My top picks for best natural organic mattresses and performance test results

---

#1. Birch Natural

Pros

• Actively cooling
• Great edge support
• Good for all sleeper types

Cons

• Not the best for couples
• A bit pricey

20% off coupon code: SLEEPLINE20

Why it’s the best

The Birch Natural is backed by some of most reputable organic certifications a mattress can receive.

Out of all the mattresses I have tried on this list, the Birch Natural has by far the best edge support.

It’s also temperature regulating, which not only helps you sleep cool when it’s hot but also keeps you warm when it’s cold.

Specs at a glance

Birch Natural Performance Test Data

The Birch Natural sits on a 6.5 on the mattress firmness scale giving it a medium-firm feel.

This firmness level is good for all sleeper types.

The thing is though, if you’re a very petite side sleeper, you may find it to be a little too firm for your pressure points.

We rate the Birch Natural mattress a 7 out of 10 when it comes to comfort and pressure relief.

Had it been a little softer I would have rated it higher. Since it can be a little too firm for petite side sleepers, it gets a 7 from me. But for all other sleeper types, it provides more than enough pressure relief and support.

We rate the Birch Natural mattress a 9.5 out of 10 when it comes to cooling.

This one of the coolest organic mattresses I’ve slept on, making it a great choice if you sleep hot.

We rate the Birch Natural mattress a 6 out of 10 when it comes to motion isolation.

It’s bouncier than most latex mattresses due to its thick coil unit. For that reason, I think it’s best for single sleepers rather than couples.

We rate the Birch Natural mattress an 8.5 out of 10 when it comes to edge support.

It contains reinforced edge coils which gives it really good edge support. This helps you use more of the mattress surface but not only that, you also won’t find yourself rolling off the bed if you’re the type of sleeper who likes sleeping close to the edge.

Alternate pick: Birch Luxe Natural

If you need something plusher, check out the Birch Luxe Natural.

Similar in construction to the base model Natural, the Luxe Natural differs in that it contains a Euro top.

This gives it a plusher feel and makes it a really good choice if you’re a side sleeper.

#2. Nolah Natural

Pros

• Cooling and hypoallergenic
• Supports back and joints
• Helps provide proper spinal alignment
• Good for all sleeper types

Cons

• May be too firm for lightweight sleepers
• Slight motion transfer

$50 off coupon code SLEEPLINE50

Why it’s one of the best

Out of all the mattresses on this list, I found the Nolah Natural to be the one that helps the most when it comes to achieving proper spinal alignment

This is crucial when you suffer from back pain.

Coming in at a medium-firm, the Nolah Natural is good for all sleeper types including heavier-set sleepers. 

While most of the latex mattresses on this list are certified-organic, the Nolah Natural is one of the few that’s also certified by Greenguard Gold.

Specs at a glance

Nolah Natural Performance Test Data

The Nolah Natural sits an a 6 on the mattress firmness scale giving it a medium-firm feel.

It’s good for all sleeper types from side sleepers to back and stomach sleepers.

We rate the Nolah Natural a 9 out of 10 when it comes to comfort and pressure relief.

You get great pressure relief and support. I also found it to be the best mattress on this list when it comes to providing proper spinal alignment. This is definitely a brand that should be on your short list if you have back issues.

We rate the Nolah Natural a 9 out of 10 when it comes to cooling.

With its multiple organic latex foam layers as well as its Ascension coil unit, it provides a cooling sleeping experience all through the night. I have no problem recommending it to hot sleepers.

We rate the Nolah Natural a 6.5 out of 10 when it comes to motion isolation.

This is where the mattress fails us a little – I experienced a significant amount of motion transfer when I tried it out with a partner. I do not recommend it for couples.

We rate the Nolah Natural an 8.5 out of 10 when it comes to edge support.

While it’s not the strongest of the bunch it still offers more than enough edge support.

#3. Bear Natural

Pros

• Good for couples
• Vegan
• Plush and luxurious
• Good for all sleeper types

Cons

• Edge support is average
• Might be too soft for heavier-set people

35% off coupon code: SLEEPLINE35

Why it’s one of the best

Aside from being naturally cooling and hypoallergenic, the Bear Natural is soft and plush – I actually felt like I was sleeping on a 5-star hotel bed.

Because of its inherent softness, the Bear Natural is good for side sleepers.

Since latex foam is more responsive than man-made foam, it can support other sleeper types as well.

Specs at a glance

Bear Natural Performance Test Data

The Bear Natural sits at a 4.5 on the mattress firmness scale giving it a medium-soft feel.

But even with its inherent softness, it’s responsive enough to support all sleeper types.

We rate the Bear Natural mattress a 9.5 out of 10 when it comes to comfort and pressure relief.

