All in all, the mattress is a great choice for those who like a plush sleep experience. “I would highly recommend it, especially if you’re interested in switching to an eco-friendly bed—it’s an amazing alternative to a regular mattress!” Gore says. “I noticed that I tossed and turned less throughout the night while snoozing on this mattress because my body locked into position once I dozed off.”For Firmer-Leaning SleepersMy Green Mattress Natural Escape MattressUpsidesSupportive designShips in a box for streamlined deliveryDownsidesWhite-glove delivery is not an optionSpecsOrganic certifications: GOTS and GOLS certified organic, GreenGuard Gold certifiedMattress type: InnerspringHeight: 11 inchesFirmness: Medium-firmWarranty: Free shipping and returns, 20-year warranty, 120-night sleep trial periodWhen contributor Kristi Kellogg was asked if she would recommend this bed to a friend, her answer was simple: “Ab-so-lutely.” This straightforward response comes after an incredibly streamlined delivery and setup process. “The mattress showed up in a box that was as tall as me, and I was able to push it into my garage without event,” she says.The mattress itself consists of layers of organic latex and wool, plus cotton quilting, which unfurl out of the packaging into a supportive sleep surface. The medium-firm mattress is also just as comfortable as typical firm mattresses, according to Kellogg. “I feel super supported, and haven’t experienced any back pain sleeping on it,” she says. If you prefer a more pillowy experience, she also notes that My Green Mattress sells plush mattress toppers that give you an extra two inches of softness and pressure point relief.Best for a Range of SleepersAvocado Green MattressUpsidesIt has the most organic certifications in this listBoasts over 15,000 five-star reviewsHas a classic firm feelDownsidesThe medium and plush firmness levels cost extraSpecsOrganic certifications: GreenGuard Gold certified, Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certified, FSC Pure Talalay latex certified, GOTS certified organic wool and cotton, climate neutral certifiedMattress type: Latex hybridHeight: 11 inchesFirmness: Firm, medium, plush optionsWarranty: 25-year warranty, one-year sleep trialAvocado is one of the most popular mattress brands out there, and with over 15,000 five-star reviews for its flagship “Green” model, it was only a matter of time before we put it to the test ourselves. Designed for back and stomach sleepers, contributor Katy Olson has it in her space and loves that it’s “firm, but not overly firm.” While she has the standard firmness level, you can also choose between medium feel for a pillow top layer or plush for a pressure-relieving support layer. Plus, she says the high-quality materials have even helped relieve some of her nightly sneezing from allergies. It consists of GOLS-certified organic Dunlop latex, GOTS-certified organic wool and cotton, plus nearly 1,379 individually wrapped support coils. This combination is designed to target seven ergonomic zones that prop your body up while you snooze.For Side SleepersHappsy Organic MattressUpsidesGreat for people who need more supportIncludes four support and soft layersDownsidesLight alfalfa smell upon mattress unboxing, according to our testerOnly two firmness options offered, and may be too firm for certain types of sleepersSpecsOrganic certifications: GOTS certifiedMattress type: HybridHeight: 10 inchesFirmness: Medium-firm and plush-firm optionsWarranty: Free shipping and returns, 20-year warranty, 120-night sleep trialJust like the other bed-in-a-box experience noted above, Kellogg was “shocked and delighted by how easy it was to remove the rolled up, compressed mattress and then watch as it unrolled and sprung to life.” Kellogg says it’s an “undeniably firm” bed that “still has ample cushioning to keep it comfortable” for any sleeping position—especially side sleepers who could use some soft support.She loves her Happsy bed for its use of eco-friendly materials like organic cotton and wool backed by a 100% GOTS organic certification. “Additionally, they are free of the glue and adhesives that are typically found in between a mattress’ comfort layers and coil systems.”More AD-Approved Organic MattressesBirch Natural MattressUpsidesStrong edge supportSoft yet supportive designDownsidesIt has a limited lifetime warrantySpecsOrganic certifications: