Avocado launched in 2016 with the goal of creating environmentally friendly bedding, bed frames, and other sleep products. The company currently sells several hybrid and latex mattresses, all of which are handmade in Los Angeles. We’ll be examining the Avocado Organic Luxury Mattress, a latex hybrid mattress with seventeen layers.

The Organic Luxury Mattress features natural materials such as cotton, wool, alpaca fiber, mohair, and silk interspersed with layers of organic latex. The mattress has a pillow-top design and is supported by a pocketed coil core, arranged into five zones that are designed to provide extra reinforcement where it’s most needed.

This model is available in a standard and plush version. The standard has a medium firmness that rates a 5 out of 10 on the firmness scale. Shoppers who prefer a medium soft (4) mattress can choose the plush version, which has additional layers.

To help you determine if the Avocado Organic Luxury Mattress is right for you, we’ll examine its materials, construction, and performance. We’ll also outline important details of the trial, shipping, and warranty policies to help you make your decision.

Choose the standard model if:Choose the plush model if:
– you are a side sleeper or a back sleeper who weighs under 230 pounds, if you sleep hot, or if you need strong edge support. This model is also more affordable than the plush version.– you are a side sleeper who weighs under 230 pounds or if you prefer a softer surface. Individuals who want a mattress with a taller profile may also favor this option.

Side Sleepers

For side sleepers, mattresses that are too hard can exacerbate pressure points at the hips and shoulders, while models that are too soft can cause sinking that leads to improper spinal alignment.

The Avocado Organic Luxury Mattress offers a good balance between pressure relief and support, with zoned coils that form a deep cradle for the shoulders and hips. The medium firmness of the standard version is ideal for side sleepers between 130 pounds and 230 pounds, and is also suitable for those who weigh over 230 pounds. The plush model provides extra cushioning for side sleepers under 130 pounds.

Back Sleepers

Back sleepers benefit from sleep surfaces that provide sturdy spinal support. A mattress with some contouring can also help to prevent pressure from building up in the lower back.

The Avocado Organic Luxury Mattress performs well for back sleepers who weigh up to 230 pounds. The soft comfort layers cushion the body without conforming too closely, and the targeted support system helps keep the spine in a neutral position.

Back sleepers who weigh over 130 pounds may prefer the standard version, as the added comfort layers of the plush model may allow too much sink. Along the same lines, back sleepers over 230 pounds may not receive the support they need from either version.

Stomach Sleepers

Stomach sleepers tend to place considerable weight on their neck and lower back, and surfaces that are too soft may allow the midsection to sink too deeply. This sinking can place additional strain on the back and lead to pain or discomfort over time.

Stomach sleepers who weigh less than 130 pounds exert less pressure on the bed, and may find that the standard Organic Luxury Mattress provides adequate support. However, both the standard and the plush version may be too soft for stomach sleepers who weigh over 130 pounds.

Mattress Performance

Motion Isolation

7/10

The Organic Luxury Mattress provides above-average motion isolation.

Both latex and coils have a tendency to transfer movement. However, the Avocado contains a thicker-than-usual comfort section with multiple layers of wool, silk, cotton, and alpaca fiber. These softer materials help absorb movement to prevent it from rippling across the sleep surface. The pocketed coils also respond individually to pressure, minimizing motion transfer to the surrounding coils.

The plush model contains an extra layer of microcoils, but as these are also individually wrapped, they do little to affect the overall performance of the mattress.

Pressure Relief

7/10

Standard: 8 / 10

Plush: 6.5 / 10

Sleepers with sensitive pressure points benefit from plush surfaces that contour to the body and evenly distribute weight. With its medium firmness level, the Organic Luxury Mattress cradles the sleeper to minimize aches and pains. The zoned support core also helps promote proper spinal alignment.

The plush model adds more cushion, which may be preferred by sleepers who weigh less than 130 pounds. Those who weigh more than 130 pounds would do better to choose the standard version, which provides more support.

Temperature Control

10/10

Standard: 9.5 / 10

Plush: 8 / 10

The Organic Luxury Mattress excels at temperature regulation. The top of the mattress has a breathable cotton cover and moisture-wicking wool and alpaca fibers that help keep sleepers cool and dry. Further down, the convoluted latex and the pocketed coil system provide space for air to flow freely.

