Avocado Green Mattress Review

One of the only truly organic mattresses available on the market

A lot of companies slap “all-natural” or “green” on products to expand their market without actually putting in the work to meet the needs of their health and eco-conscious customer base. We see it everywhere, with food, cosmetics, clothing, etc.

The mattress industry does not escape this shameful marketing tactic. Which is why I’m excited to review Avocado Green Mattresses. You can rest assured that these mattresses are as organic as they say they are. Pun totally intended. 

Avocado offers both standard and pillowtop mattresses.

The top layer is a soft cotton cover with hand-tufted Joma wool rosettes. The tufting is a centuries-old practice that replaces toxic solvents and adhesives. 

Directly under the cover is two inches of 100% latex foam. If you opt for the pillowtop mattress, yours will have four inches of latex instead of two.

Greenguard Gold Certified, meaning they meet UL environment’s standards for low chemical exposure and pollutants, including VOCs, formaldehyde, and phthalate.

Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) means that their cotton and wool are both organic and ethically sourced.

Global Organic Latex Standard (GOLS) promises that the latex in Avocado mattresses contain more than 95% of certified organic raw material. They actually source their latex from a co-owned processing facility in India, which operates under the USDA National Organic Program. 

Climate Neutral. Avocado earned this certification by being “the world’s first mattress brand to achieve net-zero carbon emissions.”

OEKO-TEX certifies that the materials are free from allergenic dyes, pesticides, chlorinated phenols, heavy metals, formaldehyde, and chloro-organic carriers, with a non-harmful pH.

Vegan Certified and PETA Approved. Avocado offers vegan mattresses, which replaces the wool with extra cotton.

MADE SAFE certifies the mattresses are free of toxins, flame retardant materials, pesticides, carcinogens, harmful VOCs, and endocrine disruptors.  

Finally, Avocado is partnered with 1% for the Planet, the Organic Trade Association, Green America, the USGBC, the Sustainable Furnishings Council, Carbonfund, DoneGood, and We’re Still In.

I received the Queen pillowtop mattress and two pillows. After trying out the mattress for a month, I’m hooked.

I have a lot of neck and back problems from a car accident, and I noticed a huge reduction in my pain waking up. My husband, who’s a much sounder sleeper, prefers this mattress too.

We love the pillows, which are made of many small pieces of foam. They’re the perfect level of firmness.

Not too hard like many memory foam pillows, but not as soft and unsupportive as down. They’re the best of both worlds.

Overall, I’m incredibly happy with our new Avocado. I had been doing so much research to find a toxin-free mattress. It’s really hard to find something comfortable that isn’t full of petroleum-based foam or flame retardant materials. This mattress honestly blew my expectations away.
