If you’re ready to make your friends green with envy, you’ll want to check out the Avocado Green mattress. An organic latex hybrid mattress, the mattress stands out due to its high-quality, natural materials that have obtained third-party certifications to ensure low emissions and an ethical manufacturing process. The bed is offered in three models — Standard Firm, Pillow Top Medium, and Box-Top Plush — with the price increasing with each added layer. In this article, I’ll be reviewing the Standard Firm Avocado Green, which is the firmest model.
I’ve been at Sleepopolis for three years focusing on mattress performance and testing, so I know a thing or two about the best mattresses for different types of sleepers. Our team of certified sleep science coaches and expert testers has tested more than 330 mattresses in our Sleepopolis studio based in Charlotte, NC using our medically approved testing methodology. We’ve seen our fair share of excellent and poor results, so we’re able to make very specific recommendations to sleepers based on their sleeping position, body type, and other sleep preferences.
Our team works with a network of medical professionals, such as board-certified doctors, registered nurses, physical therapists, and sleep experts, who review our findings for accuracy. Dr. Raj Dasgupta MD, FACP, FCCP, FAASM worked closely with our team to create our testing methodology and also supplied us with expert advice based on his years of experience.
When we tested the Avocado Green mattress, we were impressed by its responsive nature, which comes from layers of latex foam and bouncy spring coils. We also found some solid edge support that prevents it from sagging prematurely. Based on our tests, which I’ll get into below, this mattress is ideal for back sleepers of all body types and some side sleepers.
Made with organic cotton, wool, natural latex, and recycled steel coils, the Avocado Green mattress is an organic, latex hybrid mattress that provides sleepers with responsiveness and strong support. We think this bed should be especially comfortable for back sleepers and combination sleepers who switch sleeping positions at night. Also, innerspring coils promote airflow and latex is a naturally porous material, so this should be a good choice for hot sleepers who need a cooling mattress. Learn more in our video review.
What our tester says:
“The materials and construction have received a plethora of third-party certifications for sustainability that can appeal to eco-friendly shoppers. Also, combination sleepers should be able to easily move from one position to another without feeling inhibited.” – Riley Otis, staff writer and certified sleep science coach
Avocado Green Mattress Overview
The Avocado Green is an organic, latex hybrid mattress that has obtained multiple certifications to verify its eco-friendly construction. When it comes to its feel, we ranked it a 7 out of 10 on our firmness scale. This means it’s a medium-firm mattress that leans slightly firm. This construction is most compatible with back sleeping, as it’s supportive enough to promote proper spinal alignment while still supplying some nice cushioning.
The Standard model is 11 inches tall and has a needle-tufted cover made from organic wool. In Avocado’s Los Angeles factory, the company hand-stitches organic ribbons through each layer, which means there’s no need for the chemical adhesives that some companies use to bind mattress layers together. The Avocado is a bed-in-a-box, so it will arrive compressed at your door ready to be unboxed and inflated. You can also opt for an in-home setup and delivery if you prefer.
When we tested this bed, we found it very easy to move around on due to its bouncy construction, so we gave it 5 out of 5 stars for responsiveness. We also appreciated its ability to relieve pressure for back sleepers — which helps reduce muscle strain and lower back pain — and gave it 4.3 stars for this based on our pressure map test. When we combined all of our testing results together, the Avocado earned an overall score of 4.1 out of 5.
Avocado Green Mattress Review Video
For a quick look at the Avocado Green mattress, check out our review video. Keep in mind, we recently retested this bed, so the star ratings in the video may not reflect our most recent findings.
Avocado Green Value
When we talk about value, we simply mean whether or not the bed is priced fairly considering the quality of its materials and overall mattress performance. The Avocado Green is made with very high-quality materials, which have earned certifications such as Global Organic Latex Standard (GOLS) for its latex and Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) for its wool and cotton. Additionally, this bed is safe for the environment, as evidenced by its Climate Neutral and GREENGUARD Gold certifications, as well as the fact that it has been Formaldehyde-Free Claim verified, OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified, EWG verified, and meets the MADE SAFE certification requirements.
