Birch - Natural Mattress

I bought a birch mattress a year and a half ago. It was a little firm for me as a side sleeper but I got a sleep on latex topper and the combination is perfect so I'm happy with it.

Birch has a good natural mattress for kids.

Birch Natural is a genuinely good pick for allergies, latex coils cotton and wool are all naturally hypoallergenic so you're in good territory there. The main difference with the Luxe is just the added pillow top and extra latex layer so if you want more surface cushioning it's worth the upgrade, if not the regular is fine. If you want another certified option to compare maybe check out Brooklyn Bedding's EcoSleep Luxe too, organic cotton and natural latex with eco credentials so it checks the same boxes at a different price point.

True that they are not GOTS certified, but they have certification from GOLS and GREENGUARD GOLD certified. I think this argument mixes up product-level certification with material-level certification. A mattress doesn’t need the entire finished build to be GOTS-certified to still use legitimately certified organic wool, cotton, or latex inside it. Birch Natural is still a great organic latex mattress. Full GOTS on a completed mattress is rare because the certification covers the whole manufacturing chain.

RIGHT! I had the same experience. Mine smelled like a tire shop lol. The Birch natural one barely had any scent, just like cotton and air

Ugh same thing happened to me. Bought this “eco” mattress that was supposed to be organic but smelled like hot glue and chemicals for weeks. I finally caved and got a Birch Natural Mattress, no weird smell at all.

My recent birch natural mattress was a disaster. It was so poorly made and it was so annoying to have to pay $100 to dispose of their poorly made mattress, it wasn’t even the correct size! I would avoid them at all costs. We got an engineered sleep mattress (the duo) to replace it with and it’s amazing so far!

If talking about natural, birch is the top option. The organic wool they use is naturally fire resistant, natural latex is hypoallergenic. lot of parents noticed their kids sleeping better and having fewer allergy issues after switching to natural materials.

I second this, I have the Birch natural in my guest room and it's been great

I bought a Birch queen size in the former of the two options they offer. I really wanted to love it. It wasn’t firm enough for us. We got it to replace an 8 year old big box store foam mattress filled with VOCs and who knows what. I love the look of Birch and the materials used. My review is that it’s not very tall, which I kind of like. When changing sheets it’s easy to lift the corners but it’s bendy. The natural materials smell nice. I felt safe sleeping on such a clean mattress, without toxins. We spent over 80 days on it and decided to take advantage of the 100 night sleep trial. Im still waiting for it to be picked up (it’s taking up space in my hallway!) We are fortunate enough to have the money for Naturepedic which we’ve been on for just over two weeks. My side is the light firm option and my husbands is medium firm, they have 3 firms and a few options softer. We like it so much better for the firmness and longevity, you can replace the firmness layers which would extend the life of it. It’s really neat actually! We wanted Naturepedic in the first place and when money came in and we were not liking Birch he ordered it before we even confirmed return of the Birch. Then I remembered a great resource, [Interior Medicine](https://www.interiormedicine.com/mattresses). There are a handful of mattresses reviewed there, they might have some in your price range. Good luck!