Fair Trade, GreenGuard Gold, GOLS certifiedMattress type: HybridHeight: 11 inchesFirmness: Medium-firmWarranty: Limited lifetime warranty, 100-night sleep trialEven stripped of its bedding, this mattress makes a great first impression on design alone. “The details in the color and materials made it stand out right out of the box,” says senior digital design editor Zoë Sessums. “It’s firm, but doesn’t feel stiff, and soft without making you sink—to me, it’s Goldilocks perfection.” For context, on a firmness scale of one to 10 on the site, it ranks at about a seven. It’s also designed with cradling comfort in mind. The mattress cover is made with organic cotton, which has a soft and stretchy design as well as a breathable feel. For those who like to sit on the side of the bed, this mattress also has two reinforced side edges for extra edge support.Parachute Eco MattressUpsidesAmple giveStylish constructionDownsidesShort sleep trialSpecsOrganic certifications: While the site doesn’t note specific certifications, the brand claimsthat the bed is made from 100% certified organic cotton, tempered steel, and pure New Zealand woolMattress type: HybridHeight: 12 inchesFirmness: Medium-firmWarranty: 90-day sleep trial, 10-year warranty, and free white-glove delivery and returnsFrom duvet covers to sheet sets, Parachute Home is one of the best places to buy bedding for more reasons than one—starting with its mattress. Like the airy linens the brand is known for, this mattress is breathable from its internal steel pocketed coils—which contains five times as many as a standard bed. It also boasts additional layers of pure New Zealand wool and cotton. Contributor Kristen Flanagan has the bed in her space and considers it just right for her sleep preferences: Not too firm, but not too soft, good motion isolation, and very intentionally made.Although it has a firm design, the actual feel of the mattress took Flanagan by surprise. “There is plenty of give, but you don’t sink into it or leave an imprint. My back feels very supported. The hand-tufting makes the top soft but not too mushy,” she says, adding that its balanced support converted her into a medium-firm mattress person.Coyuchi Natural REM MattressUpsidesGreat for use with or without a box springDownsidesLow-lying heightSpecsOrganic certifications: GOTS certified organic cotton and wool and GOLS certified organic latexMattress type: HybridHeight: 11 inchesFirmness: Medium-firmWarranty: 365-night sleep trial, lifetime warranty, free shipping and returnsSenior commerce editor Nashia Baker sings this hybrid mattress’ praises for its combination of contouring comfort and support. While we’re used to resting on Coyuchi’s soft bed sheets, this mattress is great for its plush hand feel. And despite being the retailer’s first-ever mattress, the bed excels at accommodating all sleep positions, Baker says. As a self-proclaimed combination sleeper, she understands the woes of side, back, and stomach sleepers alike, but praises the blend of materials (like organic wool, latex, cotton, and coils) for keeping her cozy and propped up during sleep. “This bed has just enough give to feel comforting and support from the coils to maintain its shape, which I have a strong feeling will last for many years to come,” she affirms.Brentwood Home Oceano Luxury Hybrid MattressUpsidesIncludes cushy planted-based foamStrong cooling technologyHandcrafted in the U.S.DownsidesLess ideal for those looking for back supportSpecsOrganic certifications: GOTS certified organic wool and cotton, CertiPUR-US certified cooling gel memory foam with BioFoam, natural silk fibersMattress type: Memory foamHeight: 14 inchesFirmness: Medium-softWarranty: 25-year warranty, one-year sleep trialIf you like soft mattresses made of memory foam, this Brentwood bed is a great pick. Contributor Nick Mafi loves this bed for its cradling comfort and the brand ’s manufacturing practices. “Brentwood Home has been around since 1987 and I love that they handcraft their mattresses in their own GOLS-certified factory just outside of Los Angeles,” he says. “By making their products in the US, Brentwood Home can ensure that their environmental, labor, and social responsibility standards are being met.”Mafi notes that its cooling technology is top-notch, as the blend of foam and thousands of individually pocketed coils provide ample airflow to keep him from sweating. Just keep