That’s a lot of third-party verifications to support our findings that this bed is packed with quality materials. Organic beds, especially latex mattresses, are typically priced higher than standard beds, and the Avocado Green is no different. However, despite its higher price, we consider it a great mattress for the money because it’s safe, durable, and should last you many years. A queen size bed is currently sold for $1,999 before sales and discounts.
What Is the Avocado Green Made Of?
When I test mattresses, I always cut into the side so I can get up close and personal with the materials and construction. This allows me to examine each layer individually and assess its quality.
The Avocado Green mattress comes in both Standard and Pillow Top versions. For this review, I tested the Standard version, which has an 11-inch profile and a straightforward, three-layer design that includes latex and individually wrapped coils.
As mentioned earlier, these materials have been awarded a variety of certifications for manufacturing, low emissions, and eco-friendly practices, so you can rest easy knowing the bed doesn’t contain fiberglass or heavy metals and was built with an eye toward sustainability.
Cover – Made from certified organic cotton and hand-tufted with GOTS wool, this cover is soft, breathable, and designed to wick moisture away from the body.
Comfort Layer – A layer of organic Dunlop latex provides cushioning and buoyancy.
Support Layer – A tall layer of individually wrapped coils that contains seven “strategic zones” to optimize support where the body needs it most.
Avocado Green Mattress Firmness
When it comes to firmness level, we know that not every sleeper has the same opinion. What you may consider very firm might feel too soft to another sleeper who has a different body type or preferred sleeping position. That’s why we ask multiple expert testers to provide a firmness rating, and then find the average to create our final firmness score. Our testers rank firmness on a scale from 1 to 10, where 1 is the softest and 10 is the firmest. A score of 6.5 out of 10 marks a true medium-firm feel.
The Avocado Green falls at a 7 out of 10 on the firmness scale, making it a medium-firm bed that leans a touch firmer than average. While the bed provides some slight cushioning, the latex and coils provide enough support to keep the sleeper lifted and prevent too much sinkage.
When our expert tester and Sleepopolis managing editor, Dan Caffrey, tested the Avocado Green, he found it most compatible with back sleepers and some side and stomach sleepers, which I’ll discuss more later. Overall, this bed will likely have you feeling more “on” it than “in” it, but you’ll still be able to experience some nice cushioning.

Avocado Green Mattress Performance
While a mattress’s construction and firmness are important to consider, there are a few performance factors that you’ll want to take note of before finalizing your purchase. Alongside me, our testers Dan Caffrey, Tatum McKee, Erin Chiles, Carter Coughlin, Asha Birjah, Marten Carlson, Jared Myers came together in our Sleepopolis testing studio to evaluate the Avocado Green in pressure relief, motion isolation, responsiveness, cooling, and edge support.
We collected data based on both subjective and objective tests to get a better understanding of how the mattress performs for different types of sleepers. Below, I’ll provide a quick summary of each test and how the Avocado Green performed.
Avocado Green Pressure Relief Performance
When it comes to pressure relief, our Chief Medical Advisor Dr. Raj Dasgupta says memory foam and latex provide the best cushioning at the body’s most sensitive joints, so I was excited to test this latex bed and see if it lived up to the expectation.
We tested this mattress for pressure relief using three sleepers of different body types — a lightweight sleeper, an average-weight sleeper, and a heavyweight sleeper — to get a deeper understanding of the bed’s compatibility with a diverse range of bodies. This is an important part of our testing process, because your body type can determine how much pressure relief you experience. For example, heavy sleepers over 230 pounds typically experience more pressure building at their joints, as there’s more weight being placed on that area.
Our test involves rolling a specialized mat onto the surface of the mattress and having each tester lie on it on their back and side. The mat is able to sense where more or less pressure is building along the body and then translate the results to a graphic using thermal imaging. Areas displaying blue and green indicate low pressure buildup, while yellow and red indicate high pressure building. It also provides us with an average PSI for each sleeper, which stands for pounds per square inch. This gives us an idea of how evenly weight is being distributed.
We found an average pressure relief score of 4.3 out of 5 stars in the back-sleeping position and 3.3 out of 5 stars in the side-sleeping position. When we average these scores together, we get a decent overall pressure relief score of 3.8 stars.
