What Is GOLS Certification for Latex?

GOLS stands for Global Organic Latex Standard. It is the organic-latex standard shoppers commonly encounter when mattress brands make certified organic latex claims.

What it covers

GOLS sets requirements for organic latex products and related processing. The useful shopping habit is to tie the claim to the exact latex component or product scope.

What it does not tell you

Certification does not tell you firmness, comfort, pressure relief or whether a particular mattress will suit your sleep position.

How to verify a claim

Look for named certification language and, when important, ask the seller for current certification documentation or scope details.

Signature Bliss example

PlushBeds currently describes the Signature Bliss pillowtop latex as GOLS-certified organic Dunlop latex.
