Quick Comparison: Avocado vs PlushBeds

We Would Recommend Buying Avocado if You are Looking for:

• A hybrid experience. Shoppers should notice a classic latex mattress feel at first, with more sturdy support when the coils become activated. Reinforced edges help to maximize the usable sleep surface.
• Zoned support. The coil system offers 3 comfort zones to ensure the shoulder, hip, and knee areas receive the proper pressure relief and support.
• Made Safe certifications. Multiple certifications promise that this is a product with low VOC emissions and safe or non-existent levels of additives. The cover’s cotton and interior wool is certified organic, as is the latex. The rare Made Safe certification is given to non-toxic products.

We Would Recommend Buying PlushBeds if You are Looking for:

• A classic latex experience. If you are looking for soothing pressure relief lots of bounce, this springy latex bed should be right up your alley.
• Double-sided comfort. The layers inside this mattress can be flipped so shoppers can enjoy either a medium or firm comfort level. Queen sizes and larger can come in split models, which should allow couples to create different individual feels to suit their personal needs.
• Organic certifications. This product features loads of certifications promising the materials used inside are clean and organic.

Comparing Firmness (Support & Feel)

Using our comfort scale, we have assigned a ranking to each brand that should give you an idea of how either bed should feel. This scale assumes that 1 should feel whisper soft and 10 should feel firmer than cement.

Avocado’s mattress features a score of 7, which should feel medium-firm depending on the shopper. PlushBeds’ medium setting is scored at 5, while the firmer option holds a firm score of 7.5-8.

Either item should be a good fit for shoppers seeking a medium comfort option. Those who prefer a firmer feel should opt for the PlushBed.

Lying on each mattress should feel somewhat similar at first as temperature-regulating wool and organic cotton envelops you in a gentle cradle. The coils in the Avocado should offer pushback that prevents the shopper from sinking too deeply, providing bounce and enhanced zoned support.

PlushBed’s latex materials and all-foam construction should offer enhanced  compression, making it a great option for people seeking extra pressure relief, larger models can be split, allowing for different comfort feels for co-sleepers.

Comparing Sinkage and Bounce

Neither mattress should allow too much sinkage, shoppers should come to rest inside a gentle cradle when sleeping in either bed. Avocado should offer moderate bounce when compared to a typical hybrid mattress, while PlushBeds latex bed should offer high levels of bounce as compared to most all-foam products.

However, when comparing the two items to each other, there should be more bounce present in the hybrid as the coils should add more spring than the latex in the all-foam.

Comparing Motion Transfer

Because this hybrid has slightly lower levels of bounce compared to the average hybrid and innerspring mattress, it should allow less motion transfer than other products of the same type. Similarly, the latex mattress may provide more motion transfer than most all-foam beds because of its high levels of bounce.

When compared to each other, however, the PlushBed might be the best pick for someone looking to maximize energy isolation because all-foam models tend to outperform hybrids in this area as a whole.

Comparing Edge Support

Reinforced coils around the edges of the Avocado mattress should provide sturdy edge support designed to keep compression feeling consistent across the entire surface of this bed.

There may be more compression when lying on the edge of the latex PlushBed and a deeper compression when sitting. Overall, if couples are looking to spread out a bit and require solid edge support, Avocado’s reinforced edge coils maybe the way to go.

Comparing Construction (Materials & Quality)

The cover of this 11” mattress is made up of GOTS certified organic cotton and GOTS certified organic wool. Wool rosettes are used to create a button tufted design that helps to eliminate the need for adhesives.

An optional Euro top is available for purchase, which would add 2 extra inches of height to the bed.

• The first layer contains a 2-inch tall GOLS certified Dunlop latex designed to promote a cooler sleep due to its aerated construction.
• The second layer holds Steel Coils measuring 8 inches in height. This coil system features 3 comfort zones offering varying levels of support and pressure relief for the shoulders, knees, or hips.
• The base layer is a 1-inch Dunlop latex which is meant to provide a firm, sturdy base for the upper materials.
• The perimeter utilizes reinforced coils to ensure the sleeper can roll up right up to the edge of this mattress without feeling like they might fall off.

PlushBeds Botanical Bliss Construction

This latex mattress is compressed and then shipped to your door inside a box.

The organic circular-knit cotton cover surrounds an inch of temperature-regulating New Zealand wool. This bed is available in 3 different heights, 9, 10, and 12 inches. We will focus on the construction of the 10-inch model.

• The first layer includes three inches of Talalay Latex, a material that was designed to gently contour to the sleeper and foster pressure relief. The immediate response and bounce help make repositioning easy, and the plush quality caters well to sensitive areas like hips and shoulders.
• The second layer is made up of dunlop Arpico latex. A deeper level of firm support should be felt from this material. The cover of the bed can be unzipped and this layer can be placed on top or bottom to create a firmer or softer comfort setting.
• The base layer consists of a final firm layer of Arpico latex. This material should provide a stable foundation for the entire mattress.
