You can read our full review here.

Overview

Have you ever been concerned about the materials used in creating a mattress? If you are, you’re probably on the lookout for a mattress that’s environment-friendly and contains sustainable materials. Today is your lucky day, introducing the Avocado Green Mattress from the company, Avocado. They pride themselves as an eco-friendly company that only creates their mattresses out of organic supplies.

As of today, they have two mattresses available. We’ve mentioned the first one above, and the second one is the Avocado Vegan Mattress. But we’ll be focusing on the Avocado Green Mattress. In our detailed review of the mattress, we will show you all there is to know about the mattress to decide if this is the best mattress for you.

Construction and Design

First off, let’s talk about the simple two-layer construction of the Avocado Mattress and its cover, and see the level of support and comfort this mattress provides. Another version of the Avocado Mattress offers a 2-inch pillow top, which we’ll discuss below.

The Cover

The non-removable cover is made of 100% organic cotton that is GOTS-certified along with hand-tufted certified organic wool. Additionally, the cover is free from any harmful chemicals, highly breathable, moisture-wicking, and delightfully soft on the skin.

The First Layer

This is the comfort layer made up of a 2-inch GOTS-certified organic wool. The wool provides a natural softness that pleasantly touches your body along with temperature-regulating and moisture-wicking properties. Overall, expect an evenly soft feeling.

As stated earlier, another variation of the mattress is the one with a 2-inch pillow top for added support and comfort. This version provides another 2-inch beneath the wool that’s made up of GOLS-certified Dunlop latex. The latex supplies more comfort, softness, and bounce that is sure to make your nights a lot more peaceful. Plus, it’s dust mite resistant, antimicrobial, and hypoallergenic, promoting a much healthier sleep.

The Second Layer

Now let’s move on to the support layer. This layer contains a tall, individually wrapped pocketed coil system. The wrapped coils add more bounce that provides support when lying down on the mattress.

Another unique quality of the design and construction is that these coils are put in 5 tactical zones within the mattress. The company says that it should help in providing support to the lower back, shoulders, and hips when necessary. Altogether, this should mean that some areas of the mattress are firmer than other areas.

This layer also comes equipped with a steel perimeter surrounding the pocketed coils to provide additional support.

Recommendations

Of course, there are those who can benefit from using the bed and those that will wake up with more pain and aching than when they slept. In the section below, we will help you find out if you can actually make use of the mattress or not.

Who can benefit from using the mattress?

People who have above average weights – Yes, if you weigh more, you can take full advantage of the mattress’ capabilities and materials. These people can feel the support system that the bed provides.
People who sleep hot – Because it’s not a memory foam mattress, you won’t be embraced by the top layer. That means heat can escape easier and with the excellent combination of latex and wool on the comfort layer, people can sleep a lot cooler.
People who shop with the environment in mind – The Avocado company assures you that all materials used in the construction of the mattress are made from highly sustainable and eco-friendly materials. Plus, they have all the certifications to prove that.
People who prefer a latex mattress – If you’re the type of person that loves sleeping on latex mattresses for their superior bounce and cooling qualities, then the Avocado Mattress is perfect for you.
People who prefer to sleep on their backs and/or stomachs with average to above average weights – Because the mattress provides a firm feel, it’s perfect for back and stomach sleepers as both sleeping positions rely heavily on support.

Who can’t benefit from using the mattress?

People who prefer more cradling sensation – The Avocado Mattress is a latex hybrid that provides an entirely different feel than memory foam mattresses. If you prefer a mattress that provides more comfort and pressure relief, we highly recommend a memory foam mattress.
People who weigh below average – Unfortunately, this mattress will do more harm than good for people who weigh lighter than 130lbs. If you weigh below 130lbs., the mattress might create unwanted pressure that can cause aches in the morning.
People who prefer sleeping on their sides – With the mattress being on the firm side rather than soft, it won’t do well for people who love sleeping on their sides. That is because it is vital that they choose a soft mattress to allow the spine to be naturally aligned and to relieve pressure from the shoulders and hips.

What’s The Overall Feel of The Mattress?

Because the Avocado Mattress has two variations, we will be scoring both so that you will be guided correctly when shopping for one. Anyway, on a firmness scale of 1 to 10, 1 being as soft as butter and 10, being as hard as the floor, the Avocado Mattress without the pillow top scores at a firm 7 while the other variation with the pillow top, scores a standard 6.5.

What do those numbers mean? Those numbers mean that the mattress provides a firmer feel compared to other mattresses. That tells you that it provides more support than comfort. However, the latex property provides a fantastic bounce that makes moving around the surface a lot easier compared to a memory foam mattress.

Nevertheless, expect more firm support when sleeping on the Avocado Mattress. It does, however, provide a certain comfort from the latex and wool found on the top layer.

How Does The Avocado Mattress Perform?

Now that you know what its design, construction, and feel is, it’s time for us to let you know how the mattress fairs regarding different factors.

Pressure Relief

The Avocado Mattress provides a great balance between support and comfort, although, not as much as one when compared with foam mattresses. With the design of the mattress’ innersprings that target different areas, it becomes a lot firmer when placed with more weight. However, for those who prefer a firmer feel mattress, then this is a fantastic choice.

Overall, Avocado is most likely ideal for people who weigh slightly above average, since those who are lighter than average might experience little to no pressure relief and aches upon waking up.

Durability

In general, both latex and innerspring mattresses can last longer compared to memory foam. So, you can expect that the Avocado Mattress can serve you in the years to come. Plus, wool does last longer than cotton, so expect that the top layer can fully provide needed comfort long after you buy it.

Probably this is one of the vital factors to consider when choosing a mattress. Durability plays a big part in how good of an investment a certain product is. Although you won’t need to worry about the durability of the Avocado Mattress. With its solid construction and high-quality materials, it will last for a long time.

Plus, Avocado provides a 25-year limited warranty that customers can use when they find any defects due to its construction.

Sound Check

Even though it is an innerspring mattress, Avocado does not make much noise when moving around or getting up and on the bed. However, it does make a faint squeak when getting up from the mattress but it’s not enough to actually bother someone.

If opting for the version with the pillow top, customers won’t need to worry about the latex material, since latex produces minimal sounds once there is movement. However, having said that, if you or your partner are light sleepers, we would highly recommend getting an all latex or all foam mattress so that you won’t be disturbed by the noise.

Movement Transfer

Knowing that the mattress is an innerspring mattress, it does a mediocre job of isolating any movement. Although it performs better than most pocketed coil mattresses. If you are sharing the bed with someone, they will definitely feel, though minimal, movement when you move around or get off the bed.

Overall, if you and your partner, child, or pet are not necessarily light sleepers, then there is nothing to worry about when sleeping on the mattress. Otherwise, we would still recommend buying a memory foam mattress. An all memory foam mattress is still the go-to buy when you want superb motion isolation.

Edge to Edge Support

With the steel perimeter adding support, you won’t encounter any trouble when sleeping close to the edge or sitting on it. You can sleep confidently when sleeping on the edge. Any feeling of falling off the bed is totally eliminated by Avocado. Overall, this bed can provide equal support all throughout the surface, which couples can benefit a lot from.

Temperature Adjustment

Due to the fact that you won’t “sink” into the mattress, that means the mattress does a superb job of regulating body temperature, so you won’t be sleeping hot. Additionally, with the combination of wool and latex, it provides a cool surface to sleep on. The cover also provides excellent breathability and wicks away moisture for superior sleep.
