Non-Toxic Waterproof Mattress Protectors
Avocado
Avocado makes a GOTS certified organic cotton waterproof mattress protector made of two layers of cotton sandwiched around an ultra-thin layer of thermoplastic polyurethane. FYI, this type of film (TPU) is not nearly as toxic as a polyurethane (PU) and it’s important when it comes to waterproofing to prevent mold, bacteria, and pest growth. Great on its own or convenient if you’re buying one of their mattresses or toppers at the same time.
Another GOTS certified organic waterproof mattress protector with TPU, and consistently the most affordable one year round without sales. Can also get in a bundle with their bedding bundle deal which includes an organic waterproof mattress protector, as well as 2 pillows and a set of sheets.

How to Choose a Non Toxic Mattress Protector
Do you need a mattress protector?
Yes! It protects your mattress— usually quite an investment— from breaking down quickly, as well as sweat, and germs. Mattresses off-gas chemicals more excessively when in contact with body heat, so a protector can also potentially reduce this.
Do you need a waterproof mattress cover?
If you have young kids, are a heavy sweater, or there are any other possibilities of liquids seeping through your sheets and into your mattress, I recommend a waterproof option to prevent mold, bacteria, and dust mites, all of which thrive in damp, humid places.
Are there natural waterproof mattress protectors?
Yes! The world of non toxic waterproof fabric can be tricky— traditional options, often made with PVC, are notoriously toxic, and many non-PVC options are made with fabric processing chemicals that can off-gas. Here’s what I recommend:
Choose an organic, washable wool one if you are prioritizing material health above all else. Wool is also very thermoregulating for hot sleepers. See how wool works here.
Choose GOTS certified organic fabric with a super-thin layer of polyurethane film (TPU) in between the layers if you’re sensitive to wool.
Choose an OEKO TEX certified polymer fabric option (like polyester or microfiber) if you’re prioritizing affordability.