This mattress did very well in all of my hands-on comfort and pressure relief tests.

We rate the Bear Natural mattress a 7.5 out of 10 when it comes to cooling.

This mattress sleeps very cool. The natural heat-regulating properties of latex are enhanced by the coil unit, which I found provided a significant amount of airflow.

We rate the Bear Natural mattress an 8.5 out of 10 when it comes to motion isolation.

It absorbs cross-mattress movement very well. I barely felt any motion transfer when I tried the mattress out with a partner.

We rate the Bear Natural mattress a 7 out of 10 when it comes to edge support.

Though not the best, the edge support is not the worst either. I would say it’s pretty average.

#4. Leesa Natural

Pros

• Offers responsive lumbar support
• Good for chronic pain
• Cooling and breathable
• Sustainable and eco-conscious

Cons

• Can be pricey for some
• Edge support could be better

$50 off coupon code: SLEEPLINE50

Why it’s one of the best

This is one of the more stylish options on this list.

That probably has something to do with the fact that it’s actually a collaboration between Leesa and high-end furniture maker West Elm.

But it’s not all about the looks here. The performance is top-notch as well.

I like that it’s an ‘all-rounder’. Leesa Natural feels plush enough for side sleepers but firm enough for back and stomach sleepers.

I also like the cotton quilted cover of the Leesa Natural mattress acts almost like a plush pillow top that adds to its luxe feel.

Specs at a glance

Leesa Natural Performance Test Data

The Leesa Natural sits squarely on a 5 on the mattress firmness scale giving it a true medium feel.

This makes it suitable for all sleeper types from strict side sleepers and combination sleepers to back and stomach sleepers.

We rate the Leesa Natural a 9 out of 10 when it comes to comfort and pressure relief.

Just from laying down on the mattress I could tell how comfortable it is. It also did very well in my pressure relief tests.

We rate the Leesa Natural an 7.5 out of 10 when it comes to cooling.

The open-cell construction of the foam used in this mattress helps with airflow. This is a decently-cool mattress to sleep on.

We rate the Leesa Natural an 8.5 out of 10 when it comes to motion isolation.

The multiple foam layers do a great job of absorbing cross-mattress movement. I barely felt any motion transfer when I tried the mattress out with a partner.

We rate the Leesa Natural a 6.5 out of 10 when it comes to edge support.

Here’s the downside – there’s barely any edge support. You may find yourself rolling off the edge if you sleep too close to it.

#5. Happsy Organic Mattress

Pros

• Fiberglass-free
• Offers responsive support
• Cooling
• Fully organic

Cons

• Poor edge support
• Slight motion transfer

15% off coupon code: SLEEPLINE15

Why it’s one of the best

While most latex mattresses can be very expensive, the Happsy is one of the more affordable options out there.

Happsy manages to keep their costs down by sourcing and manufacturing everything in-house, instead of relying on outsourced suppliers like most other brands.

That’s a MASSIVE point in its favor.

I also like that the Happsy is fiberglass-free.

It also sleeps very cool (always a good feature for hot sleepers like me).

Specs at a glance

Happsy Organic Mattress Performance Test Data

The Happsy Organic Mattress comes in two different firmness levels: medium-soft and medium-firm.

The medium-soft version is best for side sleepers and combination sleepers while the medium-firm version is best for those who sleep mostly on their backs and stomachs.

We rate the Happsy Organic Mattress an 8 out of 10 when it comes to comfort and pressure relief.

Though not as cradling as memory foam, this mattress still provides enough support and pressure point relief for all your main pressure points.

We rate the Happsy Organic Mattress a 9 out of 10 when it comes to cooling.

The components in this mattress are made from organic latex which does not retain heat the way man-made foam can. My testing process showed that this is one of the coolest latex hybrid mattresses you can sleep on.

We rate the Happsy Organic Mattress a 7.5 out of 10 when it comes to motion isolation.

Latex hybrids can be a little springier than most other mattress types since the material itself is naturally bouncy. So don’t be surprised when you feel a little bit of movement if you share a bed with a partner.

We rate the Happsy Organic Mattress a 6 out of 10 when it comes to edge support.

The mattress does not contain reinforced edge coils. I have to say that the edge support on this mattress is pretty weak.

#6. WinkBeds EcoCloud

Pros

• Great edge support
• Cooling
• Good for back and stomach sleepers
• Supports back and joints

Cons

• Not recommended for side sleepers
• Poor motion isolation

Why it’s one of the best

I added this one to the list because it’s a bit firmer than most other organic mattress brands (a trait that’s very valuable for back and stomach sleepers in particular).

I also like that the WinkBeds EcoCloud did well in my cooling tests.

The fact that it has great edge support is just icing on the cake.

