Sustainability Awards Eco Friendly

1. HEALTHY SLEEPING

INDOOR AIR CAN BE 5X MORE POLLUTED THAN OUTSIDE AIR

— U.S. Environmental Protection Agency

Study after study shows that the chemically treated materials commonly used in our manufacturing and building processes negatively impact human health. By releasing toxic chemicals, these materials contaminate air, water, food supplies, and the environment through the processes of volatilization (off-gassing), abrasion, leaching, and oxidation.

Who’s at risk? We all are, especially since we spend 90% of our time indoors working, playing, learning, and sleeping — and one-third of that time in bed. But closed environments are not always the healthiest. Science has shown that this can be harmful to both our health and our well-being.

2. CERTIFIED ORGANIC

GOTS CERTIFIED

Our organic mattresses, pillows, and bedding are GOTS-certified organic certified products (CU863637), a standard that is endorsed by the USDA's National Organic Program. These certifications cover the source materials, factory and products, and are listed in the GOTS Public Database. All certification logos include the required license number.

GOTS

ORGANIC LATEX

Instead of polyurethane foam, we make our GOLS-certified organic latex (863637) from natural latex sap harvested from rubber trees in India and Guatemala. The facilities operate under the USDA's National Organic Program, and the trees are grown without herbicides and pesticides. The finished latex foam consists of 95% or more organic material.

ORGANIC WOOL

We use GOTS-certified organic wool, with public certifications, harvested and processed from a collective in India. Wool is a natural and renewable resource. It’s extremely breathable, odor resistant, fire resistant, and boasts exceptional thermoregulation properties (keeping you warm in the winter and cool in the summer). Organic standards include humane treatment, animal healthcare, and certified organic feed and pastures.

VEGAN OPTIONS

For our vegan friends, we also proudly make a vegan certified hybrid mattress, which uses USDA certified organic cotton fiber, farmed using National Organic Program (NOP) farming standards, instead of organic wool. Both mattresses are certified by Vegan Action® to not contain animal products and are PETA-Approved Vegan products.

ORGANIC COTTON

Conventional cotton is often grown with pesticides. So we use GOTS-certified organic cotton — with trusted public certifications. Our cotton is responsibly grown in India to GOTS-certified organic standards. Our organic cotton delivers a luxurious finish, breathes easily, and wicks away moisture — making it ideal for great sleep.

3. GREENGUARD GOLD CERTIFIED

Every one of our mattresses, toppers, mattress pad protectors, and pillows have achieved the GREENGUARD Gold certified by UL Environment. They are listed in their public SPOT catalog. This certification applies to the finished product.

“Avocado Green Mattress is an eco-friendly brand that creates uber-comfy mattresses with organic materials — including organic latex, wool, and cotton — as opposed to synthetic materials and potentially harmful chemicals.”

4. SAFETY IS OUR PRIORITY

NO FLAME RETARDANTS

There are no flame retardants in our Avocado Green Mattress or Avocado Latex Mattress. No fiberglass is used So, how do we meet federal safety standards? We use GOTS-certified organic wool, which is naturally flame-resistant.

NEEDLE TUFTED
BY HAND

Avocado mattresses feature our distinctive, needle-tufted rosettes made from soft, white organic wool — a hallmark of quality. We pull cotton ribbons through every layer of the mattress in up to 32 locations, held in place by the rosettes. Needle-tufting is a time-honored technique dating back to the 17th century. Because of hand tufting, no chemical adhesives are used to bind the layers together, which also radically improves durability.

NO POLYESTER COVERS

Many mattress covers rely heavily on polyester, which does not stretch, does not absorb sweat, does not breathe — and is often treated with chemicals during production. Avocado uses GOTS-certified organic cotton ticking on the top, sides, gussets, and the beautiful herringbone-patterned canvas base.

MADE SAFE CERTIFIED

Our mattresses and toppers are certified to MADE SAFE® standards. Made Safe screens for 6,500 ingredients known or suspected to harm human health, animals, aquatic life, or ecosystems.

