Purity and Certifications
The sustainable, organic raw materials used in the manufacture of OMI luxury organic mattresses and bedding products are the finest available, and the most pure. By replacing synthetic materials with natural and organic alternatives, OMI mattresses were the first in America to achieve certification to organic standards, and remain the standard for certified purity® today.

GOLS Certified Organic Latex
Organic, botanical rubber sap is harvested from rubber trees grown on USDA certified plantations, by hand, using a sustainable process. This sap (also known as latex) is then formed into a “core” for use in mattress making. The Global Organic Latex Standard (GOLS) certified latex used in OMI mattresses and bedding is the most pure available (at least 95% pure) - free from synthetic “fillers” used in most other latex products that claim to be “all natural.”
Organic latex is durable, comfortable and breathable, providing even, responsive support and just the right amount of ‘springiness.’ Latex also sleeps cool, naturally.
GOTS Certified Organic Cotton Fabrics
Our unbleached, Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) certified organic cotton knit and woven fabrics are made from the highest quality, organic cotton fiber available, and are never chemically treated. Organic cotton fabrics are exceptionally soft and naturally beautiful.
Luxurious and durable, organic cotton fabrics feel great against your skin and perform exceptionally well over time, tending not to snag, tear, rip or stain, even after many years of normal use.
GOTS Certified Organic Wool
The GOTS certified organic wool used in OMI mattresses and bedding products is sourced from New Zealand, where family and commercial farmers adhere to strict standards in order to assure the certified purity of their fibers. Organic pastures and grazing grounds, minimal processing and humane shearing practices (along with other requirements) contribute to the organic standard, to which our wool is certified. Certified organic, New Zealand wool is limited in production and fibre must be sourced years in advance.

Global Organic Latex Standard (GOLS)
The latex cores used in the production of our mattresses and bedding are certified organic to the Global Organic Latex Standard (GOLS). This standard was developed to ensure the integrity of the supply chain for natural rubber latex sap produced and harvested on USDA certified organic plantations. The standard also ensures that latex cores be no less than 95% pure natural rubber latex by composition.
Materials and products displaying the GOLS label are produced under the watchful eye of independent organizations who regularly audit farmers and producers to ensure strict compliance with the GOLS standard, from sap production and harvesting, to core forming and all the way through to final production of complex latex products, such as mattresses.
GOLS Registration No.: CU823400
Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS)
The cotton and wool fibers, fabrics and threads used in our mattresses, foundations and bedding, as well as kitchen, bath, baby and other products displaying the GOTS seal are certified organic to the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS). The aim of this stringent standard is to define requirements that ensure the organic status of textiles in order to ultimately provide credible organic assurance to you - the end customer.
Materials and products displaying the GOTS label are produced under the watchful eye of independent organizations who regularly audit farmers and producers to ensure strict compliance with the GOTS standard, from crop growth and harvesting all the way through to final production of textile products.
