My Green Mattress Wins Good Housekeeping’s 2021 Parenting Award

"We started My Green Mattress in 2007 as a solution to relieve our infant daughter's symptoms as she was experiencing allergies and skin sensitivities. She needed a crib mattress that was hypoallergenic and nontoxic," says father of five and owner, Tim Masters. "We quickly realized that there were many other families with similar challenges, and we made it our mission to offer safe and affordable certified organic mattresses to families across the USA." 

The Emily Organic Crib Mattress was recognized by Good Housekeeping in its "Best Supreme Sleep Sensations/ Best-in-Class Bedding" category for Organic Crib Mattress. The Emily Organic Crib Mattress is safe, healthy, breathable, and sustainable. This dual sided mattress is handcrafted with a firm innerspring and a layer of GOLS certified organic coir - a supportive, yet pressure-relieving pad made from organic coconut fibers. It is finished with a soft, GOTS certified organic cotton and wool quilted cover which acts as a natural flame retardant. These responsibly sourced, nontoxic materials keep babies sleeping safely and prevent exposure to the off-gassing of chemical flame retardants and polyurethane foams that are often found in conventional crib mattresses.

The Emily Organic Crib Mattress is available at an affordable price point of $259 and ships free to the continental U.S. All mattresses are proudly built by hand in the family-owned factory located in Willowbrook, Illinois. Each mattress comes with a risk-free 120-Night Sleep Trial and a 10-year warranty.