Specs at a glance

WinkBeds EcoCloud Performance Test Data

The WinkBeds EcoCloud sits on a 6 on the mattress firmness scale, but my tests revealed that it’s actually a bit firmer which makes it best for stomach and back sleepers.

Some side sleepers may find it to be comfortable (especially ones who weigh heavier than average), but if you’re a lightweight it’s going to be way too firm.

We rate the WinkBeds EcoCloud a 7 out of 10 when it comes to comfort and pressure relief.

If only it were a bit softer, I would have rated it higher. Back and stomach sleepers are the only ones who will get enough comfort and pressure relief. Side sleepers should stay away.

We rate the WinkBeds EcoCloud an 8.5 out of 10 when it comes to cooling.

The layers of latex are naturally cooling and don’t retain any body heat, which in turn helps you sleep cooler.

We rate the WinkBeds EcoCloud a 6.5 out of 10 when it comes to motion isolation.

The motion-isolating properties are non-existent – you will feel every movement your partner makes if you share a bed.

We rate the WinkBeds EcoCloud an 8.5 out of 10 when it comes to edge support.

Surrounded by reinforced edge coils, the mattress offers excellent edge support which helps you use more of the mattress surface.

#7. Latex for Less Hybrid

Pros

• Good for all sleeper types
• Budget-friendly
• Responsive and pressure relieving
• Cooling

Cons

• Edge support is not the best
• Slight earthy smell

Why it’s one of the best

Of course I had to include another affordable option for those of us on a budget.

The reason I added this brand in particular is because it’s performance test data showed that it’s on par with brands that sell at much higher prices.

I also like that the Latex for Less Hybrid comes in multiple firmness options (something for everyone).

Another point in its favor is that the latex construction makes it naturally cooling and hypoallergenic.

Specs at a glance

Latex for Less Hybrid Performance Test Data

You get to choose between two firmness levels: medium and firm.

The medium version is good for all sleeper types while the firm version is best for those who sleep on their backs or stomachs.

We rate the Latex for Less Hybrid a 9 out of 10 when it comes to comfort and pressure relief.

It’s a good choice for those who suffer from chronic pain as I woke up pretty much pain-free.

We rate the Latex for Less Hybrid a 7.5 out of 10 when it comes to cooling.

As with most pure latex foam mattresses, this mattress does not retain any heat.

We rate the Latex for Less Hybrid a 7 out of 10 when it comes to motion isolation.

It may not be the best I’ve tried but it still did a good job at isolating movement. I only felt a very small amount of motion transfer when I tried the mattress out with a partner.

We rate the Latex for Less Hybrid an 8 out of 10 when it comes to edge support.

The edge support is solid for a mattress that does not contain reinforced-edge coils.

#8. Naturepedic EOS Classic

Pros

• Customizable
• Naturally cooling and hypoallergenic
• Fiberglass-free

Cons

• Expensive
• Poor edge support

15% off coupon code: SLEEPLINE15

Why it’s one of the best

The best thing about the Naturepedic EOS Classic is that you are able to customize the mattress’ firmness level to your liking so you get your desired firmness every single time.

I like that Naturepedic is very committed to using only natural and organic ingredients to the point where they don’t even use any adhesives that could be toxic.

There’s no question when it comes to comfort and support – I felt well-rested every time I woke up on the Naturepedic EOS Classic.

Like all organic latex mattresses, the Naturepedic EOS Classic mattress does not contain any fiberglass.

Specs at a glance

Naturepedic EOS Classic Performance Test Data

As I’ve mentioned, you can customize the firmness level of the Naturepedic EOS Classic to any firmness you desire from extra-soft to extra-firm making it super versatile and suitable for all sleeper types.

All you need to do is to move the layers around.

We rate the Naturepedic EOS Classic a 9 out of 10 when it comes to comfort and pressure relief.

This mattress passed all my comfort and pressure relief tests with flying colors. I like how the wool batting even feels and acts somewhat like a pillow top for added compression.

We rate the Naturepedic EOS Classic a 9.5 out of 10 when it comes to cooling.

The combination of organic latex and organic wool makes the mattress temperature-regulating. This is a very cool mattress.

We rate the Naturepedic EOS Classic a 9.7 out of 10 when it comes to motion isolation.

The multiple layers of latex foam, wool batting, and cotton batting do an excellent job of absorbing any motion transfer. I barely felt any movement when I tried the mattress out with a partner.

We rate the Naturepedic EOS Classic a 6 out of 10 when it comes to edge support.

The benefit of being able to customize the mattress is unfortunately its reason for having poor edge support. There simply isn’t enough material built-in around the edges to keep it firm enough.