in mind that it’s a true medium-soft mattress, so it’s most ideal for those who are looking for a plush feel like stomach sleepers. “This mattress wouldn’t be a good fit for someone who needs a huge amount of back support,” Mafi says. “It is on the softer side, so I sink in a little (which I personally find super luxurious!).”How We TestedNot to be redundant if you’re a regular AD Shopping reader, but our editors are serious about their beauty rest. We’ve put on Sleep Week for the last five years to prove it—highlighting our team’s favorite sleep must-haves for catching Z’s. Since a mattress is the core of any bedroom, we routinely test beds throughout the year by sussing out the industry’s best and sleeping on them like any reader would in their home. Our editors and contributors slept on the organic mattresses in this list for at least a month (our standard testing period) to give you their thorough reviews on how it affected their sleep.Comfort: From soft beds to mattresses designed for side sleepers, our editors pay close attention to how well they sleep on all of their beds—and this organic mattress story is no different. Our team of writers and contributors noted key callouts like firmness levels, edge support, and motion transfer to assess how easily they were able to fall and stay asleep.Materials: We prioritized beds on this list with certified organic latex, wool, and cotton. For hybrid models, we looked for steel pocketed coils as part of the build. In addition, we looked at the care labels and certifications to ensure there weren’t harmful chemicals or substances like flame retardants or fiberglass included.Temperature Regulation: Another important factor is breathability on the beds. Whether you’re a hot sleeper or just want a bed to keep you cool when summer comes around, most of the beds are naturally temperature-regulating from materials like organic latex. That aside, many hybrid mattresses are already well-ventilated due to the coils at their base that improve airflow.Sleep Trial Period: To get a real feel for the bed before fully committing, most mattress brands offer a sleep trial starting around 100 days with some even reaching up to a year.

Whether you’re snoozing in a campground or have family visiting for the holidays, these are the best sleeping pads and camping mats we’ve found to rest your weary bones.

Whether summer days are approaching or you’re a self-proclaimed hot sleeper, the best cooling pillows are the bedding essentials you need for a soothing night’s rest. Unlike standard bed pillows, these options boast airflow and breathability like no others. Plus, they’ll help keep you refreshed without having to invest in a whole cooling mattress or new A/C. But we’re not just going to talk about the accolades of a cooling pillow, we’re sharing our honest reviews about everything from gel-infused memory foam to moisture-wicking latex pillows after months—and even years—of use. We even sprinkled in some budget-friendly cooling pillows you can find on Amazon, complete with different firmness levels, that’ll help make night sweats a thing of the past.Our Top Picks for the Best Cooling Pillows:Best Overall Cooling Pillow: Purple Harmony Pillow, $199 $179A Refreshing Memory Foam Pick: My Sheets Rock The Cooler Memory Foam Pillow, $129Best for Side Sleepers: Naturepedic Organic Side Sleeper Pillow, $139 $111A Luxe Latex Pillow: Saatva Latex Pillow, $165Best Down Alternative: Casper Original Pillow, $65 $58The Budget Option: Buffy Cloud Pillow, $50 $40For consistency, all prices in this story reflect standard sizes.Browse by CategoryThe best cooling pillow, overallKelsey BorivinskyPurple Harmony PillowUpsidesSupportive designMade of natural latexDurable to maintain its shapeDownsidesPriceySpecsFill: Honeycomb GelFlex Grid, Talalay LatexCare: Machine-wash the cover separately on cold and air-dry. Spot clean the core.Sizes: Standard, kingThanks to premier cooling properties, this Purple pillow is a game changer for hot sleepers. Just take it from contributor Kelsey Borovinsky. This bedding accessory was her first foray into latex pillows, and after sleeping on it extensively, she says it was not only breathable but it also held its shape for supportive sleep. “If you like a Tempur-Pedic type of pillow that is really solid and supportive or in the market for one to support other parts of your body, this would be a great option,” she