Avocado Green Mattress Review with Avocado Luxury Organic Comparison
Avocado started in twenty fifteen as a response to a simple problem. There were almost no mattresses that were truly organic, traceable, and still reachable for regular shoppers. This review walks through how the flagship Avocado Green Mattress performs, how the optional pillow top and the Luxury Organic model change the feel, and who is going to be happiest on each.
It is a needle tufted, coil and latex hybrid made with GOLS certified latex, GOTS certified wool and cotton, and recycled steel coils. You can also order it as a fully vegan build that swaps wool for extra cotton. If you care about ingredients and still want strong support, this line belongs on your short list.
Short version. Avocado Green is a medium firm, very durable latex hybrid that runs cooler, more supportive, and bouncier than most foam in a box beds, while the Luxury Organic version adds more cushion for side sleepers.
Bottom line
Pick the Avocado Green Mattress if you want a firmer, bouncy, natural mattress that can handle heavier bodies, hot sleepers, and couples who use the full surface. Step up to the Avocado Luxury Organic Mattress if you want the same clean ingredients with a more plush, hotel style feel that better cradles shoulders and hips.

Design and build
Short version of the Avocado story
Avocado launched in Hoboken in twenty fifteen when four friends could not find an organic mattress that felt premium without a luxury markup. Instead of settling for foam and mystery fire barriers, they built their own line around certified organic latex, wool, and cotton, tufted by hand with no glue, backed by a direct to consumer model that kept prices in check. In twenty eighteen Avocado joined forces with Brentwood Home and now sits under Avocado Green Brands, which covers mattresses, pillows, bedding, and furniture.
Avocado Green Mattress construction
The Avocado Green Mattress is a latex and coil hybrid. The cover is organic cotton with hand tufted rosettes that pull through a thick layer of GOTS organic wool. Those tufts hold the whole stack together so they do not need chemical adhesives between layers and the surface has a cushioned, classic top look.
Under the cover you get comfort layers of GOLS organic Dunlop latex. In the standard profile there is a softer comfort layer above a firmer latex layer that rests over the coil unit. Add the optional pillow top and you get an extra latex layer on top, which brings the feel down from medium firm into a more balanced medium that is friendlier to side sleepers.
The support core is a Quantum Edge Elite Combi Zone unit from Leggett and Platt. Coils are arranged into five zones so the middle third under your hips is firmer while the shoulder and leg zones are more forgiving. The perimeter uses taller coils for stronger edge support, which is why you can sit or sleep near the edge without feeling roll off. At the bottom there is another layer of organic latex to finish out the profile.
Vegan option and materials
If you want to avoid wool, the Avocado Vegan Mattress swaps the wool layers for thick batting of GOTS certified organic cotton. The rest of the build stays the same. No polyurethane foam, no sprayed fire retardants, and no animal products. Their vegan line is certified by Vegan Action and also carries PETA approval.
Avocado furniture and bed bases
Avocado Green Brands also builds bed frames and furniture from reclaimed or responsibly sourced wood finished with low emission sealants. If you want to keep the same materials story from the mattress all the way down to the frame, their platform and reclaimed wood frames are worth a look.
Certifications
The latex is one hundred percent GOLS certified, grown on plantations they manage in India with their own organic latex facility. The cotton and wool are GOTS certified, and the entire mattress is certified as a finished product rather than just the raw materials.
You also get Made Safe, Greenguard Gold, and Formaldehyde Free certifications, eco Institut testing, Oeko Tex Standard one hundred on the fabrics, Climate Neutral certification for net zero emissions, and membership in groups such as one percent for the Planet, Organic Trade Association, Green America, and Sustainable Furnishings Council. The spring unit uses recycled steel, so even the metal has a materials story.
Comfort and feel
The Avocado Green Mattress in the standard build lands around a seven on a ten point firmness scale. That means medium firm, with more pushback than a memory foam bed but still some cushion on top. The pillow top build pulls it closer to a six, which is a more balanced medium that works better for side sleepers and combination sleepers.
You feel like you are sleeping on the mattress rather than sinking inside it. Latex is springy, so there is an immediate response when you change positions. The tufting keeps the surface cushioned instead of flat. You still get that buoyant latex lift, just with a more refined top surface than the usual block of foam.
Heavier sleepers can choose either version. The latex layers and coil unit are rated up to about three hundred fifty pounds per person and seven hundred pounds total for a couple. The zoned coils stop the middle of the mattress from bowing under heavier hips. Lighter side sleepers will usually want the pillow top or the Luxury Organic to avoid shoulder pressure.
Cooling
Avocado runs cooler than the average mattress. Latex does not trap body heat the way slow memory foam can, wool pulls moisture away from your skin and helps buffer temperature swings, and the coil unit under the latex creates airflow through the core. If you are a hot sleeper, this is one of the safer picks in the natural category, especially when you compare it with solid foam builds.
Motion isolation
You will feel some movement when a partner gets in or out of bed because latex is naturally bouncy. That said, the combination of tufted top, multiple latex layers, and individually wrapped coils does a solid job of keeping motion from traveling all the way across the surface. It is not as neutral and silent as slow memory foam, but it is much more controlled than an old style open coil mattress.
Here is a short bounce and feel clip so you can see how quickly the surface recovers.
Edge support
Edge support is one of the strongest parts of the Avocado Green design. The Quantum Edge perimeter means you can sit to tie your shoes or sleep near the edge without feeling a slide off sensation. This matters for couples sharing a smaller size, for heavier bodies, and for anyone who wants to use the full width of the mattress.
Stitched handles on the sides make it easier to rotate the mattress or move it during setup. Most latex hybrids skip this detail, and you miss it as soon as you try to adjust a heavy queen or king without any grip points.
Who this mattress is for
Avocado Green Mattress is better if you
- Want a firmer, supportive feel with bounce rather than a slow memory foam hug
- Care about organic and third party certified materials from top to bottom
- Sleep hot and prefer wool, latex, and coils instead of solid foam
- Need strong edge support and high weight capacity for heavier bodies
- Plan to use an adjustable base and want a mattress that can flex without failing
Avocado Luxury Organic is better if you
- Are a side sleeper or combo sleeper who wants extra cushion at shoulders and hips
- Prefer a more plush, hotel style feel while still keeping natural materials
- Are willing to pay more for thicker comfort layers and extra pressure relief
- Want the softest Avocado option that still supports the spine and does not feel saggy
Price and value
Avocado is not the cheapest mattress in a box. You are paying for organic certifications, United States manufacturing, and a durable coil and latex build. The upside is that you get a mattress that should easily outlast most all foam beds and a full year to test it at home backed by a twenty five year warranty.

