8 Best Organic Mattress Toppers, Tested by Experts

We've tested dozens of organic mattress toppers, but this one consistently stands out for its crowd-pleasing comfort and support, which earned it a recent Bedding Award. It's certified by the Global Organic Latex Standard (GOLS) and Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS). Choose between Medium-firmness Dunlop latex or Plush Talalay latex in two heights.

HOW IT PERFORMED IN OUR TESTS:

✔️ Top-performing brand: Avocado is a pioneer in the organic bedding industry for its high-quality materials and craftsmanship. Their mattresses and toppers are some of the best we've tested, and their commitment to sustainability is admirable.

✔️ Comfort and support: Our testers were impressed with how this topper changed the feel of their beds and held up over time. One who tried the 2-inch Plush version said, "It completely transformed my firm mattress into a comfortable, supportive cloud." Another tester liked how the 3-inch Medium option added more support and uniformity to his old mattress.

✔️ Some shifting: The only issue was the lack of corner straps: One user found that it shifted a bit unless she used a mattress protector.

Turmerry proves that you don't always need to shell out a large sum for quality materials: This model, like our best overall pick, is certified by GOTS and GOLS. It outperformed pricier toppers and includes premium features like zoned support. It's also the most versatile of our picks, coming in four different firmness levels and three heights, and has a 120-day sleep trial.

HOW IT PERFORMED IN OUR TESTS:

✔️ Zoned design: Compared to other toppers, this one has an ergonomic design with seven zones of varying firmness throughout for extra give or support in key areas like the lumbar region.

✔️ Pressure-relief and support: It earned high scores across the board for support, and our testers highlighted the pressure relief. One shared that while the topper contoured nicely to her body, the latex foam didn't compress under her body weight, so it was easy to comfortably change positions throughout the night.

✔️ No included cover: The 2-inch and 3-inch versions don't come with a cover, so you'll have to pay extra if you want a zippered mattress topper cover.

Our testers with chronic back and hip pain gave this pick high scores across the board for its cushioning yet supportive feel and notable pressure relief. It ships quickly, has a generous 365-day trial period and comes with a removable, washable cover.

HOW IT PERFORMED IN OUR TESTS:

✔️ Positive reviews from testers: It earned glowing feedback from our testers for its easy setup, comfortable sleeping temperature, and overall comfort. Others liked that there wasn't any noticeable odor, which is a common concern for latex.

✔️ Excellent pressure relief: Several testers called this topper "comfortable yet supportive," and one praised the pressure-relieving "ahhhhh feeling."

✔️ Removable cover: Our testers appreciated that the topper came with a cotton cover. Some wished it was a bit more substantial but appreciated that they could remove it and wash it in case of any spills.

If you're looking for added support or a firmer feel, this option from Silk & Snow is one of few brands to offer a Firm topper. While it can't completely revive a too-old mattress, the responsive latex was a hit amongst our testers for its supportive feel. We also like that you can remove the cotton cover for routine laundering.

HOW IT PERFORMED IN OUR TESTS:

✔️ Supportive feel: This topper uses dense Dunlop latex for a firmer feel that's springy with excellent resilience, helping to evenly distribute your body weight with uniform support.

✔️ Improved sleep quality: Multiple testers reported improvements in their quality of sleep after sleeping on the topper for a few weeks. One even shared that it "felt comfortable from the start."

✔️ Some shifting: The caveat was that some testers found that the topper had a tendency to shift in the night, so we recommend pairing it with a mattress protector to help keep it in place.

For an alternative to springy latex, this wool-filled mattress topper provides a plush, pillow-top-like experience with temperature regulation. It uses high quality, GOTS-certified materials (like organic cotton) for an elevated feel, but the brand doesn't offer returns due to safety and sanitary regulations.

HOW IT PERFORMED IN OUR TESTS:

✔️ Pillow-top design: If there's one thing PlushBeds excels at, it's a soft pillowy top. We were impressed by the generous loft from the ethically-sourced virgin wool fill and the softness of the organic cotton. And while pricey, it's undeniably luxurious.

✔️ Comfort & cooling: One tester compared the plush feel to a "big hug," while others swore it helped ease their back pain. Another user shared, "It is quiet, not at all hot, and feels very comfortable." While some testers were initially apprehensive about the wool fill, they found that it kept them at a comfortable body temperature.

✔️ Some shifting: We suggest pairing this topper with a mattress protector as our testers found that it didn't stay in place well if used without another layer underneath their sheets.

Instead of wool, this pillow-top topper uses shredded latex for a plush feel that doesn't compromise on support. It felt just as indulgent and luxurious in our tests with an added springy texture from the latex foam. It's a bit of a splurge, but the price point is justified given the high-quality materials and meticulous construction.

HOW IT PERFORMED IN OUR TESTS:

✔️ Pillow-top design: Compared to other latex mattress toppers on the market, this one has both a unique design and feel. However, if you typically sleep on a down- or fiber-filled topper, it won't feel plush enough.

✔️ High praise from side sleepers: It's a great pick for those who want a cushy feel without the sinking-in sensation associated with memory foam. Testers who sleep on their side gave it top scores for its decadent pressure relief. One shared, "I am not exaggerating when I say it transformed my sleep. I slept like a baby from the first night."

✔️ Support: Others underscored the sturdy support and reported improved sleep: "I felt more refreshed when waking up than usual," one tester said.

Compared to similar picks on our list, we like how this latex topper provides a plush, pressure-relieving surface that still feels supportive. It's also one of the easiest to shop for with the convenience of Amazon, though you can purchase it directly from Happsy as well.

HOW IT PERFORMED IN OUR TESTS:

✔️ Contouring comfort: Testers praised the exceptional comfort of this topper. One described it as "cloud-like," and remarked that the plush, contouring feel was perfect for sleeping on her side. Others appreciated the minimal odor.

✔️ Top scores from side sleepers: The soft cushioning still felt sturdy in our tests, which is great for side sleepers, who need a soft (but not too soft) surface to avoid stress on the shoulders or hips.

✔️ Edges didn't align well with some mattresses: The snag with this one is that the topper didn't align perfectly with some mattresses in our tests, but users liked the comfort above all else.

While thinner than our other picks at 1.5 inches, this topper is filled with temperature-regulating wool, which makes it a great option for both hot and cold sleepers. Unlike other styles, it features corner straps for a secure fit and is fully washable.

HOW IT PERFORMED IN OUR TESTS:

✔️ Top-performing brand: Coyuchi is one of the most well-known organic bedding brands around. From its cotton mattress pad to its crinkled percale sheets, its products are consistently top performers in our tests for their high-quality look and feel. Plus, its commitment to sustainability is nothing to scoff at.

✔️ Temperature regulation: Testers who sleep hot gave this topper high scores for keeping them at a comfortable body temperature despite temperature fluctuations. One wished that it was a bit more substantial and plush but still agreed that it altered the feel of her Purple mattress.

✔️ Washable design: Very few mattress toppers can be washed and dried in a machine. Our testers, especially those who suffer from night sweats, appreciated this feature and reported no issues with shrinkage or change in feel.