During this test, our testers felt most pressure relief when sleeping on their backs. Our heavyweight tester Marten Carlson said, “My hips are sinking in just the right amount and I feel very aligned with good lumbar support.” His average PSI was 13.49, which is just a tad higher than the overall back-sleeping PSI average of 12.4. Our average-weight and lightweight testers experienced even more pressure relief in this position, with PSI averages of 12.9 and 10.4 respectively.
Since this bed is on the firmer side, it doesn’t provide as much sinkage and body contouring around the hips and shoulders, which isn’t the best match for side sleeping. The average mattress PSI for side sleeping is 14.9, and only our lightweight tester Asha Birjah had a lower PSI, recorded at 11.49. She felt like her spine was aligned, but she did sense a bit of pressure forming at her hips. Our average-weight and heavyweight testers experienced less pressure relief, with PSI averages of 16.2 and 17.9 respectively, and both noted pressure building at their shoulders. Based on these results, we wouldn’t recommend this bed to strict side sleepers, especially those with sensitive joints.
Avocado Green Motion Isolation
If you sleep with another person, this section may be especially relevant. Motion isolation refers to the bed’s ability to absorb movement on impact and prevent the sleeper on the other side of the bed from feeling it. When a bed has low motion transfer, both sleepers can toss and turn as much as they want without disturbing their partner. Dr. Raj Dasgupta says motion isolation can also be an indicator of the materials and construction quality. We assess motion isolation using a ripple test and a partner test, and the Avocado Green earned an average score of 3 out of 5 stars.
We begin the ripple test by placing a large tub of water on one side of the mattress and then rolling around and switching sleeping positions on the other side. We observe how much our movement impacted the liquid and whether it has just a few small movements or major sloshing. When Dan Caffrey got in and out of the Avocado Green, he noticed only a bit of motion in the tub; however, this amplified when he switched sleeping positions. As he rolled from one side to the next, the water was splashing more but still didn’t spill over.
The next test is our partner test. This is similar to the ripple test, but we use a human instead of a water tub. One sleeper lies on the bed with a blindfold on and raises their hand any time they can detect movement on the other side. When Dan did this test, he couldn’t tell exactly what the other tester was doing, but he could tell that someone was there. He didn’t find the motion too disturbing but thinks light sleepers may be easily awakened.
Based on its 3-star motion isolation results in these tests, we wouldn’t recommend this bed to couples if one or both partners sleeps lightly. While you won’t feel jostled around, your sleep might be disturbed by a restless partner next to you.
Avocado Green Responsiveness
When we talk about responsiveness, we simply mean how quickly the bed returns to its original shape after pressure has been applied. In our experience, latex and innerspring mattresses are the most responsive. During testing, Dan said, “The Avocado Green is one of the most responsive mattresses I’ve tested, which is par for the course for natural latex foam, especially when paired with a layer of bouncy spring.” We performed four tests to evaluate responsiveness, which I’ll explain below, to find an overall responsiveness score of 5 out of 5 stars.
Switch test: This test is very simple. A tester lies on the mattress and moves from their back to their side to their stomach. They observe how easy it is to transition between the sleeping positions and if they experience any bounce while doing so. They also observe whether they feel any layers trapping them and inhibiting their movement. When Dan performed this test, he gave the Avocado Green 5 stars and said he had no problem switching positions.
Responsiveness test: I performed this test myself — it involves placing a 53-pound kettlebell on the bed for seven seconds and then pulling it straight up. I then used a stopwatch to measure exactly how long it took for the Avocado Green to return to its original shape. It bounced back in less than a second, which earned the mattress 5 stars for this test.
Sinkage test: For this one, I got the kettlebell back out and placed it on the center of the mattress. I used a ruler to measure how far it sank in and found 3.5 inches of sinkage. We classify sinkage between 2.6 inches and 4 inches as “moderate.” You won’t compress the layers too much when lying on this mattress, but you’ll still find a bit of sinkage.
Bounce test: Finally, we dropped a 25-pound steel ball onto the Avocado Green from 6 feet above the mattress and used a yardstick on the wall to measure how high it bounced. The ball went 15 inches into the air, which qualifies as high bounce.
