Avocado

Green and Vegan Mattresses:

Avocado’s green and vegan mattresses have similar designs, with the exception being that the vegan mattress does not contain wool. Here is what you can expect in your green or vegan mattress:

Top Layer: GOTS-certified organic cotton ticking which covers the entire the mattress. In the green mattress, you’ll find this followed by a layer of GOTS-certified organic wool. In the vegan version, the wool is replaced with more organic cotton instead.

Dunlop Latex Layer: The Dunlop latex layer is consists of 2 inches of GOLS-organic certified latex that adapts to your body and provides comfortable support. It also has cooling properties.

Coil Layer: This layer is comprised of up to 1414 individually-tuned support coils, which help achieve pressure relief. The coils themselves are made from recycled steel and are grouped in three areas of the mattress including the perimeters, distributing your weight evenly. They are individually wrapped, which helps to decrease motion transfer. Furthermore, they provide substantial edge support thanks to doubly-reinforced perimeters.

Base Layer: The base layer is made up of 1-inch of GOLS-certified organic Dunlop latex.

Optional Plush Pillow Top: The plush pillow top layer adds 2 more inches to your mattress. It’s made of a traditional European pillow top that’s been filled with latex rubber foam.

Latex Mattress:

Avocado’s latex mattress, unlike the green and hybrid versions, is not a hybrid mattress. Therefore, it does not include a layer of coils.

Top Layer: A panel of GOTS-certified organic cotton and wool is followed by 2 inches of GOLS-certified organic Dunlop latex that contours to your body. Lasers are used to cut out triangular peaks in a zig-zag pattern, on the bottom of the top latex layer facing the support layer. The result is three zones that reduce pressure on areas such as your shoulders and hips.

Support Layer: 3 inches of GOLS-certified organic Dunlop latex with a layer of GOTS-certified organic cotton. This addition of cotton keeps the mattress from being overly bouncy.

Base Layer: Finally, the base layer is made up of another 4 inches of certified organic Dunlop latex that is durable and resilient.

Avocado mattresses feature natural and organic materials, such as:

• GOLS-certified Dunlop latex rubber is the best of its kind and features high durability and resilience
• Joma New Zealand wool acts as a fire barrier while keeping moisture, microbes and dust mites away, and further supports temperature control.
• 100% GOTS-certified organic cotton gives the mattress a soft, premium feel and is highly breathable.

The cover is made of tufted organic cotton with a layer of Joma New Zealand wool underneath. The high-quality cotton provides softness and breathability while the additional layer of wool helps protect the mattress against dust mites and moisture and allows for greater temperature control.

The cover isn’t removable. Generally, organic materials shouldn’t be washed with a washing machine since that will make them lose durability and protection features. On the bright side, there are a few ways of cleaning the cover without using any harsh chemicals right inside your room. The brand features an article on its website that explains everything in detail.

Avocado has three mattress toppers for you to choose from. All are made from the finest natural materials and are available for all mattresses, regardless of size and manufacturer. The lowest-cost option is the Green Organic Latex Topper, which uses a blend of certified organic wool, cotton, and latex in combination with reinforced seams for optimal support.

The most expensive option is made from fine alpaca wool and cotton—a  soft, plush, and ultra-luxury experience. In the middle, you’ll find the Avocado Vegan Mattress Topper, which is similar to the Green Organic Topper but uses cotton instead of wool.

These handmade toppers come with a 10-year warranty and financing options are available. Prices range from $349 to $799 depending on the size and which type you choose.

The Avocado Green Pillow is the cheaper option available through this brand, although only just. It is filled with organic latex and kapok and can be customized to suit different sleep styles. The Avocado Green Pillow features a machine washable cotton liner and a luxury finish. It is 100% vegan, available in three sizes, and is handmade in the United States.

Avocado also offers the Molded Latex Pillow, which is better suited to sleepers who prefer a firmer and more supportive pillow. It holds its shape throughout the night, stays cool and dry, and has a removable, washable, organic cotton cover. These easy-to-clean, supportive, cooling pillows offer affordable luxury and make for a great addition to an Avocado mattress. They are also covered by a 100 Night Sleep Trial and a warranty that lasts for a full year.

All the operations are done online including choosing the type, size, and any additional items for the mattress. Customers can sign up for a free 100-nights trial before deciding to commit to the purchase. Both shipping and returns are free of charge. However, in-house installation as well as taking away your old mattress comes at the price of $199. Also, the mattresses are fairly heavy, which may be an issue while installing it, even with the help of your spouse.
