Avocado has been leading the way in the organic mattress<\/a><\/span> world, largely by making products in its own California-based facility and maintaining control over the entire supply chain. Unlike conventional mattresses<\/a><\/span>, organic mattresses are made with natural materials like wool and latex, plus they’re free of any potentially toxic foams, chemical fire retardants or off-gassing materials. Avocado currently makes seven different mattresses, plus bedding, bed frames and furniture.\u00a0<\/p>\n When I tried out the original Avocado Green mattress for myself, I found that it either met or exceeded my expectations in almost<\/em> all categories. Keep reading our in-depth Avocado mattress review to find out if the Green mattress is the best choice for you.<\/p>\n CNET’s Best mattress <\/a><\/p>\n See at Cnet<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n <\/a> $999 at Avocado<\/p>\n Get Price Alerts<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n You’re receiving price alerts for Avocado Green mattress<\/p>\n Score Breakdown<\/strong> Watch CNET video producer\u00a0Owen Poole<\/a>\u00a0review the Avocado Green mattress.<\/em><\/p>\n The Avocado Green mattress decompressed pretty much instantly upon unboxing, and it let off zero off-gassing smell. When I laid down for the first time, I immediately felt comfortable and relaxed. It wasn’t too soft or too firm, and I felt well-supported. As I shifted into each of the different sleeping positions, they all felt nice, but my favorite position (stomach) felt best for me as usual. I noticed that the mattress wasn’t too firm to accommodate my softer body parts.\u00a0<\/p>\n With the\u00a0optional pillow top component<\/span>, I rate this mattress a seven out of 10 on the firmness scale, which means it has a medium-firm feel (called “gentle firm” on the Avocado site). This is great for anyone experiencing back pain<\/a><\/span>, or heavier sleepers<\/a><\/span> or if you’re a back or stomach sleeper.<\/a><\/span>\u00a0Without the pillow-top, the Avocado Green is around a nine out of 10.<\/p>\n The Avocado Green’s firmness profile also makes it perfect for a stomach sleeper or back sleeper, so it makes sense that I felt most comfy in that position.\u00a0<\/p>\n The Avocado Green mattress can come with an optional pillow top for those that like a softer feel.<\/p>\n <\/span> The main comfort material in an Avocado Green mattress is organic latex. It’s an interesting material because it’s soft and supple, but also very supportive and durable. It gives the mattress a comforting, pressure relieving and doesn’t pull you into its layers like memory foam does.\u00a0<\/p>\n Instead, the Avocado Green is pretty bouncy. The pocketed coil layer found in the base of the mattress also gives the mattress some bounce. If you opt for the optional pillow top, it’ll be a little more cushy and plush.\u00a0<\/p>\n With any organic mattress, materials are an important factor to consider. The Avocado Green mattress consists of eco-friendly natural materials, including certified organic Dunlop latex, GOTS organic wool and organic cotton, as well as an innovative innerspring mattress unit with five strategic support zones. Due to the design of the innerspring unit and the support zones, the Avocado Green need never be flipped. Rather, it is recommended that you rotate it.<\/p>\n The breathable, organic cotton cover is the first part you’ll notice upon unboxing, and the rosettes on top of it are a lovely touch. (Watch your cat around them if you have a mischievous boy like mine — he managed to unravel one before I realized I needed to keep the mattress covered in his presence.)\u00a0<\/p>\n These hand-tufted rosettes hold the mattress together without the need for glues or adhesives.<\/p>\n <\/span> These wool rosettes are actually the end result of ribbons that have been pulled through more than 30 locations inside the mattress. This process holds the layers together without the need for toxic glues or adhesives. Both clever and attractive, the process is officially called “needle-tufting,” a technique that originated in the 17th century, per Avocado.<\/p>\n Inside the mattress are two layers of organic latex, two inches of which can be found on the upper comfort layer, plus a one-inch layer in the base. Between those layers are the covered pocketed coils and a few inches of cushy organic wool.\u00a0<\/p>\n There are two upholstered handles sewn onto both sides of the Avocado mattress, which make it much easier to move it around. You can’t see them underneath a fitted sheet either. Nice!<\/p>\n I am a bona fide hot sleeper<\/a><\/span>, and I found myself very comfortable lying on this mattress, staying cool throughout the night without a single thought about being too warm. I suspect it’s the combination of the latex and coil springs that promote optimal breathability in the Avocado mattress, allowing it to remain cool all night.\u00a0<\/p>\n I tried sitting on and lying close to the edges of the Avocado Green to test the edge support, and felt nicely supported on each area of the mattress. I didn’t feel like I was going to roll off at any point while I slept on it, either. This didn’t really surprise me after reading about the Avocado Green mattress on the company website, where it notes that the supportive coils are arranged all the way to the edges of the mattress.<\/p>\n The mattress didn’t perform extremely well for my motion isolation testing, which clashed with my expectations from others’ reviews about it. As I slowly moved around or rose to stand up from the bed, I noticed the flat-bottomed glass of water I had placed beside me could not be trusted to remain upright. The Avocado Green had very little to brag about motion transfer-wise, at least in the\u00a0twin size<\/a><\/span>. This is fine with me as I sleep alone, but may not be a great attribute if your sleeping partner is restless on a larger mattress.\u00a0<\/p>\n The Avocado Green mattress uses strong steel coils and latex foam, making it one of the more durable mattresses you can buy. Latex foam is more durable than poly and memory foam, and steel coils add even more support and durability to a mattress.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n Avocado works in too many eco-friendly ways to name all of them here, but here are just some of the ways it’s earned a reputation as one of the top eco-friendly mattress brands on the market.<\/p>\n The Avocado Green is pricier than some conventional bed-in-a-box mattresses, but worth the money.<\/p>\n <\/span>
