About Avocado Mattress
Avocado’s Green mattress and Vegan mattress are hybrid latex mattresses made from eco-friendly, natural materials. An additional pillow-top can add additional comfort and make the mattress less firm for those wanting a softer feel. Great edge support and high durability round out the top features of the Avocado line of mattresses.
Pros & Cons
- Vegan mattress available
- Environmentally conscious
- Durable hybrid latex
- Higher cost
About Avocado mattresses
Avocado mattresses come in two straightforward offerings: Green or Vegan. A pillow-top is available at an additional cost for added comfort and a less firm mattress overall. Both mattresses have Dunlop latex and a layer of innerspring coils that allow for a cool sleep and good edge support. The Green Model has wool, but the Vegan mattress uses cotton instead to keep the model free of any animal products. Each mattress comes with a 25-year warranty and a 100-night sleep trial. All products are handmade in the USA.

Avocado mattress construction and materials
The Avocado Green mattress is a latex hybrid model made with organic wool, Dunlop latex and a dense layer of innerspring coils. The mattress is eleven inches thick and comes in at a Medium Firm on the mattress firmness scale. If you add the optional pillow-top, the mattress becomes a Medium on the firmness scale. The Vegan model is similar to the Green model except it uses cotton instead of wool, making it free of all animal products.
Avocado mattress comfort
Dunlop latex and layers of innerspring coils make for a luxurious, cool sleep, and an optional pillow-top gives some additional comfort while softening the mattress. The Dunlop latex conforms well to the body, offering relief from pain and pressure.
- Firmness: Avocado mattresses are available at a 5 and a 6.5, or Medium and Medium Firm, respectively.
- Sleeping position: The Avocado mattresses work well with all sleeping positions, especially for side and back sleepers.
- Motion transfer: The mattresses have good motion absorption, but they won’t be as good at absorbing motion as memory foam mattresses.
- Edge support: The Avocado models have a dense, thick coil layer and several tiers of latex that offer even better edge support than other hybrid mattresses.
- Sleeping hot: The latex and innerspring mix means both Avocado mattresses sleep very cool.
Avocado mattress prices
The Green model and Vegan model are the same price. The additional pillow-top costs anywhere from $240 to $500 extra. Although the mattresses are pricy, the costs are comparable to other high-end hybrid mattresses.
| Mattress size | Avocado cost | Avocado pillow-top cost |
|---|---|---|
| Twin | $959 | $240 |
| Twin XL | $999 | $300 |
| Full | $1,199 | $300 |
| Queen | $1,399 | $400 |
| King | $1,699 | $500 |
| California King | $1,699 | $500 |
Are Avocado mattresses good?
Avocado mattresses are a good choice for those looking for an economically conscious hybrid latex mattress. The Vegan mattress is a great option for those who prefer to have no animal products in their mattress. A cooling sleep and solid edge support are two other important factors that make Avocado mattresses well worth it.

We purchased an Avocado mattress about five years ago. It is dipping significantly in the middle. After dealing with the company back and forth for months, they have acknowledged the dip (1 1/2”) and the bed is properly supported. This meets their warranty requirements. But they won’t replace it. We wake up in back pain every day. So now we need to go buy a new mattress. So only buy this mattress if you have the $$ to buy a new mattress every 4-5 years. Very disappointing.

After a separation from my husband and he moved out, my sister generously gave me money for a new mattress. I had looked around and read reviews and decided to buy the Avocado Mattress. It arrived and was wonderful. I slept well and pretty much stayed in the same spot all night (no tossing and turning) until 8 months ago I started to have lower rib and joint pain. I went to my doctor and ran all sort of tests that came up inconclusive. I even stopped working at at a salon because the commute becoming too much on my body, I would wake up sore and so stiff, I really thought it must be an autoimmune disease.
But I continued to ache my hips, shoulders and I was like an extremely different person who now complained and was depilated and then I thought if it isn't a sudden onset of some arthritis, and it just couldn't be the new $1,000 + organic mattress right? No it was the mattress! I swapped it out for my old one and my rib pain and hip and shoulders are almost pain free. I am not able to return the Avocado because I passed the deadline, so now have a huge, heavy, useless, painful mattress that I wasted so much money and physical pain on. I cannot wait to get rid of it ASAP.

Avocado is facing a barrage of lawsuits, I learned too late. We bought a king mattress for our winter home in California. After 5 months in one room we attempted to move the mattress to another, to our horror the entire bottom of the mattress was covered in bright green mold. A quick internet search will show you they rapidly get negative Google reviews deleted, with a horrendous profile on BBB. They are knowingly selling mattresses which probably already have mold growth within them. As for company accountability? In my case they asked me for a photo, which I sent and then they told me to discard the mattress as it was unusable. As soon as I arranged for garbage collection of the mattress, Avocado said they could not refund me as I no longer had a mattress to return.
The company uses a PR team to walk back all of their claims, for example, they claim to be GOTS when they are primarily only GOLS, they play with words to convince consumers we have all simply misread their claims of being mold proof and organic; these mattresses are neither. Bottom line, they put our child's health at risk and we have gone right back to the GOTS certified brand of mattress that we always used, which has been around longer and has no public lawsuits against them. The only thing truly green about this company is the mold, which I suspect is why they call themselves Avocado.

We bought a queen size Green Mattress with a Firm Latex Topper last year. The mattress felt great for about a month. We even bought another one. Then I developed chronic back pain. I was recently out of town for work for 2 months and suddenly no back pain. One night back on my Avocado mattress and my back pain is back. We also just noticed the mattress is dented where we sleep. My husband weighs 180 and I weigh 132. I bought a new reputable brand mattress today. Don't waste your money on an Avocado mattress.