STANDARD 100
by OEKO-TEX

Our organic-certified latex, wool, and cotton have also received STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX®: Class 1 certifications (19.0.79546, 19.HIN.68466 & 15.HIN.75800, Hohenstein HTTI). This is their most stringent product class. It requires annual lab testing to ensure no harmful substances are present according to their standards, including banned substances, toxic chemicals, pesticides, and dyes.

$OEKO-TEX Standard 100 Avocado Latex Cotton Wool Mattress$

“Made with organic Dunlop latex, organic wool, and organic cotton, this GOTS-certified, flame retardant-free mattress checks all the boxes for a healthier sleep with no off-gassing. The natural and organic materials also wick away moisture and allow for better airflow than polyurethane-based foams, making for a cooler night’s sleep.”

5. RATED #1 FOR BACK SUPPORT

FIRM SUPPORT, HEALTHY BACK

A hybrid mattress is only as good as its innerspring support system. At Avocado, we use a robust ergonomic support system that enables our mattress to effortlessly contour to your body's natural curves and offer pressure-point relief and improved weight distribution — even when used on an adjustable base.

Best Mattress for Back Pain ACA Endorsed

1,459 INDIVIDUALLY WRAPPED COILS

Our innerspring unit features up to 1,459 individually wrapped springs made from recycled steel, each wrapped in food-grade polypropylene for durability. These tempered steel coils are arranged in various sizes, gauges, and turns and can float independently to maintain back alignment and support your body’s natural curves. The mix of zones and coil types delivers a transformative sleep experience — even on an adjustable base.

HYBRID DESIGN,
IDEAL SUPPORT

Hybrid mattresses are the most popular, supportive, and durable mattress designs. The Avocado Green, Luxury, and Vegan Mattresses are true hybrids. They combine certified organic buoyant cushioning layers with the best-in-class fabric-encased innersprings. That's why the American Chiropractic Association endorses Avocado.

“Most of these materials are renewable. The whole mattress is GREENGUARD Gold Certified by UL Environment while the company is an active member of 1% for the Planet®, giving back revenues to support environmental nonprofits. All of which is to say, they’re really in to being green.”

6. PROVEN DURABILITY

LAB TESTED,
PUBLISHED RESULTS

At Leggett & Platt's International Testing Center, they use specialized equipment to measure a mattress's durability and performance over time. Their ASTM-certified tests — which are similar to those used by Consumer Reports® — provide results rich with data. Yes, we publish everything. Modesty aside, they’re impressive. Example: An Avocado mattress only loses 1 percent of its height after 10 years of hard usage.

UP TO 25-YEAR
LIMITED WARRANTY

Avocado Mattresses are backed by one of the industry's best warranties — up to 25 years! And our mattresses and toppers have earned the Good Housekeeping Seal.

“Honesty defines this company that believes natural materials are key to restful sleep and long-term health. The passionate team behind Avocado believes it’s important to drive change by opting for eco-friendly products that ultimately help protect the environment and promote a greener and more sustainable world.” — Green Building & Design

7. CRAFTSMANSHIP

ORGANIC CERTIFIED FACTORY

Of the hundreds of mattress brands in the United States, only a few brands operate GOTS-certified organic production facilities. Our Avocado factory in Los Angeles is one of these select few, meeting the rigorous standards, verified by Control Union®, to manufacture certified organic certified products.

gots factory

ASSEMBLED IN CALIFORNIA

We make our own mattresses, in a factory that we own in Los Angeles, which was established in 1987, using domestic and imported materials. Environmental laws and labor standards are incredibly high here. Our valued team members are paid living wages and provided comprehensive benefits, including family healthcare and three weeks of paid vacation.

QUALITY DETAILS

Most direct-to-consumer mattress brands focus on what’s fast and inexpensive. While others go low on quality, we go high. We use double-stitched organic cotton tape edges, reinforced handles that lie flat on both sides, organic herringbone canvas on the base (even though you’ll rarely see it), and needle tufting done the hard way, by hand, to bind it all together. Why? Because quality matters.
