Happsy Mattress Review
- 09/10/2024
Ben Trapskin
While Happsy isn’t an ancient company, its journey to becoming a recognized organic mattress brand has been interesting and relatively quick. Here’s a timeline of its history:
2015: The seed is planted. Happsy founders, a group of health and wellness enthusiasts, become frustrated by the lack of truly organic and affordable mattress options. They envision a company that prioritizes both sleep health and environmental sustainability.
2016: The first Happsy mattress is born. Utilizing organic materials like GOTS-certified cotton, latex, and wool, the company launches its flagship mattress, initially targeting the online market.
2017-2018: Building brand and awareness. Happsy focuses on online marketing and customer engagement, building a strong community around the idea of “healthy sleep, happy life.” They garner positive reviews and testimonials, establishing themselves as a reliable organic mattress choice.
2019-2020: Expansion and innovation. Happsy expands its product line, introducing pillows, sheets, and bedding accessories made from the same organic materials. They also partner with environmental organizations and advocate for sustainable practices in the mattress industry.
2021-Present: Continued growth and focus on customer experience. Happsy continues to gain popularity, attracting customers seeking natural sleep solutions. They refine their customer service and offer a 120-night trial period and 10-year warranty on their products.
Key milestones:
- 2017: Featured in Oprah Magazine’s “O List” of favorite things.
- 2018: Named a “Best Mattress for Side Sleepers” by Sleep Advisor.
- 2019: Achieved B Corporation certification, recognizing their commitment to social and environmental responsibility.
- 2020: Partnered with 1% for the Planet, donating a portion of their sales to environmental causes.
Overall, Happsy’s history is one of rapid growth and dedication to its core values of organic materials, healthy sleep, and sustainability. They continue to innovate and expand their offerings, aiming to make the world a happier place, one mattress at a time.
The Happsy Mattress is a mattress that uses primarily organic materials such at GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) Cotton and GOLS (Global Organic Latex Standard) latex in addition to a spring system. A queen size Happsy retails for $1,399 which puts it at a very competitive price point for an all-natural mattress. What really sets this apart from the competition is just how many certifications and accolades this mattress has.
Overview of the Happsy Mattress
The Happsy mattress can be ordered direct from their website and will arrive about a week after placing your order. Unlike most online mattress companies, the Happsy will come in multiple boxes That’s because the latex layer cannot be compressed like foam and so will come in a separate box. Below is a photo of what I received for my Happsy mattress plus topper. The mattress will ship to your door though so there’s no need to schedule a delivery.
The Happsy comes with a 120 night trial where if you don’t like it, you can return it for a full refund. This is still rare with natural mattresses. There aren’t many brands that offer a trial period. Additionally, this mattress comes with a 10 year warranty.
Below is a video overview of the Happsy. I’m sitting on it with the optional latex topper.
Construction of the Happsy Mattress
The Happsy Mattress is made with the following materials:
Organic cotton fabric cover
Organic wool batting
2″ organic latex
8″ pocketed springs
organic cotton batting

Happsy Accessories

My Happsy Mattress Findings
The Happsy comes with or without a topper. If you go with the topper option just note that it fits on top of the mattress and is not integrated. This shouldn’t be an issue though when you put sheets over everything.
Below is a photo of how much sinkage you can expect with the mattress topper option. I like a more plush feel and if you do too, then I strongly recommend getting the topper.
Below you can see how much sinkage you get without the topper. There is a very pronounced difference here.
The Happsy is a bouncy mattress because it is springs and latex. Here’s video showing motion transfer on the mattress.
Is the Happsy Mattress right for you?
People seeking out a firm natural mattress will want to go with the Happsy. If you want a plush feel, I strongly recommend adding the latex topper. Latex has a unique feel and is instantly responsive, unlike memory foam which lags. Latex is a more resilient material in that it will last longer than foam so it is a worthwhile investment assuming you like the feel.
The field of online organic / natural mattresses is still limited so it’s welcoming to see the Happsy come in at such a competitive price point.
For reference, a queen Avocado Mattress retails for $1,399 and $1,799 for the pillow top option whereas a queen Happsy is $1,199 and $1,598 for the pillow top.