Though both the plush and the standard versions offer strong temperature neutrality, the plush conforms more closely and may trap some heat around the sleeper.

Edge Support

7.5/10

Standard: 8 / 10

Plush: 6.5 / 10

Thanks to the coil support core and the sturdy latex layers, the Avocado Organic Luxury Mattress has fairly strong edges that resist sinking. Most sleepers should be able to sit or sleep near the edges of the bed without feeling as though they will slip off.

Those who weigh over 230 pounds may experience some sinking around the perimeter. This effect may be more pronounced on the plush version, as it contains more layers of soft fibers that can compress under pressure.

Ease of Movement

9/10

The Avocado Organic Luxury Mattress provides adequate ease of movement for most sleepers. The coil support core and latex layers are responsive, and the plush comfort layers cushion the body without allowing too much sink. Wool and mohair are also naturally springy, giving them a more resilient feel than memory foam.

However, the mattress does allow sleepers to sink in somewhat, which may make movement challenging. Individuals with mobility issues or those who frequently change positions throughout the night may prefer a surface that is slightly bouncier.

Off-Gassing

9/10

Some mattresses give off a distinct odor when they are first unboxed. This chemical-like scent occurs as newly manufactured materials release volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Though VOCs are not thought to be dangerous, they can be irritating for some sleepers.

Beds that incorporate synthetic foams are most susceptible to off-gassing. Because the Avocado Organic Luxury Mattress is constructed using natural organic fibers, latex, and coils, the mattress does not give off a very noticeable scent. Any smell that is present should dissipate quickly.

Avocado Organic Luxury Mattress Review Breakdown

The Avocado Organic Luxury Mattress is composed of seventeen layers in total, including layers of pressure-relieving natural fibers and organic latex atop a zoned coil support core. The mattress has a medium (5) firmness rating. Shoppers can also choose a softer version, which has a medium soft (4) firmness rating.

The cover of the mattress is made using breathable organic cotton. Beneath the cover is a top panel that features layers of organic wool, 2 inches of alpaca fiber, second layers of wool and alpaca fiber, and cotton canvas. These materials are soft and provide excellent temperature control, and they are ethically sourced. The wool is certified by the Responsible Wool Standard.

The top panel rests on a gusset that begins with a 2-inch layer of organic Dunlop latex with three cut-out zones designed to provide targeted support and improve airflow. Beneath is a layer made of organic wool, silk, and mohair.

Beneath the gusset are several layers of cotton and wool, followed by a solid 2-inch layer of Dunlop latex that rests on an organic hemp pad. The support core consists of an 8-inch layer of wrapped coils. These are split into five distinct zones, designed to provide extra support for heavier areas of the body. Beneath is an additional hemp pad to round out the mattress.

The plush model differs from the standard version by integrating additional layers in the pillow-top. This version has a 3-inch layer of microcoils and a blend of wool, cotton, and silk. These added materials give the mattress a softer feel and a thicker profile.

Instead of using chemical adhesives, the mattress is needle-tufted together. It also features reinforced handles. The textiles and the latex are certified organic by the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) and the Global Organic Latex Standard (GOLS), and meet GREENGUARD Gold and OEKO-TEX standards for low emissions. The mattress is constructed without the use of flame retardants or harsh chemical treatments.

Mattress Prices and Sizing

The Organic Luxury Mattress is one of Avocado’s more expensive models, which is largely due to its additional layers.

Latex hybrid mattresses tend to have a higher price-point. This mattress further incorporates layers of costly products such as silk, mohair, and alpaca fiber, and the organic and socially responsible certifications also raise the price. However, the mattress has a breathable and highly durable design that should outlast many of its competitors.

With a 13.25-inch profile, the Organic Luxury Mattress has an average height for a mattress. Shoppers can also choose a plush model, which brings the height to 17 inches. Shoppers will need to purchase deep-pocket fitted sheets for the plush version.

As the mattress is quite heavy and not compressed for shipping, White Glove delivery is included in the purchase price. This service usually costs between $100 and $150, which is something to take into consideration when comparing against other models.
