What Does GOLS Certified Mean?

GOLS stands for Global Organic Latex Standard. It is a certification framework for organic latex and its chain of custody—not a mattress comfort rating.

What the claim is useful for

A GOLS claim helps shoppers verify that latex identified as organic is produced and processed under an audited standard. When a manufacturer cites GOLS, look for which latex component carries the certification and whether supporting documentation is available.

What GOLS does not tell you

• Whether the mattress will feel soft or firm to you.
• Whether the support core is comfortable.
• Whether every non-latex component is organic.
• Whether the mattress is a good value for your budget.
