Who Is the Avocado Mattress Best for?

Avocado Green Mattress Review Highlights

What we love about the Avocado:

• While the Avocado bed is on the pricier side, you are investing in all-natural materials and a latex/hybrid mattress which is known to have great durability and one of the longest lifespans.
• Because of the inner coil system and latex top support, this mattress is going to provide great responsiveness; however, it is not going to be as contouring as a memory foam mattress will. You do have the choice of adding on a European-style optional pillow-top for added “fluff.” (It’s an extra $400 to add this to a queen size mattress.)
• Nearly all of the materials in the mattress can be recycled.
• The Avocado is one of our top-rated best organic mattresses.

Avocado Performance Highlights

✅ Pros

•  Avocado offers one of the most generous trial period and warranty combinations: a year-long trial and a 25-year warranty. They are clearly confident in the premium organic materials.
• Spine alignment: People who suffer from back pain need a mattress that provides good spinal alignment that keeps it from twisting unnaturally. Avocado scored a nearly perfect 9.5 out of 10 in our spine alignment test.
• Responsiveness: People who move around at night should look for a responsive mattress as it will adjust to these movements quickly. The Avocado mattress did well in this area thanks to the coil layer.
• Cooling: Avocado is made of cooling latex foam and breathable innersprings, making it a good mattress for hot sleepers.

❌ Cons

• Every Avocado mattress is made to order, so don’t expect a speedy delivery. It can take up to 3 weeks from the time you place your order to the time it shows up on your doorstep.
• The Avocado mattress didn’t score the best in motion isolation, meaning it may not be the best pick for people who sleep with a partner.
• In our pressure relief test, Avocado was harsh on the pressure point areas of side sleepers.

Product Information

Time to learn more about the Avocado mattress and see if it aligns with your sleeping preferences.

How Firm is the Avocado Mattress?

The Avocado lands on a 7 out of 10 on the firmness scale, classifying it as a firm mattress. This is ideal for back and stomach sleepers. With the added pillow top, the firmness level becomes a 6 out of 10 or medium-firm.

What Sleeping Position Does the Avocado Mattress Support?

The Avocado is more on the firm side and isn’t the best at relieving the pressure on side sleepers’ hips and shoulders. Side sleepers might want to opt for the pillow top option for some extra cushion.

However, both back sleepers and stomach sleepers will enjoy the firmness, and our pressure map showed almost no pressure in these positions. Avocado’s responsiveness also makes it a good option for combination sleepers.

Does the Avocado Mattress Sleep Hot?

The Avocado mattress consists of both latex foam and coil springs, two of the most breathable and naturally cool materials a mattress can be made with.

How Much Weight Does the Avocado Mattress Support?

A queen Avocado mattress supports 350 lbs. on each side or 700 lbs. total. This weight limit will support most types of sleepers.

What Foundations of Bed Frames Can be Used with Avocado?

A foundation is not required with Avocado, but if you choose to use one, a platform bed, an adjustable base, or slatted foundation will work fine. Avocado does not recommend using a traditional box spring as it can make the mattress feel too springy.

What is the Avocado Mattress Made of?

The Avocado is made with all natural and organic materials and offers a standard or pillow-top option.

Avocado Mattress Unboxing

It took us about two minutes to unbox and set up the Avocado mattress. It comes with side handles for easy maneuvering, but it does weigh 97 lbs. for a queen size mattress, so we suggest working with a partner. There was almost no off-gassing smell thanks to the organic mattress materials.

Purchasing Information

Avocado Mattress Shipping and Delivery

The Avocado ships free and is made to order, which takes about 5-7 business days, plus up to 7 days to ship your mattress.

Customer Reviews

• “THANK YOU Avocado!!! This was exactly what was needed. The bed is soft, yet firm. I can actually sleep on my back comfortably as well. I never sleep on my back. For those like me, you might want to skip the pillowtop option (with the pillowtop sew in) because it is firmer and denser than the softest topper that you can purchase in ADDITION to the mattress alone.” -Denise J.
• “Recently, bought a Queen with plush topper. I found the mattress a bit too firm for me after sleeping on it for a few nights. I got in touch with Jay (Avocado’s customer service person) and, without any hesitation, he proposed that he sent me another (softer) topper. I received the topper within a few days. I am now very happy with my mattress; I am a back- and side-side sleeper and this mattress gives me great neck and back support. Bottom line: Customer Service was exceptional. If ever I need another mattress, I feel I can order from Avocado, knowing that I will be taken care of.” – Michael L.
• “We have been sleeping on our new mattress with pillow top for a few weeks now. It is firmer than the old (spring) mattress we previously had and it took me about a week or so to get used to that but now we love it. (My husband liked it immediately.) I especially love it that I do not get woken up anymore every time my husband turns around as the movements on his side of the mattress are hardly noticeable on my side.” – Nicolette H.
