As the heat of summer and the humidity of the season ramp up, having the wrong type of mattress can easily ruin your sleep. Synthetic fibers can, at times, lock in heat and disrupt your slumber.
Organic mattresses, such as our favorite Botanical Bliss Organic Latex Mattress from PlushBeds, are superior at cooling, and far better for your health (and the planet) as they're made without any harsh chemicals or materials. Plus, this mattress offers superior support to alleviate common aches and pains.
Currently ranked as our best organic mattress, it's now reduced by an incredible $1,500, making it an excellent time to upgrade your sleep space for summer and beyond.

This soft yet supportive mattress is perfect for eco-conscious shoppers. It's filled with GOLS-certified organic latex and made with GOTS-certified organic cotton and wool.
Our expert tester, Alex Temblador, who reviewed the PlushBeds Botanical Bliss Organic Latex Mattress, slept on it over the course of one long hot summer back in 2024, and described it as 'super comfortable.' So, what makes it so good?
Handcrafted in California from the world's finest organic materials, it's non-toxic, natural, and offers superior pressure relief for backs, hips, shoulders, muscles, and joints.
It's no surprise, then, that Alex found it helped to relieve her hip and back pain, and noted, 'I'd recommend it to anyone, regardless of your sleep position.'
Those same organic materials also work to wick away moisture and keep a bed cool in summer. It may sound surprising, but wool, in particular, is exceptionally good at moisture-wicking, due to its highly absorbent nature.
For that reason, the PlushBeds Botanical Bliss mattress is perfect for regulating your temperature while you rest. Certainly, writes Alex, the breathable pick is 'a great option for anyone who suffers from night sweats or hot flashes,' either through summer, or if you're a hot sleeper more generally.
The mattress also comes with a whole host of certifications that I look for in the best organic bedding: GOLS-certified organic latex, GOTS-certified organic cotton and wool, and GREENGUARD Gold-certified, for a healthier indoor environment that helps you to sleep better.

This dual-sided organic mattress is cleverly designed to suit all sleep positions. Our expert tester, Jill Waldbeiser, who reviewed the Saatva Zenhaven Mattress after a heatwave, wrote, 'Founded on natural latex and filled with organic cotton and organic wool, the Saatva Zenhaven Natural Latex Mattress strikes a great balance between bounciness and firm support.'
Organic mattresses pair perfectly with organic bedding, and this set from Piglet in Bed has quickly become one of my all-time favorites. With a blend of cotton and linen, it's soft yet laidback and lived-in, and I love all the gorgeous colorways and patterns to choose from. Each is free from harmful chemicals and dyes, and OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 certified.
It's rare to find an organic mattress under $1,500 − this one is under $900. Alex Frost, who reviewed the Earthfoam Organic Mattress, noted that it's a little soft, but a brilliant budget pick. 'The best bed should feel good for your body, good for the environment, and kind to your wallet,' she wrote. 'Supportive, sustainable, and affordable, the Earthfoam Organic Mattress ticks all of these boxes.'
I tested and enjoyed this thick yet affordable IKEA bedding. Muslin bedding has the added benefit of being super breathable in summer, as the unique waffle design enhances airflow and works to wick away moisture. I opted for the white set, for a clean and classic look, but it's also available in pink and mint green if you prefer a pop of color.
'I tested the Avocado Green Mattress for comfort, support, cooling, motion isolation, edge support, and weight bearing capacity and found that it excels across the board,' says Antonio Santoro, who reviewed the Avocado Green Mattress. 'Retailing for less than $2,000 for a Queen, it's not even that expensive for a latex mattress.'
This organic pillow from Saatva is breathable, moisture-wicking, antimicrobial, and one hundred percent hypoallergenic. The organic cotton knit cover is quilted with organic New Zealand wool for extra plushness and superior cooling properties, and it's conveniently machine-washable, too, which makes it easier to wash, dry, and care for your pillows.