says.A refreshing memory foam pickPhoto: Nashia BakerPhoto: Nashia BakerMy Sheets Rock Cooler Memory Foam PillowUpsidesStructured pillowDense designDoesn’t flatten over timeDownsidesMight feel too firm for traditional down pillow usersSpecsFill: Bamboo rayon, memory foam, and cooling gelCare: N/ASizes: Standard, kingCombination sleepers, listen up. Senior commerce editor Nashia Baker considers herself a side and stomach sleeper and attests that she feels refreshed and comfortable no matter her sleep position with this memory foam pillow. “It has a structured build and feels slightly firm to the touch, but it shapes to my head when I lay down for a soft, cradling feel as I sleep,” she says, adding that its support helps keep neck pain at bay. “Another perk that caught me by surprise was its cooling gel pad that actually feels refreshing. It’s been a go-to when the weather heats up so I can comfortably doze off.” If you aren’t sure which side is doing the cooling, you can identify it by its “ocean blue” color. Baker adds that the pillow is responsive and needs a lot of force to even make it sink in, and she hasn’t noticed any flattening over the last year she’s used it.Best for side sleepersRachel FletcherNaturepedic Organic Latex Side Sleeper PillowUpsidesIdeal for tall peopleDoesn’t bunchComes with extra fill to customize the firmnessDownsidesOn the larger sideSpecsFill: Shredded latex fillingCare: Machine-wash the outer casing on cold and dry on medium. Spot clean the insert.Sizes: Standard/queenFor those who sleep on their sides, like commerce director Rachel Fletcher, you’ll find this Naturepedic pillow supportive and comforting. It has a shoulder cut-out designed to prevent pillow-bunching or spine-contorting. Fletcher says that it leans softer and longer than other side pillows in her bedding arsenal, plus more. “[It’s] perfect for a taller person (I’m five-two, so most people are taller than me) as well as for someone who doesn’t like a super-firm pillow,” she says. “That said, it does come with extra fill in case you want to stuff it up a bit and increase the firmness.”A luxe latex pillowSaatva Latex PillowUpsidesOrganicHotel-inspired qualityGreat head and neck supportDownsidesExpensiveSpecsFill: Microdenier fiber fill, shredded natural latex coreCare: Machine wash the cover and outer fill layer only.

Even though it’s steeper in price, she notes that these high-quality pillows are truly comfortable when put to the test. The organic latex material is naturally breathable to help regulate body temperature too.Best down alternativeCasper Sleep Original PillowUpsidesAffordableSoft yet medium-firmCooling percale weaveDownsidesNot customizable or available in different firmness levels like some other options in this listSpecsFill: Polyester microfiberCare: Unzip the outer pillow and remove the inner pillow.

Somehow the pillow stays pretty cool and it really is at some indescribable sweet spot in terms of its firmness,” she says. “But the real key is that the pillow is thick enough to work perfectly as a stand-alone sleep piece.” Luckel adds that she usually sleeps with two pillows, so that’s really saying something.The budget optionBuffy Cloud PillowUpsidesComes in three firmness levelsMade of recycled materialsDownsidesSome customers say it can feel flatter than others on the marketSpecsFill: 100% GRS-certified, BPA-free, recycled PET fillCare: Spot clean or dry clean.Sizes: Standard, kingRachel Wallace, senior entertainment editor, recommends this Buffy pillow to “anyone who is a fellow side sleeper, or anyone who likes a soft feel but craves support.” Made of natural materials like eucalyptus, the brand describes it as being incredibly breathable and even softer than down. When it arrived, Wallace thought it would feel too thin and plush for her taste, but she can confirm that it lives up to the hype. “I feel like my head is sinking into it and yet somehow my head remains supported,” she says. “My neck has been feeling great.” And for the affordable price, it’s an all-around win for a good night’s sleep.More AD-approved cooling pillowsTuft & Needle Premium PillowUpsidesDoesn’t flatten or lose cushion over timePowerful infused graphite and gel cooling comboCertiPUR-US and Greenguard Gold CertifiedDownsidesSome customers find it too soft for strong neck supportSpecsFill: FoamCare: The pillow cover is washable, but the pillow itself is not.