Avocado Green Cooling
If you’re a hot sleeper who often overheats at night, you should pay extra attention to this section. If your bed doesn’t help regulate temperature, prevent heat-trapping, and wick away moisture, you could wake up a sweaty mess. We evaluated the Avocado Green’s cooling abilities using a thermal gun test, a cover test, and a feel test to create an overall cooling score of 3.5 stars.
Thermal Gun test: This test helps us collect quantitative data that shows how the mattress responds to body heat. We first grab our thermal gun and record the initial temperature of the mattress before anyone has touched it. Then we have a tester lie on it for five minutes, and we record the bed’s temperature again. If the temperature increases by fewer than 5 degrees, we consider it to have excellent cooling. An increase of 5 to 10 degrees indicates good cooling, 10 to 15 degrees indicates decent cooling, and more than 15 degrees indicates poor cooling.
When Dan performed the thermal gun test on the Avocado Green, the mattress went from 65.5 degrees to 74.7 degrees. This is an increase of 9.2 degrees, which earned 3.5 stars. This isn’t the worst cooling result we’ve ever seen, but we don’t think this bed regulates temperature well enough for especially hot sleepers. However, sleepers that don’t regularly experience overheating shouldn’t have any issues.
Cover test: While the tester is resting on the mattress for five minutes, they take note of how the cover feels when they first lie down. The Avocado Has an organic cotton cover that Dan thought was cool to the touch.
Feel test: Next, the tester observes whether or not they can feel the mattress heating up below them. Although the bed ended up heating up by 9.2 degrees, Dan didn’t notice the increase. “I’m surprised it heated up as much as it did, as that wasn’t what I was feeling when my body was on it,” he said.
Avocado Green Edge Support
When a mattress has strong edges, the perimeter of the bed is just as supportive as the very center. This can be important for couples, as it allows them to use the full surface area of the mattress and spread out without feeling like they’re about to fall off. It’s also a durability indicator, as weak edges are more likely to sag over time. When we tested edge support on the Avocado Green, we performed a tape measure test, a seated test, and a full body test to create an overall score of 4.6 stars.
Tape Measure test: This objective test involves placing stacks of weighted plates directly on the edge of the bed and measuring how many inches the layers collapsed. We create three stacks to represent three weight classes — a 99-pound stack, a 154-pound stack, and a 198-pound stack. From lightest to heaviest, the sinkage went from 2 inches to 3 inches to 4 inches. These are great results, as the edges were able to support even the heaviest stack without completely collapsing. When we combine the ratings from all three stacks, the Avocado gets an average of 4.6 stars.
Seated test: Next, a tester sits on the edge of the bed with their feet on the floor and stands up and down. They pay attention to how supported they feel and whether they need to use their hands to assist them when standing. Dan performed this test and felt very stable. “I was able to get to my feet with little issue, even though I noticed a little bit of sinkage,” he said. “I should note that the edge support was much weaker at the head and foot of the bed than it was along the sides, which seems to be a hallmark of latex hybrids like this one.” He gave the seated test 4 stars.
Full body test: Finally, our tester lies on their side, back, and stomach near the edges and observes their stability. Dan thought the edges were strong and supportive in all three sleeping positions. “I always felt secure and never like I was going to fall off,” he said. He gave the mattress 4 stars for this test.
Avocado Green Mattress Performance for Couples
If you sleep with a partner, the most relevant mattress factors to consider are cooling, responsiveness, motion isolation, and edge support. Based on the Avocado Green’s performance in these categories, I think it can be a solid choice for many couples.
The Avocado earned high scores of 4.6 stars and 5 stars in edge support and responsiveness, respectively. This means both partners will be able to sleep right up to the very edge, which can make a mattress feel larger. Its high level of bounce is also excellent for sexually active couples, as this can help them switch between positions without feeling stuck.
The bed performed less positively in the motion isolation and cooling categories, earning 3 stars and 3.5 stars respectively. While these aren’t terrible results, they are something to keep in mind if either you or your partner tends to sleep hot or toss and turn.
Other Performance Factors to Consider
While the mattress performance tests above are the most important to a majority of sleepers, there are a few additional tests we perform to give you the largest scope of the bed’s abilities.