Financing
Avocado partners with Affirm so you can split the purchase into monthly payments. Rates can start at zero percent for well qualified shoppers with terms from six up to thirty six months. Always look at the total cost of financing and compare it with any low interest credit options you already have so the mattress does not end up costing much more than the sticker price.
Sales and discounts
You will usually see the strongest Avocado sales around major holidays such as Memorial Day week and the November promotion season. Ten percent off or more is common. They do not use random coupon sites. The best offers show up directly on the Avocado site or through trusted partners.

How I test mattresses
All of these notes and scores come from real use. I work with these beds both in the showroom and at home, which means I see how they behave under different bodies and real life conditions instead of only relying on spec sheets and marketing terms.
- Unboxing and first impression, including any natural wool and latex smell and how long the mattress takes to open up fully.
- Firmness and feel passes in back, side, and stomach positions, with and without the pillow top when that option is available.
- Spine alignment checks for different body types to see where hips and shoulders land relative to the midline.
- Pressure mapping by feel, looking for hot spots at shoulders, hips, and lower back over longer sessions.
- Motion and edge tests, including sitting and lying right at the edge and having another person move and roll beside you.
- Cooling checks with and without covers to see how much heat builds up over the night.
- Longer term notes on sagging, body impressions, and how the mattress feels after the break in period.
FAQ
Here is a quick clip of the Avocado Green on an adjustable base so you can see how it bends and returns.
Does the Avocado Mattress sag over time
Any mattress will show wear eventually, but the coil and latex build on the Avocado is more durable than basic foam. The best way to keep it in shape is to rotate it head to foot a few times a year, use a supportive foundation that meets their guidelines, and keep the total weight within the stated limit. Most people can expect a longer usable life here than with typical all foam beds, which is part of what you are paying for.
Why does a new Avocado Mattress have a smell at first
New latex and wool will have a mild natural scent when you take the mattress out of the wrap. The key difference is that it does not contain the heavy chemical off gassing you get from some petroleum based foams. Open the windows, pull bedding back, and let the mattress breathe in a ventilated room for a day or two. Most of the scent clears quickly. If you are very sensitive, you can use a breathable organic protector during the first week.
Does the Avocado Green Mattress work on an adjustable base
Yes. I have used the Avocado Green on an adjustable base for months without issues. The latex and coil system can flex with the base while still keeping the core aligned. Just make sure the base supports the mattress according to Avocado guidelines so you do not void the warranty.
Is the Avocado Green Mattress good for plus size sleepers
The stated weight limit is about three hundred fifty pounds per person or seven hundred pounds total. Between the thick latex layers and the zoned coil unit, it handles heavier bodies better than most foam beds. Heavier back and stomach sleepers usually do well on the standard firmness. Heavier side sleepers tend to prefer the pillow top or the Luxury Organic for more pressure relief at shoulders and hips.
Is Avocado or Awara more organic
Both are natural latex hybrids, but Avocado stacks up more third party certifications. Avocado uses GOLS certified organic latex with GOTS certified organic cotton and wool and carries Greenguard Gold and Made Safe on the finished mattress. Awara uses natural latex with Rainforest Alliance certification and GOTS on the fabrics plus CertiPUR US where foam is used. Both are solid choices, but if you want the deepest certification story, Avocado has the edge.