This bedding accessory is designed to feel soft and supportive, even more so than traditional memory foam. McLaughlin has had this pillow for over a year and says “it’s held up great—hasn’t gotten thinner or lost any of its plushness.” The high-quality Amazon pillow is often on sale for an even more affordable price too.Pillow Cube Side CubeUpsidesHelps soothe shoulder painBreathable coverCooling coreDownsidesMemory foam can soften over timeSpecsFill: Memory foamCare: Machine-wash on gentle cycle, tumble dry on low heat.Sizes: Standard-size cubeMemory foam—including that used in some of the best mattresses we’ve tested—unfairly gets a bad rap lacking temperature regulation. While some pillows can trap heat, this one is here to debunk the myth. This one gets its cooling effect from its breathable machine washable cover and patented Aero Foam Core. It’s also just as cozy. Calling it a “tiny bed,” commerce editor Audrey Lee says it helps relieve her shoulder and neck pain. “The Pillowcube is one of the longest (and most fruitful) relationships I've had with a pillow,” she says. “I'm notoriously picky when it comes to cushions (or rather my neck is) and I've never had a disappointing night's rest with this one. The memory foam has softened just a touch over the years and it's made it all the more comfortable (especially if you're a side sleeper like me).”Lauren ArzbaecherCoop Home Goods Original Loft PillowUpsidesStrong motion isolationKeeps its shape over timePlush feelDownsidesNot made of natural materials like some others on our listSpecsFill: Cross-Cut Memory Foam & Microfiber Blend (76% Visco Polyurethane Foam, 24% Polyester Gel Fiber)Care: Machine wash in cold water on the gentle cycle.

Two AD staffers have this adjustable pillow from Coop Sleep Goods and love that it keeps its shape over time since you can add or remove the fill for just the right feel. Associate commerce director Lori Keong likes how customizable and “plushy they are to snooze on in all sleep positions,” while commerce producer Lauren Arzbaecher adds that they are “life-changing” for side and stomach sleepers like herself. “The memory foam and microfiber combo has helped with movement isolation so I don’t wake up with a stiff neck anymore, plus it just feels luxurious,” Arzbaecher adds.Nest Bedding Easy Breather PillowUpsidesCustomizable firmnessHelps alleviate neck painComes in three sizes including for side sleepersDownsidesSome customers feel like the fill is a bit stiffSpecsFill: 80% Non-Toxic CertiPUR-US® Certified Virgin Foam Blend of Memory Foam and High-Response Foam, 20% Smooth Polyester FiberCare: Remove the outer cover from the pillow.

Our editors slept on these pillows for at least a month to see how their sleep was transformed, paying special attention to the factors below.Cooling Technology: Special features like gel-infused pads make several of these pillows feel cool to the touch, while others feature add-ons like moisture-wicking covers. Otherwise, organic materials like latex are a great way to go since they are naturally breathable.Material: Most of the picks on this list are made of memory foam, latex, or a blend of down alternative fills like foam and microfiber. All of the above are known for being cozy to snuggle up with at night, however, we paid close attention to options with machine washable covers, too, for easy maintenance.Sleep Positions: Whether you’re a stomach sleeper or side sleeper, you’ll want to keep your sleep position in mind to make sure you don’t wake up with aches and pains. Like our Naturepedic pick, some pillows have a U-shape that contours around the body for side sleepers. We’ve included adjustable pillows in our list, too, so you can customize the fill and firmness level to meet your needs, no matter your sleep position.FAQsAre cooling pillows really worth it?If you ask us, we say a unanimous yes. The key to finding one that actually feels cooling is to look out for phase change materials, which essentially means there’s a combo between a breathable design—like natural fabrics such as latex—and a moisture-wicking cover to help keep you from overheating.Should you use a pillowcase on a cooling pillow?If your pillow has a machine-washable cover, you technically don’t have to use a pillowcase. However, if you want added coverage for your pillow, opting for a cooling pillowcase made of a crisp material like percale can make it feel even more comfortable.

