My Green Mattress Natural Escape Review
Overview and narrative
When I started testing eco focused beds years ago, many options were either very expensive or not very comfortable. Natural Escape from My Green Mattress pushes past that. It delivers real organic materials and a supportive, lively feel at a price that does not try to be a luxury trophy.
The mattress I tested arrived a week after ordering. The first thing I noticed after cutting the plastic was the lack of chemical odor. There was a light, clean scent from the wool and cotton. My son called it a cereal smell. That tracks with the build. No polyurethane foam and no added flame retardants. The wool in the cover is the fire barrier.
My Green Mattress is a small team in La Grange Highlands, Illinois. The owner, Tim Masters, is a craft focused builder. I visited their factory once without warning and he was happy to walk me through coil winding and tufting. It is a shop that cares about process. That shows up in the finished feel.
Ordering and unboxing
You order direct from My Green Mattress with free shipping in the United States. Mine arrived in about a week, roll packed in a box. Set up took a few minutes and the mattress expanded quickly. A note for the latex purists. This is Dunlop latex, not Talalay. Dunlop gives a bit more push back which fits the hybrid design.
Construction
- Cover: Organic cotton quilted with organic wool for breathability and moisture control. The wool is the fire barrier so there are no added flame retardant chemicals.
- Comfort layer: Three inches of organic Dunlop latex with ventilation for airflow. This layer gives contour without a slow melting feel.
- Support core: Eight inches of pocketed coils made from recycled steel. The middle third is firmer for spinal alignment and the perimeter uses stronger coils for edge sitting.
- Base: Organic cotton batting that stabilizes the coil unit.
- Total height: About eleven inches.
The pocket coils and latex keep partner movement muted compared with open coils.
Latex does not trap heat like many memory foams and the coil cavity helps air move.
Feel and performance
This mattress feels like a well built innerspring with a clean, buoyant top. The latex gives quick response and the coil unit adds lift so you do not feel stuck. Side sleepers will notice pressure relief at the shoulder without collapsing the hips. Back and stomach sleepers should appreciate the firmer center zone that resists bowing.
Edge performance is better than average for a boxed hybrid. I could sit to tie shoes without sliding. Motion transfer is low, not zero. If you need the dead quiet of memory foam you will not get it here, but you also will not get the slow sink that makes changing positions a chore.
Who it is for
- You want certified organic materials and a straightforward build
- You like a responsive surface with some bounce
- You sleep in multiple positions and want stable support
Who should pass
- You want a very plush, slow moving feel
- You prefer extra tall profiles beyond twelve inches
What stands out and tradeoffs
- Certified organic cotton, wool, and latex
- Zoned support and reinforced edges
- One year in home trial is rare at this material set
- Clean scent and no foam off gassing
- Medium firm feel will not satisfy plush seekers
- Latex is lively which some people do not love
My Green Mattress vs Avocado
These two brands live in the same space. Both use organic cotton, organic wool, and organic Dunlop latex over pocketed coils. The main differences are options and typical price. Avocado offers a standard model and a pillow top model that adds extra latex for more cushion. Natural Escape targets a single balanced feel and usually lands at a lower price than Avocado, especially the pillow top. Below is a quick comparison. Prices are typical list prices at the time of writing and can change with promotions. Always check current offers.
| Model | Comfort | Support core | Firmness options | Trial | Warranty | Typical queen price |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| My Green Mattress Natural Escape | Three inch organic Dunlop latex | Zoned pocketed coils with reinforced edge | Single medium firm feel | 365 nights | 20 years | Often lower than Avocado Green standard |
| Avocado Green standard | About two inch organic Dunlop latex | Zoned pocketed coils | Single firm feel | 365 nights | 25 years | Higher than Natural Escape |
| Avocado Green pillow top | Extra organic latex comfort for a deeper cushion | Zoned pocketed coils | Plusher feel than standard | 365 nights | 25 years | Highest of the three |
Price, trial, warranty
- Natural Escape trial and warranty: 365 night trial and a 20 year warranty
- Avocado Green trial and warranty: 365 night trial and a 25 year warranty
- Price note: Natural Escape typically lists for less than Avocado Green standard and far less than the pillow top. Discounts change often. Use the links below to see current pricing.
Bottom line
Natural Escape feels like a classic innerspring done with better ingredients. If you want organic materials, steady support, and a responsive surface at a fair price, it earns a spot on your shortlist. The one year trial makes the decision easier.
