As with most latex hybrids, the Avocado Eco Organic Mattress transfers a fair amount of motion across the bed. This may cause disruptions for sleep partners when the other person rolls over or gets in and out of bed.
Although the wool and latex conform somewhat to the sleeper, the materials don’t contour closely enough to effectively absorb movement. Likewise, despite being individually wrapped, the coils in the support core are naturally responsive and transfer more motion than a polyfoam support core.
Hybrids are generally not known for their motion isolation. Sleepers who wake easily from their partner’s movements may prefer a memory foam mattress.

Avocado creates sustainably made mattresses and bedding crafted with natural and organic materials. The company is a certified B Corp and a member of 1% for the Planet, and its products are certified climate neutral. Released in 2022, the Avocado Eco Organic Mattress aims to offer the same advantages as its predecessors at a more competitive price-point.
The Avocado Eco Organic Mattress is a 10-inch hybrid model made with organic cotton and wool, organic latex, and an 8-inch pocketed coil support core. The coils feature three zones designed to reinforce the edges and provide targeted spinal support. In terms of firmness, the Eco Organic Mattress falls at a 6 out of 10, or medium firm.
In addition to the Avocado Eco Organic Mattress, the brand also sells the flagship Avocado Green Mattress, a wool-free version called the Avocado Vegan, and the Organic Luxury Mattress, a latex hybrid with additional layers for added pressure relief.
We’ll delve into more detail regarding the characteristics of the Avocado Eco Organic Mattress and examine what makes it unique among the brand’s models. We’ll also discuss practical details related to shipping, Avocado’s sleep trial, and warranty policies to help you make your decision.

Side Sleepers
The Avocado Eco Organic Mattress performs well for side sleepers in all weight groups, particularly those weighing more than 230 pounds.
Wool and latex in the comfort system contour to reduce pressure buildup. The pocketed coils form a moderate cradle and allow the hips and shoulders to sink in slightly, encouraging healthy spinal alignment.
Side sleepers over 230 pounds exert more pressure on the mattress and experience deeper contouring as a result. Those under 230 pounds should also sleep comfortably, but they may experience slight pressure points after staying in the same position for too long.
Back Sleepers
The medium firm Eco Organic Mattress comfortably accommodates most back sleepers with a good balance of support and pressure relief. The comfort system contours to prevent pressure buildup in the lower back, while the pocketed coils provide sturdy support to keep the spine aligned.
The mattress performs best for those between 130 and 230 pounds. Some back sleepers under 130 pounds may prefer a softer mattress with more conforming, while those weighing more than 230 pounds may experience some sinkage in the midsection.
Stomach Sleepers
The medium firm Eco Organic Mattress maintains spinal alignment for most stomach sleepers. Sleepers require a firmer surface in this position, as overly soft surfaces can allow the midsection to sink in too far and put pressure on the back.
As with back sleepers, the moderate contouring of the Eco Organic Mattress suits stomach sleepers between 130 and 230 pounds. For these individuals, the relatively firm Dunlop latex and pocketed coils ensure reliable spinal support and sufficient pressure relief.
The mattress may be too firm for stomach sleepers under 130 pounds who experience pressure points when lying facedown. Conversely, those who weigh more than 230 pounds may require a firmer surface to keep the hips in line.

Mattress Performance
In addition to the hands-on feedback from our team, we conduct a number of quantitative tests in our Test Lab. The below ratings are based on the experience of our testers.
Avocado Eco Organic Mattress Review Breakdown
The Avocado Eco Organic Mattress is a latex hybrid measuring 10 inches tall. The mattress has an organic cotton cover quilted with organic wool. The responsive, breathable first layer helps wick away moisture and is intended to keep the sleeper cool and dry.
Beneath this, a 2-inch layer of organic Dunlop latex supplies responsiveness and moderate pressure relief. Dunlop latex is a durable material that tends to sleep cooler than synthetic foams. The latex is also aerated with pincore holes to increase airflow.
The final layer consists of an 8-inch pocketed coil support core made with recycled steel. A reinforced perimeter helps ensure stronger edge support, and a firmer zone in the center third of the mattress is intended to boost spinal alignment by supporting the lumbar area. The queen size option features 789 coils, helping to promote airflow and a cooler sleep.
The mattress rests on a thin layer of organic cotton canvas, with a thin strip of decorative green tape along the bottom perimeter. All the textiles used in the Avocado Eco Organic Mattress are certified by the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS), and the latex is certified by the Global Organic Latex Standard (GOLS).
Like Avocado’s other mattresses, this model is made in Los Angeles. The Eco Organic Mattress has a simpler design than other Avocado models and lacks a pillow-top option. Instead of hand-tufting, the layers are secured together with hog rings made from recycled steel. Four handles positioned strategically on the sides help users reposition the mattress on top of the bed frame.
The latex and wool used to make Avocado’s mattresses comes from co-owned farms and undergoes a stringent verification process to ensure fair and sustainable processing. Avocado shrink-wraps the Eco Organic Mattress for a smaller shipping footprint, and minimizes the use of plastic by using an outer paper layer.
The Eco Organic Mattress carries certifications from GREENGUARD Gold and Climate Neutral that indicate it meets standards for chemical emissions. The latex, cotton, and wool are certified free of harmful substances by OEKO-TEX, and the latex is certified sustainable by the Forest Stewardship Council, the eco-INSTITUT, and the Rainforest Alliance.

Mattress Prices and Sizing
The Avocado Eco Organic Mattress features an attractive price-point within the latex hybrid category. Using organic materials tends to raise the price of a mattress, particularly when it carries certifications from third-party organizations. But the price of the Eco Organic Mattress remains fairly low despite its many sustainable certifications.
In part, the lower price reflects its more basic design compared with the Avocado Green or Organic Luxury Mattress. However, the Eco Organic Mattress comes in at a lower price-point than many competing models. Shoppers can also expect the bed to have a longer-than-average lifespan if they properly care for it.
