Avocado is one of the top organic mattress companies in the market and has been awarded many certifications thanks to its use of natural and eco-friendly materials. While conventional mattresses give off that new mattress smell for a while, the natural materials in an organic mattress prevent those smells. These mattresses are also hypoallergenic, meaning the materials are naturally moisture-wicking and resistant to allergen buildup. There are several different bed options with Avocado, including an entirely vegan mattress. Buyers can also find bedding and furniture, including bed frames.

What does the Avocado Green mattress feel like?

The main comfort material in an Avocado Green mattress is organic latex. It’s an interesting material because it’s soft and supple, but also very supportive and durable. It gives the mattress a comforting, pressure-relieving feeling, and you won’t sink down into the layers like memory foam

Instead, the Avocado Green is pretty bouncy. The pocketed coil layer found in the base of the mattress also gives it some bounce. If you choose to add the optional pillow top, it’ll be a little more cushy and plush. 

Avocado Green mattress construction

With any mattress, materials are an important factor to consider. The Avocado Green consists of natural materials, including certified organic Dunlop latex and GOTS organic wool and cotton. It also boasts an innovative innerspring mattress unit with five strategic support zones. Due to the design of the innerspring unit and the support zones, the Avocado Green need never be flipped. Instead, it is recommended that you rotate it.

The breathable, organic cotton cover is the first part you’ll notice upon unboxing, and the needle-tufted rosettes on top are a lovely touch. I would recommend watching your cat around them if you have a mischievous boy like mine — he managed to unravel one before I realized I needed to keep the mattress covered in his presence.
