesn’t end when we sell you a new mattress. One day in the very distant future, you may need to dispose of your mattress, so we want to make that as ethical and eco-friendly as possible. That’s why we have produced natural and organic mattresses that are recyclable in many locations across the U.S..