Sex
We create our score for sex by finding the average of the responsiveness, cooling, and edge support tests. The best mattress for sex is usually responsive enough for couples to easily move around and switch positions. It also helps keep things from getting too steamy by providing good cooling and has strong edges that can be relied on, no matter where your libido takes you on the bed. Based on the 5-star responsiveness, 4.6-star edges, and 3.5-star cooling, this bed has a stellar overall score of 4.3 for sex.
Noise
Our tester Tatum McKee tested the noise on this bed and found it very quiet. She didn’t notice the sound of air escaping the foam when she pressed down on it, nor did she hear the coils creak or squeak. She gave this bed 5 stars for noise because it shouldn’t disrupt your sleep, even when you move around.
Base Compatibility
Tatum also tested the Avocado Green’s compatibility with an adjustable base. She didn’t think the bed perfectly contoured the curves of the adjustable base, so she only gave it 3 stars. While the bed conformed pretty well to the base when the head and feet were elevated, she noticed the tufted cover scrunching up in the middle. The fabric bunching up in one area was uncomfortable, as it caused a lump underneath her lower back.
Durability
Mattresses are a major purchase, so you’ll want to get the maximum possible use from your new bed before it needs to be replaced. We evaluate a mattress’s durability by looking at the quality of the materials, the support layer, the support at the edges, and the warranty. High-quality materials last longer than cheap materials and are less likely to deteriorate over time. A strong support system, especially at the edges, prevents the bed from sagging prematurely and causing uncomfortable indents. The warranty can also give us an idea of how long the mattress brand expects its product to last.
Overall, I think the Avocado Green is pretty durable. The combination of latex and coils give the mattress a lot of lift and support, and this extends right to the very edge. I don’t think the bed is prone to premature sagging. The high-quality organic materials have been certified not only for their supreme quality, but also for their safety, so they’re unlikely to break down over time. Avocado provides a 25-year warranty on its mattresses, which earns it 5 stars. Based on all these factors, I think you’ll be able to use this mattress right up to the 25-year mark without issue.

Avocado Green Sleeping Position and Body Weight
Your sleeping position and body type are directly correlated to how the mattress will perform for you. For example, what feels soft to a heavy stomach sleeper will likely feel very firm to a lightweight side sleeper. It all depends on how much weight is being placed on certain parts of the body. Below, I’ve broken down each weight class and how the bed will likely perform when you’re sleeping on your back, side, and stomach.
Before we dive into our recommendations, though, we want to recognize that people come in all shapes and sizes, and people of every size deserve a mattress that works for their body type. We use the weight categories light, average, and heavy to more easily categorize sleepers based on how mattresses will perform for their body type, as most mattresses are designed for the group we call “average” (130 to 230 pounds).
As a general takeaway, lighter sleepers don’t require as much support as average-weight sleepers, and mattresses will tend to feel firmer to them. On the other hand, heavy sleepers tend to need more support than average-weight sleepers and tend to sink into the mattress more. As far as sleeping positions go, side sleepers tend to need a softer mattress, while stomach sleepers usually need a firmer, more supportive one. Back sleepers are usually somewhere in the middle.
Is the Avocado Green a Good Mattress for Light Sleepers (Under 130 pounds)?
- Light Back Sleepers – This bed is an excellent choice for these sleepers, as it’s supportive enough to prop the hips in line with the shoulders, thus placing the spine in an optimal position.
- Light Side Sleepers – Some lightweight side sleepers can appreciate the slight cushioning they get at their hips and shoulders, but those with sensitive pressure points may want a bed with a bit more sinkage.
- Light Stomach Sleepers – Since the bed is slightly firmer than average, these sleepers shouldn’t experience too much sinkage at their hips, which will keep their spine properly aligned.
Is the Avocado Green a Good Mattress for Average-Weight Sleepers (130–230 pounds)?
- Average-Weight Back Sleepers – The Avocado is a great pick for these folks, who should achieve ideal spinal alignment while also experiencing a bit of cushioning at their lumbar region.
- Average-Weight Side Sleepers – I think most side sleepers will find this bed to be too firm to properly cushion their hips and shoulders in this position. However, I think some side sleepers who prefer a firmer feel could appreciate the Avocado Green.
