Avocado Green Mattress Review for 2023

For a healthy morning routine, what’s greener than avocado toast? Maybe avocado beds? Imagine waking up on a mattress that not only feels luxurious but is also made from organic and natural materials – that’s Avocado, and that’s a win-win.

This eco-friendly brand is all about offering an environmentally conscious sleeping experience at an affordable price. The Avocado Green Mattress is a hybrid that blends a traditional innerspring feel with the elevated comfort features of foam. Each layer was engineered with durability and sustainability in mind and can even be made vegan.

This bed arrives in a box, and it may take a few hours to take shape. When you first lie down, you may notice that this mattress is very responsive. The latex and coils provide a lot of bounce, which is great for repositioning. You should also feel the zoned coils contouring to your body’s curves, which is important for relieving excess pressure in areas like the shoulders and hips.

Avocado doesn’t list strict weight guidelines for its mattresses. Their website states that they use premium materials and components that can handle a lot of weight. With that being said, they do recommend that you should not have more than 700 pounds on the mattress.

Side Sleepers

• Lightweight Sleepers – This mattress falls within a medium firmness level. Lightweight side sleepers may feel too much pressure on their shoulders, hips and knees.
• Average Weight Sleepers – Average weight side sleepers will most likely find that an Avocado mattress will provide satisfactory comfort. However, there are other mattresses that may suit them better.
• Heavyweight Sleepers – If you are a heavier side sleeper, you will probably not be disappointed if you choose an Avocado mattress. With that being said, given the price, you may want to look at other options.

Back Sleepers

• Lightweight Sleepers – Lighter people who prefer to sleep on their back will find that the Avocado mattress provides them with ample lumbar support and comfort.
• Average Weight Sleepers – The tailored support of the innersprings does an excellent job of making a bed that average weight back sleepers will enjoy.
• Heavyweight Sleepers – The zone coiled provides reinforced strength that will provide heavier back sleepers extra strength where they may be carrying the most weight.

Stomach Sleepers

• Lightweight Sleepers – If you are a lighter stomach sleeper, this mattress may be too firm, but adding one of Avocado’s toppers may make this into a better selection for you.
• Average Weight Sleepers – The strong steel coils makes the Avocado a great choice for average-weight stomach sleepers.
• Heavyweight Sleepers – Avocado designed their mattresses with reinforced areas that correspond with heavier parts of the body, and this makes this mattress a great choice for heavier stomach sleepers.

When you’re in any one position for a good length of time, pressure points can develop in areas where there is very little skin or fat for cushioning. This can inhibit your sleep and result in morning aches and pains.

While Avocado’s use of latex foam offers good contouring, you likely won’t experience the same deep hug you feel with layers of traditional memory foam – even with the enhanced pillow-top version.

Back Pain – With excellent edge-to-edge and lumbar support, the Avocado does a good job of keeping your weight balanced and your body aligned. This should help prevent or alleviate back pain.
Hip Pain – The Avocado mattress provides a firm base of support for your hips. This will help to keep your spine aligned when sleeping, which in turn should help with any hip issues that you may be experiencing.
Shoulder Pain – Side sleepers may find that the pressure points of this mattress make it uncomfortable for their shoulders. Avocado does offer mattress toppers that may help soothe some shoulder pain.

Avocado has a very strong support system thanks to the hybrid design featuring firm Dunlop latex on the top and bottom layers and over 1,400 individually wrapped steel coils in the middle. These coils consist of three different gauges arranged in five ergonomic zones. This means you should feel the right balance of pressure relief and support where you need it most.

The zones at the head and foot of the bed should feel softer than in the middle. This provides a firmer base of support for your hips which helps with spinal alignment. With edge-to-edge support, this bed should keep your weight evenly balanced.

The Avocado with pillow-top performs decently well with motion transfer. This is owed to the thick layers of latex and individually pocketed coil system. Unlike some traditional innerspring brands where coils are interconnected, pocketed coils compress individually, ensuring that motion transfer is minimal from one coil to another. However, it’s important to note that this bed won’t prevent as much motion transfer as memory foam beds, so if you’re an exceptionally light sleeper who sleeps with a partner, you may prefer another option.

The cover on the Avocado mattress is made of breathable organic cotton, and directly under that is a layer of natural New Zealand wool (the wool is removed if you opt for a vegan mattress). These two materials not only help regulate the temperature. Plus, the wool is a flame retardant. Additionally, the first layer of an Avocado mattress is made from two inches of dunlop latex which help keep the bed temperature neutral.

Couples looking for a lot of bounce for nighttime activities will find it in this mattress. Thankfully, the individually wrapped coils and thick latex do a good job of minimizing motion transfer that could disturb sleep throughout the night. If one partner finds this bed too firm, opting for the pillow top or a separate topper should help without minimizing any of the supportive features.

This product arrives at your door compressed in a box. This delivery method cuts down on shipping costs and is much more convenient for you and the company.

If you want to eliminate the hassle of setting it up, the company offers in-home delivery for a small cost. They’ll take care of unboxing for you, and even remove your old mattress at the same time.

You have the option to add a Euro pillow-top which provides an additional 2 inches of plush organic latex for added pressure relief & eco-luxury.

For those who prefer a vegan bed, the company offers a mattress without wool.

The coils in the Avocado provide edge-to-edge support that includes specially reinforced coils along the perimeter of the bed. The extra reinforcement on the sides gives it exceptional performance in this category.

This hybrid bed combines latex and innersprings, both known for providing a lot of bounce. This is great for people who change positions a lot or struggle with mobility.

If you’re hoping to reduce your carbon footprint, this brand was built around its mission to offer sustainable and eco-friendly products for your bedroom. This bed is built using natural and organic material and features upcycled steel in its construction.

This hybrid design provides the flexibility needed to be used on an adjustable base.

Avocado is a hybrid that is compressed, shipped, and delivered in a box, and the mattress includes two heavy-duty handles on each side for ease of installation and positioning. It works on a variety of frames and bases, including adjustable, and the company recommends a sturdy foundation due to the mattress’ weight.

The Avocado features a soft and breathable organic cotton covering that sits atop this 11 inches high mattress. The button-tufting uses wool yarn rosettes that go from the top to the bottom of the mattress. This tufting increases the mattress’ durability because it reduces the chances that the layers will come loose or begin to bunch up over time.

• The first layer is made from 2 inches of GOLS-certified 100 percent Dunlop latex, which is sourced from natural, sustainable products, and is processed with no additional chemicals. This all-natural material is more heat resistant than other traditional foams and aerated to increase airflow.
• The second layer is made from individually pocketed 8-inch upcycled steel coils. These coils are tailored to the pressure point and support requirements of the shoulders, hips, spine, and knees.
• The base layer is 1 inch of the Dunlop latex that is a higher density than the latex used in the second layer, which makes it slightly firmer.
• The perimeter is reinforced with stronger coils to provide additional edge support.

Avocado mattresses are sent compressed and in a box. When you receive your mattress, simply move it to the room where it will ultimately reside while still in the box. It is advisable to have two people to move the mattress as the weight of it may catch some people off guard. Once you open the box, you will see that the mattress is wrapped in two layers of plastic. You will want to slide the mattress out on its side.

Next, unroll and remove the white plastic. It is important to not discard both layers of plastic at the same time, as your mattress will immediately start to expand even though it is still rolled. With the second layer of plastic still on, position the mattress where you want it.

Once you have gotten it in place, cut away the remaining plastic and watch it inflate. Your new mattress will be ready for use in a few hours. Unlike many other beds that come in a box, there will be no ungassing with the Avocado mattress. You can expect a fresh scent that will dissipate quickly.
