The Avocado Green mattress is something that you must consider if you are looking for a mattress that is (as the name says) green.

In this article, we will run through some of the features, advantages, disadvantages of the mattress, as well as who might be the ideal customer for the Avocado Green mattress.

Key takeaways:

• Eco Friendly
• 2 Firmness level
• Does not sink in like typical memory foam feel

Material 

The first thing we will take a look at is the material and construction of the mattress. The Avocado Green Mattress is mayearde in America, is 100% eco-friendly and all the materials used are completely natural. It consists of four layers, divided into two comfort layers and below it, two base layers. Customers can opt to add another 2’ pillow top comfort layer at a small fee.

½ inch Joma New Zealand wool: The top wool layer of the Avocado mattress helps regulate temperature, wick moisture, and is also antimicrobial, meaning to say it kills microorganisms. It provides comfort and softens the mattress for the body.  

2 inches natural 100% Dunlop latex rubber foam or 4 inches (if pillow top layer is added): This is a 100% natural latex that is more breathable, responsive and also more eco friendly than synthetic foams. The support layer consists of more than 1000 coils that is produced in the USA from recycled steel.

The coil core is separated into three different support zones. These are the pelvic zone and shoulder zone, which are a little bit softer and the lumbar zone which is more firm. This is to provide alignment in the spine for the sleepers.

1 inch of high density 100% Dunlop latex rubber foam: The base layer of dense foam strengthens the support of the Avocado Green mattress. Encasing the innerspring coil layer also provides additional durability to the mattress.

The Avocado Green Mattress is enveloped in an organic cotton cover. This cover is breathable and wicks moisture. On top of that, the cover is kept in place by hand-knitted Joma wool buttons.

Firmness

The Avocado Green mattress lies at a 7 on the firmness scale, 10 being the most firm. This indicates that the Avocado Green mattress is a medium-firm mattress. If you include the pillow-top comfort layer, the rating on the firmness scale is about a 6 out of 10. The firmness of the mattress of course varies according to the weight of the sleeper, whereby heavier sleepers will tend to feel it as less firm than lighter sleepers.

The firmness of the mattress is an important factor to consider when purchasing a mattress. This is because depending on your sleeping style, you might find more comfort in a more firm or less firm mattress. Hence, side sleepers who prefer a softer mattress may find the Avocado Green mattress slightly too firm if the pillow-top is not added.

The firmness of the latex and the coil support core makes the Avocado Green mattress a suitable mattress for heavier weighted sleepers. The stronger support that this bed offers will keep the bed from compressing even under heavier weight. Heavy sleepers are advised to choose a mattress of at least 12” thickness, thus they are encouraged to add the pillow-top comfort layer.

Temperature

Temperature control is one of the main stand out points about the Avocado Green mattress. The reason being is due to quality of the natural materials used in the production of this mattress. Latex mattresses normally tend to cause an issue with heat trap making sleepers have to deal with a hot night’s sleep, but for the Avocado Green mattress, due to it being all-natural latex, it actually sleeps cooler than synthetic mattresses. The natural fibers also makes it more breathable than synthetic once.

This mattress is completely natural and is comprised mostly of its 8” coil core. Innerspring mattresses also have less heat retention than mattresses made out of foam. The innerspring support core in the Avocado Green mattress allows good air flow as well as ventilation on the mattress.  Hence, customers in general, do not have an issue with heat retention using the Avocado Green mattress.

Besides being breathable, the Avocado Green mattress features the use of Joma wool and also organic cotton covers that helps absorb moisture and evaporate them to prevent sleepers from sweating in their sleeps. Thus, this is a great mattress to sleep in on hot nights.

All in all, the Avocado Green mattress does a great job with sleeping cold and regulating temperature.

Durability

The materials that are used to construct the Avocado Green mattress have been certified, sourced and tested for their quality. The Joma wool that is used in the Avocado Green mattress helps maintain its freshness. As for the Dunlop latex, it is known for its ability to last long as well as its resilience. Due to the replacement of polyfoam with latex at the comfort layer, the mattress should have a lifespan longer than most mattresses. In general latex are known to be quite a durable material. The solid steel innersprings are also made for durability.

The Avocado Green mattress are made to order in the USA. Their mattress are manufactured under a very tight quality control check and also environmental guidelines hence you will be guaranteed to receive it brand new, uncompressed and if any defects are detected, Avocado will replace the mattress with no charges.

Nonetheless, although the materials used in the construction of the mattress are of high quality, there are no promises to how long the mattress can last. This is due to the mattress being fairly new to the market. As Avocado Green mattresses has only been around for a few years, there is no actual data to prove its durability. However, tests indicate that the Avocado Green mattress will be able to last over the years.

Edge Support 

The Avocado Green mattress uses innerspring support core in order to strengthen the bed along its perimeter. But besides that, the Avocado Green mattress also has its thick pocketed coil layer and high ILD latex comfort layers that provides excellent edge support, even by hybrid mattresses’ standards. This also prevents sagging in the mattress over time.

Due to the materials used and the support provided in the mattress, the mattress is quite dense and can offer such great edge support. When laying by the edge of the bed, sleepers even for those who are heavier will only not have to be concerned about the lack of support or comfort. Even when sitting by the edge, most beds will compress inwards, but the Avocado Green mattress will only have very minimal depression on it.

This shows that the mattress has tremendous support which is needed by people who are generally heavier

Motion Transfer

Hybrid mattresses tend to have a weakness with motion isolation because of the innerspring support core. Innersprings often cause issues with motion transfer creating disturbance for the sleeper’s partner.

However, Avocado did take note of this weak point and did a good job to prevent this problem in the Avocado Green mattress through the latex layers.

Therefore, the motion transfer in the Avocado Green mattress is actually surprisingly low. This is because of the individually wrapped innerspring coils and the top layer of latex foam. 

Nevertheless, as mentioned above, innerspring mattresses do have issues with motion transfer, so though the Avocado mattresses works on minimizing this problem, users should not expect its ability to isolate motion to be as good as foam mattresses. But in comparison to other hybrid mattresses, the Avocado Green mattress does a great job with motion isolation.

Disadvantages

Allergies

One thing to note is that the Avocado Green Mattress uses latex layers which means that people with an allergy should definitely avoid this mattress.

Delivery Duration 

Due to time needed for the mattress to be made, then shipped, the delivery period is quite long since the purchase has been made. It may take 2-3 weeks for the mattress to arrive.

Conforming 

The latex that is found in the Avocado Green mattress does not have the ability to conform or hug the sleeper in the way memory foam mattress can offer. Maybe some sleepers may not fancy this feature, then it may not be a disadvantage.

But it is a weakness in the mattress. However, the mattress still does react and contour to its sleepers and it provides great pressure point relief due to its ability to support the right parts of the body.

Motion Transfer

Above, the Avocado Green mattress’ ability to isolate motion was talked about and it is not the best at motion isolation. Memory foam mattresses has made motion transfer practically unnoticeable in mattresses, but the Avocado Green mattress do not have that capability and there will be some motion transfer between sleepers and their partners.

What Makes the Avocado Green Mattress Different?
