Organic Crib Mattress

A crib mattress is the one piece of nursery gear your baby's body is in contact with for 12+ hours a day. That's the case for going organic, and for being specific about what "organic" actually means. Every mattress in this collection is fully certified non-toxic, built with GOTS or GOLS organic materials, and finished with covers designed to handle the realities of newborn sleep: spit-up, leaks, the 3 a.m. sheet change.

What's in the Organic Crib Mattress Collection

Two product types sit side by side here, chosen to work together from the first night home through the toddler years.

Organic crib mattresses with certified organic cotton covers, natural latex or coconut coir cores, and dual-firmness designs (firm side for infants, softer side for toddlers).
Organic mattress pads and waterproof protectors with washable, machine-friendly covers that sit between sheet and mattress without trapping heat or off-gassing.

If you came in searching for fully certified organic crib mattresses, non-toxic organic crib mattresses with waterproof covers, or an organic crib mattress with a washable cover, the full range is here, sorted by certification and core construction.

What "Certified Organic" Actually Means Here

The word organic gets used loosely in the mattress category. We carry mattresses that hold the certifications worth paying for:

GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) for organic cotton covers and fill.
GOLS (Global Organic Latex Standard) for natural latex cores.
GREENGUARD Gold for low chemical emissions, tested for over 10,000 VOCs.
CertiPUR-US on any foam components, confirming no flame retardants, formaldehyde, or heavy metals.
MADE SAFE verification on select brands.

No vinyl, no PFAS-based stain treatments, no chemical flame retardants. Waterproofing is done with food-grade polyethylene or wool, both safe against a newborn's skin.

Who This Collection Is For

Parents setting up a nursery who want the air quality, materials, and washability sorted before the baby arrives. It's also the right starting point if you're shopping a Westwood Design crib , an Oxford Baby convertible crib , or a dadada toddler bed and need a mattress sized to standard US crib dimensions (52" x 28" x up to 6" thick).

Common Questions

Is an organic crib mattress safe for a newborn? Yes, provided the infant side is firm and flat with no soft toppers or pillows, which is the AAP safe-sleep standard. Every infant-facing surface in this collection meets that brief.

Do organic crib mattresses come with waterproof covers? Most do. Look for models with a fitted, zip-off organic cotton cover over a food-grade polyethylene waterproof layer. The outer cover machine-washes; the waterproof layer wipes clean.

Will it fit my crib? Standard US full-size cribs take a 52" x 28" mattress. Mini cribs and bassinets take smaller sizes, filtered separately. For bassinet-specific bedding, see our broader Mattresses collection .

How long does an organic crib mattress last? Dual-sided models grow with your child from newborn through age 5 or 6, often longer than the crib itself.