Looking back, there are a few mistakes I made while traveling internationally with my grandma. Emily Schlorf 2025-05-13T14:12:01Z Save Saved Read in app This story is available exclusively to Business Insider subscribers. Become an Insider and start reading now. Have an account? In summer 2024, I traveled with my grandma, mom, and sister to Montreal. I wish I'd thought more about my grandma's physical needs when planning the itinerary. It would've been nice to have more downtime in our schedule, too. Despite living 1,800 miles apart, my 81-year-old grandma and I have always been close. We share a love for "Downton Abbey," cross-stitch, and strong coffee, and I couldn't imagine spending weeks in the summer anywhere but her sunny kitchen table in central Minnesota.Of course, I'd be naive to assume my time with her is unlimited. That's one reason my grandma, mom, sister, and I decided to embark on a trip to Montreal together last summer.Although I'm grateful we were able to take this trip, it could have gone a lot smoother had I known these three things about traveling with an older relative. The itinerary should have reflected everyone's physical needs, not just my own I should've considered how long it would take my grandma to get to excursions like our afternoon tea. Emily Schlorf I'm the most frequent traveler in my family, so I took on all the planning myself and approached the task the same way I do for solo travel: leaving no stone unturned.I thought my grandma would be well-prepared for the long days, given that she walks 3 miles a day and eats a far more balanced diet than I do.What I failed to consider, though, was how difficult it would be for her to walk on the uneven cobblestone streets. On our first day in the city, we nearly missed an afternoon tea reservation since I didn't factor in the slower pace we'd have to take to accommodate my grandma's careful steps.I also didn't realize just how exhausting a full-day Three Pines tour would be. Although fantastic — with stops at a monastery, local museum, and five-star resort for lunch — our visit to the villages that inspired the fictional location of my grandma's favorite mystery series was nine hours long. My family and I went on a nine-hour tour of Three Pines. Emily Schlorf As the day progressed, we took turns snoozing in the back seat of our tour guide's van. Upon arriving back at the bed and breakfast, my grandma exclaimed how long of a day it was; and I didn't disagree.Similarly, I didn't consider my grandma's physical limitations when choosing restaurants. Although they weren't lacking in ambiance — picture patios swallowed in bougainvillea and cool, brutalist interiors overlooking Lake Saint Louis — the dim lighting and small font sizes made it challenging for her to read the menu.My mom, sister, and I mitigated my grandma's vision issues by taking turns reading the menu aloud, line by line, but that got old fast.In retrospect, I wish I'd shown up equipped with solutions, such as finding the menu online so she could zoom in on my phone or reminding her to bring her readers, to improve everyone's dining experience. A long trip means extended time away from routinesEveryone gets to a point on vacation when they're ready to return home, but I would argue that the feeling is stronger for older adults like my grandma, who travel once or twice a year and may be used to a strict daily routine.Although my grandma never expressed this feeling to me outright, I noticed as the days went on, she became less game for her granddaughters' plans.For example, on our last evening, my sister and I wanted to check out the shops lining Saint-Laurent Boulevard, but my grandma preferred to have takeout in the hotel.We compromised, and my sister and I walked to the boulevard to pick up dinner, but we ditched our shopping plan since we felt bad keeping my mom and grandma waiting.I wish we'd had more downtime together One of my favorite memories from the trip was when we spontaneously visited a speakeasy. Emily Schlorf Instead of jam-packing every day with new experiences, I wish I'd taken my foot off the gas as the trip progressed — for my grandma's sake as well as my own.As we reached days five and six of the trip, my excitement for the activities I planned dwindled, and I found myself wishing I hadn't planned them at all.Besides, the memories I cherish most from the trip weren't the museums or guided tours, they were the unplanned ones: a shared bottle of wine with our bed and breakfast hosts, a visit to an outdoor antique market, and a nightcap at a speakeasy.Despite the challenges, I'd love to travel with my grandma again I would love to go on another trip with my grandma. Emily Schlorf To anyone contemplating a multigenerational trip, I say do it, but be more considerate than I was. Take time to plan the trip together, think of everyone's needs, and be content with slowing down.Strolling through the city hand-in-hand with my grandma, I learned that it's OK to leave some stones unturned, because the real joy comes from who you're turning them with.
