What does greenguard certified mattress mean?

When a product or packaging shows the UL GREENGUARD certification mark, it indicates that the product has been tested and evaluated to meet strict chemical emission limits. Consumers looking for products with GREENGUARD certification can use UL Solutions' Sustainable Products of Trust (SPOT) database. A Greenguard-certified product is tested for more than 10,000 chemicals and VOC emissions. It meets strict low emission standards to maintain indoor air quality.

What is GreenGuard certification? Essentially, a way to know that your mattress or other household products have low levels of chemical emissions to keep indoor air quality healthy. UL Environment, an independent testing laboratory, performs rigorous tests against thousands of chemicals that may contribute to indoor air pollution. Shortness of breath indoors can cause health problems and sleep problems, especially in children. If you want to top off your mattress with an extra layer of comfort and safety, organic mattress toppers are the best option.