Happsy vs. Avocado
Both Happsy and Avocado are online mattress companies that offer organic and eco-friendly mattresses. They are both highly rated and have similar features, but there are also some key differences to consider when choosing between them.
Similarities:
- Both mattresses are made with organic latex and coils.
- Both are certified organic by GOTS and OEKO-TEX.
- Both offer a 100-night trial period and a warranty.
- Both have free shipping and returns.
Differences:
- Price: Happsy mattresses are slightly less expensive than Avocado mattresses.
- Firmness: Happsy mattresses are a bit softer than Avocado mattresses.
- Topper: Avocado mattresses come with a plush organic wool topper, while Happsy mattresses do not.
- Trial period: Avocado offers a 365-night trial period, while Happsy offers a 120-night trial period.
- Warranty: Avocado offers a 25-year warranty, while Happsy offers a 10-year warranty.
Here is a more detailed comparison of the two brands:
| Feature | Happsy | Avocado |
|---|---|---|
| Price | $$ | $$$ |
| Firmness | Medium-soft | Medium-firm |
| Topper | No | Yes |
| Trial period | 120 nights | 365 nights |
| Warranty | 10 years | 25 years |
Which mattress is right for you?
If you are looking for a more affordable mattress, Happsy is a good option. If you are looking for a more luxurious mattress with a longer trial period and warranty, Avocado is a good option. If you are a side sleeper, you may prefer the softer Happsy mattress. If you are a back or stomach sleeper, you may prefer the firmer Avocado mattress.
here’s a comparison of the prices of Happsy, Avocado, and Birch mattresses:
Happsy:
- Queen size: $1,399
- King size: $1,599
- California King size: $1,599
Avocado:
- Queen size: $1,799 (Green Mattress) or $1,399 (Eco Organic Mattress)
- King size: $1,999 (Green Mattress) or $1,599 (Eco Organic Mattress)
- California King size: $1,999 (Green Mattress) or $1,599 (Eco Organic Mattress)
- Queen size: $1,995 (Luxe) or $1,495 (Natural)
- King size: $2,195 (Luxe) or $1,595 (Natural)
- California King size: $2,195 (Luxe) or $1,595 (Natural)
As you can see, Happsy is the most affordable option, followed by Avocado’s Eco Organic Mattress and then Birch. Avocado’s Green Mattress and Birch’s Luxe Mattress are the most expensive.
Here are some additional things to keep in mind when comparing prices:
- These are just the base prices for the queen-size mattresses. The price of a mattress can vary depending on the size, firmness, and any additional features you choose.
- Happsy and Avocado offer financing options, which can make the cost of the mattress more manageable.
- All three companies offer free shipping and returns.

Thank you for your very informative website. I am hesitating between the Happsy and the Avocado as I need a firmer mattress because of lower back pain but my husband (side sleeper) is concerned about comfort. How does the Happsy compare to the Avocado comfort and support-wise?
They are about the same. I would say the Avocado is slightly better for support but they are both great.
Hello, did you notice any smell from the happsy? Thanks!
There is a latex smell but it’s not that bad. It goes away after it’s been opened for a few days.
How would you compare the Happsy to the Naturepedic Essentials? From what I can find, they are both produced at the same facility and seem very similar, other than the Naturepedic can be customized?
They are very similar. I think it really comes down to price.
We just received our Avocado Green with pillowtop last week, but I am finding it still too firm for side sleeping, especially in my hips and shoulders. Would you recommend Happsy, My Green Mattress Natural Escape, or another? thanks!
or Brentwood Cedar?
I would actually go with the Brewntwood Home Cedar
Thank you, your website is really helpful!
Sorry, I just saw your answer above about the Brentwood Cedar. Would you say it is quite a bit softer feel than the Avocado? I’m trying to find a medium-soft feel as I am a light side sleeper, but with all natural materials. Wondering if that exists? Hoping to stay away from memory foam if I can. Thanks for your thoughts!
I would take a look at the Nest Q3 with the pillow top that should be what you are looking for: https://yawnder.com/q3-natural-latex-mattress-nest-bedding/
Hello! SO appreciate your site and your balanced reviews and expertise! We are REALLY stuck between the Avocado and the Happsy. The folks at Brentwood actually steered us away from Cedar, saying it might be too soft. We are a 6’2″ 240 pound back/side sleeper who likes firm, and a 5’2″ side sleeper who sleeps side. Spouse likes firm. I like pillow top, but have been fine on a firm coil mattress without the pillow top for a long time. Motion/movement is an issue, as one of us is a roller. We want a green/non-toxic mattress. Our old bed is dead, and we are hurting. One of these can ship to us a LOT faster (as in three weeks faster) and that is a pull, as our old bed is killing us. Advice?
I would go with the Happsy without the pillow top option as it will have less motion transfer than the Avocado. If you find it is too firm you can always add the pillow top layer.
Does anyone know if the Happsy will work well for a plus sized person? Will it hold up?
We are torn between Happsy with pillow top and Brentwood Cedar – which is plusher? So appreciate your advice!
The new Cedar Luxe is now considerably softer than the Happsy.
Is there any bounce to the Happsy? I prefer less bounce and have been looking at Keetsa Tea Leaf Supreme and Nolah and other all foam mattresses. But would prefer more natural materials and being made in the USA. I got an Eco Terra but it’s too soft and is sagging in the middle. Thanks so much!
There is since it has a spring system and latex on top.
Also have you ever reviewed any all wool mattresses? I just got back France and really enjoyed sleeping on some. Thanks for all your insights!
I haven’t reviewed an all-wool mattress yet.
Looking for a Twin mattress for my 2 year old. Debating between Natutepedic, Avocado and Happsy. Can you offer any input?
I’m told firmer is best for a toddler.
Of these, the Happsy is the best value for the money and has the most certifications. I would go with the Happsy.
