Food, fashion, beauty—these are often the first things we think of when it comes to products that may or may not be vegan. But did you know the bed you sleep on every night might not be vegan either? It turns out mattresses can contain animal-derived materials, too.
Wool and down feathers are the two most common animal-derived materials found in mattresses. Vegan mattresses, however, are made from materials like natural latex, organic cotton, and synthetics such as polyester.
If you’re looking to refresh your space and invest in a new place to rest your head, there are plenty of vegan mattress options available. Find a few of VegNews’ favorites below, from the best cooling picks and options for side sleepers to some of the most luxurious models on the market.
