GOTS Standard
Verification of Avocado Green mattress GOTS organic certified wool fire barrier, law label URN, and chemical safety.
The Avocado Green mattress uses 100% GOTS-certified organic virgin wool as its sole flame retardant barrier. Physical law tag analysis confirms zero fiberglass, zero silica, zero modacrylic, and zero chemical flame retardants. Wool has a naturally high Limiting Oxygen Index (25.5%) and high moisture regain (16%), which allows it to naturally char and extinguish flames under CPSC 16 CFR Part 1633 without toxic fumes.
Uses 100% GOTS-certified organic wool sourced from family-owned herding collectives.
Naturally flame-resistant without chemicals, fiberglass, hydrated silica, or antimony.
Certified GREENGUARD Gold and MADE SAFE for absolute zero toxic chemical off-gassing.

Inspect the physical law label tag, decode the state Uniform Registry Number (URN), and review certified material percentages under CPSC 16 CFR Part 1633.
Under FTC 16 CFR Part 303 and IABFLO uniform law label standards, bedding manufacturers must disclose exact net filling weights using standardized generic fiber terms. Marketing buzzwords are prohibited under federal penalty.

Checklist
Step-by-step physical inspection procedure for flame barrier integrity and law label compliance.
Confirm law tag lists 100% Organic Wool batting in filling materials.
Watch for: Never expose wool layers to harsh chlorine bleach cleaners.
Look for the Control Union GOTS license number printed on the legal label.
Watch for: Do not confuse synthetic wool blends with certified organic virgin wool.
Inspect needle-tufted rosettes holding layers together without synthetic adhesives.
Watch for: Never cut internal button rosettes as this destabilizes internal tension.
