We just made a BIG upgrade in our house… after six kids and 17 years with our queen organic Savvy Rest mattress, we finally went from a queen to a KING! 😂
And there was really no question which mattress we would buy…another Savvy Rest! Here’s why my Savvy Rest mattress is THE BEST organic mattress you can buy. 👇
——————————
When I was diagnosed with cancer in 2008 at 26, one of the first things my husband and I did was start looking at everything in our environment differently.
We had decided that I was going to pursue healing naturally, and that meant we wanted to reduce unnecessary chemical exposures wherever we reasonably could (not just in my food and personal care products, but throughout our home.)
We had gotten married only a few months before my diagnosis and had to toss EVERYTHING toxic we got as wedding gifts. Our brand new-teflon pan set, plastic mixing bowls, scented candles….ALL HAD TO GO! Then we remembered our mattress. 🤪
We had been generously gifted a brand-new Tempur-Pedic mattress.
——————————
It was BRAND NEW.
And getting rid of it was honestly one of the hardest changes we made at the time. (The off gassing was brutal on the Tempur-Pedic and gave us headaches!)
——————————
We were newly married, facing cancer, already spending money on so many things – and now we were going to replace a perfectly new mattress with an organic one. It was a huge bummer.
But I kept coming back to one thing:
We spend roughly a third of our lives sleeping.
If there was anywhere in our home where I wanted to be especially thoughtful about the materials surrounding us for 7, 8, or 9 hours every night, our mattress was it.
So we saved for 6 months and bought a Savvy Rest organic mattress.
And I am SO glad we did.
That mattress has now been through 17 YEARS of marriage, pregnancies, babies, toddlers climbing into our bed, 4 home births…and SIX kids. 🤪
And get this:
It is still in amazing condition!
——————————
The ONLY reason we replaced it is because, after six children, we wanted a cozier fit for when they all piled in. 😂
Our original Savvy Rest isn’t going anywhere – it is moving straight into our guest room!

Why I love Savvy Rest so much
There are a lot more mattresses marketed as “natural” or “organic” today than there were back in 2008, so I think it’s really important to look beyond the marketing and actually look at the materials and certifications.
——————————
Here are some of the reasons Savvy Rest continues to stand out to me:
🌿 Certified organic materials
Their organic mattresses use natural latex along with certified organic cotton and certified organic wool.

🌿 GOTS-certified mattresses AND facilities
This is a big one for me. Savvy Rest’s organic mattresses are GOTS-certified, and their production facilities are GOTS-certified as well. I always prefer meaningful third-party certifications over simply seeing the word “natural” on a website.

🌿 GREENGUARD Gold Certified
Their organic mattresses have earned GREENGUARD Gold certification, which involves stringent standards for low chemical emissions into indoor air.

🌿 Natural latex instead of conventional polyurethane foam
Their layered mattresses use natural Dunlop and/or Talalay latex. Latex is also incredibly durable—which, considering ours survived 17 years, three moves, and six children, I can personally attest to! 😂

🌿 You can customize your comfort
One of my favorite things is that many of their mattresses allow you to choose different combinations of soft, medium, and firm latex layers. Couples can even customize each side differently on select mattresses. (Ours is a Serenity model and we were able to do this on ours!)

🌿 A 20-year limited warranty on many of their mattresses
This is another reason I feel so good about the investment. Many of Savvy Rest’s main mattress models come with a 20-year limited warranty—and after seeing how beautifully our first mattress held up for 17 years, I can absolutely understand why they stand behind them for that long.

And while there are definitely less expensive mattresses out there, this is one of those purchases where our experience has taught me that quality matters.
17 years later, we’re buying the same brand again because it also turned out to be an incredibly comfortable, incredibly durable mattress.
That feels like a pretty good return on our original investment. ❤️