We did a lot of research and wanted a kids mattress with no toxic chemicals, offgassing, etc. When the Avocado arrived, it stank like latex and chemicals. I messaged the company, and they said it would go away in a few days. I closed the mattress in a room for a month, opened the windows every other day, and the smell didn't go away.
Finally, I asked Avocado to return it due to the smell, and they suggested I rub baking soda all over the mattress to get rid of the smell. Are you serious? No thanks. They sent someone to pick it up, and for a month after, the entire room stank like chemicals. Now, a month later, after opening all the windows and turning on the fans, the smell is 90% gone. No wonder they're being sued for using toxic chemicals. I can't imagine putting my child on something that stank so bad for so long.

We’ve been sleeping on the mattress for a couple of weeks and like the comfort. I took off the linens to wash them and noticed indentations where we have been lying. My husband and myself are on the average as far as weight. This is concerning to me and I tried to turn it myself since it is time and they recommend turning more frequently at the beginning. I am unable to turn it by myself - it is heavy and the whole bed moves when I try to turn it so will wait until he gets home for some help turning. Haven’t let him know the recommended frequency of turning either yet - he won’t like it. Just wanted to put this out there because I read other reviews where this was happening and it may be the main problem with this mattress. Not sure if it will affect the comfort or not so will update later on, but this seems extremely early to start sagging.

Updated on 11/03/2022: This is a revised review a previous post made here that I am unable to edit (dropped from 3 stars to 1 with more time using their product). Ordered the green mattress (king) in October of 2019 and was really impressed by the look and feel of this mattress. Awesome materials - soft and high-quality. Truly gorgeous. The first few weeks were pleasant sleeping. My body depressed into the mattress a bit, but the cozy, fluffy experience made up for it. First few weeks were dreamy until the center of the mattress eventually started losing its integrity. The crater that expanded across the middle of the bed got progressively worse over time, creating lower back and hip pain that I would carry for the next 2 years.
Didn't realize the mattress was causing this issue until a few nights ago. Tried sleeping on another bed and the pain mostly disappeared after 1 night. Bottom line is Avocado's latex mattress, in my case, really failed from the start to provide a solid, stable sleeping surface. I even bought the almost $700 2" firm topper in 2020 which proved to be a very bad investment. Avocado seems to use top-notch materials but pushed out a poorly weight-tested product - the mark of a profit-driven org. As of this writing, my $2500+ mattress set is the largest paperweight in the house as I sleep elsewhere and shop for a better option. Also notice they do not respond to user ratings. At all. If a good night's sleep is important to you, try one of Avocado's mattresses at your own risk.
Original Review: I received my green mattress October, 2019, so I've had 2 1/2 years of experience to date. I weigh approx 190lbs, 5'11". Ordered a king, which weighs around 140 lbs. I started off sleeping right in the middle of this bed, and after a few nights I would sink bit by bit until it felt like there was a few inches of indentation that wouldn't self-repair. I would then move to the edges of the bed, which held up a little longer before sinking.
Over the last 2 years, I've either changed my sleep position of slept on the couch, depending on my mood. While my foundation (made specifically for heavy latex mattresses) could be part of the issue, it seems obvious that Avocado latex mattresses do not have the ability to absorb body weight without compromising integrity or to recover from it. I even bought the almost $700 2" topper (firm) in 2020 but that did nothing. Avocado seems like a top-notch company regarding material usage (organic, high-end plush fabrics) but are still in experimental stage when it comes to the prevention of mattress sagging/cratering.

Avoid Avocado at all cost. I ordered a $7000 top of the line mattress 8 weeks ago and it still hasn't arrived. I was told when I ordered it that it would take 4-5 weeks but was told "it usually comes much faster". They claimed they shipped it three weeks ago but after calling the shipping company several times I have been told that they don't have it. Then they tell me that they are using a third party company but they don't have any tracking for that company. It doesn't take 3 weeks for something to move across the country.
Additionally, since I ordered it they have lowered the price of the mattress by $700 and when I asked for a price adjustment I was told it was a "different" mattress because it was 1" thinner but it was called the exact same name (not 2.0 or new). They said they wouldn't give a price adjustment but I could cancel the first one and order the "new" one but it would be another 5 weeks which would most likely be 8+ weeks given how things have gone so far. They have repeatedly lied about the status and it's a different story every time I have called.
To put it bluntly they are incredibly poorly run (much like Peloton). To make matters worse they claim they make their own mattresses but the shipping company let the cat out of the bag and stated that it was coming from Masterpiece which is a mattress manufacturer in Los Angles (the same place Avocado says they manufacture) so I have serious doubt about their claim of making it themselves. They simply can't be trusted and I don't believe they will be in business long enough to cover any warranty they offer.

I have not yet received my mattress, so I can't speak to that but if I had to redo this I would go with a different company. I went to the Santa Monica store to place my order and had a great experience - we tried all the beds and found the one we liked best. I went home and ordered on July 10. The website claimed a wait time of 5-7 days. The personalized email I received said 3-5. I followed up after 5 days and was told wait 5 more. Fine. It's now July 26 and there is still no timeline for when the mattress should ship, just "hopefully by August 2nd." For $2,500, I expect a company to keep their word or proactively update me on delays. I bought new bedroom furniture, as I am upgrading bed size, whose delivery I continually have to delay. The customer service is polite, but useless as they can't help at all. I wish I had ordered from elsewhere and hope you do.

Bought the Avocado all natural latex mattress in May 2021, hoping it would be like my old organic latex mattress which I l used for 10 years. I'm 100lbs, 5'2", and side sleep alone. I have a fancy German slatted frame underneath. This is NOT the bed for me. Perhaps the more popular Avocado hybrid with springs is better. I am going to try my friend's and either swap or just ask for a refund. Since May, I have felt more back and shoulder pain in bed in years! I need a firmer bed with more support.