#9. Sweet Zzz Honey Hybrid

Pros

• Great for couples
• Supports back and joints
• Fiberglass-free

Cons

• Medium version may be too firm for petite side sleepers
• Not as compressing as memory foam

Free mattress protector coupon: Sleepline

Why it’s one of the best

The Sweet Zzz Honey Hybrid mattress absorbs movement just as good (if not better) than most other mattresses out there.

This makes it an excellent choice for couples.

Even during hot nights, I still slept very cool on the Sweet Zzz Honey Hybrid thanks to its combination of latex foam, pocketed coils, and micro-coils which allow continuous air flow.

Specs at a glance

Sweet Zzz Honey Hybrid Performance Test Data

You get to choose between three different firmness options: medium-soft, medium-firm and firm.

Choose the medium-soft version if you’re a side sleeper. Go with medium-firm if you’re a combination sleeper. The firm version is best if you sleep on your back or stomach.

We rate the Sweet Zzz Honey Hybrid a 7.5 out of 10 when it comes to comfort and pressure relief.

The mattress did fairly well during my comfort and pressure relief tests. I didn’t feel any pain on the key pressure point areas (shoulders, hips, etc.).

We rate the Sweet Zzz Honey Hybrid an 8.5 out of 10 when it comes to cooling.

This mattress sleeps very cool. I didn’t overheat at all during my sleep tests on this mattress. I highly recommend it to those who sleep extremely hot.

We rate the Sweet Zzz Honey Hybrid an 8.5 out of 10 when it comes to motion isolation.

I barely felt any motion transfer when I tried it out with a partner making it a great choice for those who share a bed with a partner or even a pet.

We rate the Sweet Zzz Honey Hybrid a 9.5 out of 10 when it comes to edge support.

The mattress has reinforced edge coils all around the perimeter. The edge support is solid. During my roll test I didn’t fall off the mattress once.

#10. Eco Terra Hybrid

Pros

• Good for heavier-set people
• Comes in two firmness levels
• Affordable
• Cooling

Cons

• Medium version can be a little soft
• Earthy smell

Why it’s one of the best

Even with its simple construction (there are only three layers), the Eco Terra Hybrid still has a weight capacity that can rival more high-end mattress brands on the market which I appreciate.

I also found the Eco Terra Hybrid to be very cooling, which also makes it an excellent choice for those who sleep hot.

Specs at a glance

Eco Terra Hybrid Performance

You get to choose between two firmness levels: a medium-soft and a medium.

The medium-soft is best for side sleepers while the medium version is good for all sleeper types including back sleepers.

We rate the Eco Terra Hybrid a 9 out of 10 when it comes to comfort and pressure relief.

Surprisingly, it did very well in my pressure relief and comfort tests. Usually brands that only have a few layers don’t do well, but this one exceeded my expectations.

We rate the Eco Terra Hybrid a 9 out of 10 when it comes to cooling.

Latex is naturally cooling. This mattress is made out of latex. Of course it did very well in my cooling tests.

We rate the Eco Terra Hybrid a 7.5 out of 10 when it comes to motion isolation.

You may feel the smallest amount of motion transfer (especially if your partner is heavier than you) but overall I was pretty happy with how it performed when it comes to motion isolation.

We rate the Eco Terra Hybrid a 10 out of 10 when it comes to edge support.

The coil unit acts as the mattress’ base layer which gives it a sturdier, more robust edge. You will not find yourself rolling off the bed if you are the type of sleeper who likes sleeping close to the edge.

How we chose these mattresses

We picked these mattresses based on a complete list of factors that we believe make up a great natural and organic  mattress. We base them all off the following criteria:

• Pressure relief – Everyone has pressure points and this is important when it comes to choosing the right mattress. Depending on a person’s sleeping position, mattress firmness can greatly affect whether you would get enough pressure relief or not. We chose mattresses that offer maximum pressure relief.
• Cooling – Sleeping hot is the number one cause of sleeplessness among the greater population and choosing mattresses that offer superb cooling capabilities is crucial to getting a good night’s sleep.
• Firmness – Mattress firmness correlates to one’s preferred sleeping position and we chose mattresses that can suit most, if not all, sleeping positions from back sleeping to stomach sleeping and side sleeping.
• Motion isolation – Picking a mattress that offers good motion isolation is important if you share a bed with a partner. We chose mattresses that are suitable for couples.
• Edge support – Not only does edge support help (and protect!) those who prefer sleeping close to the edge of the bed, having a mattress with good edge support also provides you with a wider mattress surface.
• Durability – We chose mattresses that we know would last long and ones that come with reasonable return policies.

Conclusion

All the mattresses on this list have been chosen based on how well they did during the performance testing process in the Sleepline Testing Studio.

If you want a mattress that’s natural and organic, the brands on this list are the best ones you can choose from.
