Understanding Certifications
GOTS - Organic Textiles
The Global Organic Textile Standard sets requirements for processing textiles made with certified organic fibers, including environmental and social criteria. Check which specific fabric or product the certification covers.
OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100
Tests textile articles for harmful substances. Certification applies to the article identified on the certificate and does not, by itself, mean the material is organic.
CertiPUR-US® - Foam
Tests flexible polyurethane foam for content, emissions and durability. The certification covers the foam component, rather than the fabric cover or the entire finished product.
GOLS - Certified Latex
The Global Organic Latex Standard (GOLS) sets requirements for organic latex, including its organic content, processing, and supply chain. Certification applies to qualifying latex materials, not automatically to every finished product containing latex. Check individual product details for availability.