- Average-Weight Stomach Sleepers – This bed isn’t quite firm enough for stomach sleepers, as their hips are likely to sink too far, which causes the lower back to bend unnaturally and can lead to lower back pain.
Is the Avocado Green a Good Mattress for Heavy Sleepers (over 230 pounds)?
- Heavy Back Sleepers – Larger-bodied sleepers should feel comfortable back sleeping on this mattress, but I would recommend they opt for a firmer bed that offers even more support.
- Heavy Side Sleepers – I do not recommend this bed to side sleepers over 230 pounds. These sleepers are likely to sink too far into the mattress in this position, which can cause pressure to build at the hips and shoulders.
- Heavy Stomach Sleepers – This bed is not a match for larger stomach sleepers, whose hips may sink too far into the bed’s layers, causing the spine to be thrown out of alignment.
My Final Thoughts About the Avocado Green Mattress
Let’s finish out this review with a summary of who I recommend the Avocado Green for, as well as who might want to steer clear of it.
Who I Recommend the Avocado Green For
- Back sleepers of all weight categories should find enough support to keep their hips in line with their shoulders.
- The strong edge support and high responsiveness make this bed a good choice for sexually active couples.
- The materials and construction have received a plethora of third-party certifications for sustainability that can appeal to eco-friendly shoppers.
- Combination sleepers should be able to easily move from one position to another without feeling inhibited.
Who I Don’t Recommend the Avocado Green For
- While typical sleepers shouldn’t have to worry about overheating, very hot sleepers may want to seek a bed with more cooling technology.
- Depending on your weight, this bed may be too soft for stomach sleeping.
Avocado Green Pricing and Sizing
Most shoppers take a look at the price before checking out, and this is especially important when making a major purchase like a mattress. Although the Avocado Green isn’t the cheapest bed around, its price is fairly typical for an organic bed. The price chart below breaks down each size, and these are before discounts and coupons.

Avocado Green vs Competitors
The Avocado Green is a solid mattress, but that doesn’t mean it has no competitors. Below, I’ll quickly compare it to its primary competitor, the Birch Natural mattress
Avocado Green Mattress vs Birch Natural Mattress
Like the Avocado Green, the Birch Natural is a latex hybrid mattress that falls at a 7 out of 10 on our firmness scale. They’re both organic, bed-in-a-box mattresses, but the Birch does not include a tufted cover. Rather, it is smooth across the entire surface.
- Price: These beds cost around the same amount, with the Avocado being slightly more expensive.
- Sleeping position: Both mattresses are best for back sleepers. The Avocado is better for some side sleepers, while the Birch is better for some stomach sleepers.
- Cooling: The Birch scored higher in cooling, earning 4 stars compared to the Avocado’s 3.5 stars.
- Body weight: Both beds are supportive enough for heavy back sleepers, but we don’t recommend either to heavy side and stomach sleepers.

Our Review Process
At Sleepopolis, our team of Certified Sleep Science Coaches personally test each mattress. We start by unboxing the mattress to figure out how difficult (or easy) it is to get the mattress from the box to the bed. Then, we spend time lying on the bed in different positions, taking time to assess it on our backs, stomachs, and sides. Next, we perform our Sleepopolis tests, using specialized tools to measure qualities like motion transfer, bounce, and pressure relief. Our last step is to open up the mattress and take a look at each layer. These steps allow us to give our final verdict on the mattress.
FAQs
Are Avocado mattresses made in the United States?
Yes, Avocado mattresses are handmade in California.
Does the Avocado mattress need a box spring?
A box spring is compatible with Avocado mattresses, but we found it works better with firmer, non-yielding bed frames such as platform beds, mattress foundations, or bed slats.
Can you flip an Avocado mattress?
This bed is designed with softer, cushioning layers up top and a sturdy support foundation below, so it’s not meant to be flipped. However, Avocado recommends rotating the mattress once a month for the first six months, then once every three months.
Does Avocado offer a sleep trial?
Yes, all Avocado mattresses come with a 365-night sleep trial period.
Does Avocado offer a mattress warranty?
Yes, all Avocado mattresses come with a 25-year warranty.
