WHAT IS AN ORGANIC MATTRESS?
An organic mattress is made with certified organic materials, like natural latex, wool, and cotton. Many mattresses contain toxic, environmentally harmful materials. Certified organic mattresses are validated by an independent body to only include materials verified to always be ethically sourced and safe for consumers and the environment.
WHAT IS AN ORGANIC MATTRESS MADE OF?
Organic mattresses are typically made with certified organic latex, wool, and cotton. These layers offer peak comfort, support, and breathability. An Avocado organic mattress is a hybrid mattress, so it also includes a supportive innerspring unit made with recycled steel.
WHAT IS AN ORGANIC LATEX MATTRESS?
Organic latex comes from the rubber tree (Hevea Brasiliensis). The latex sap is a natural, renewable material that creates foam cores known for their durability, comfort, breathability, elasticity, and support. Alternatively, some companies use cheap, man-made synthetic latex or memory foam, which can harm human and environmental health.
WHY CHOOSE AN ORGANIC MATTRESS?
Organic mattresses can be safer, more durable, breathable, and supportive than mattresses made with synthetic materials, like some memory foam. Those can contain toxic chemicals, which can off-gas and cause respiratory damage.
ARE ORGANIC MATTRESSES WORTH IT?
Organic mattresses last longer than those made with synthetic materials, which tend to sag and lose their shape after a few years. In addition to being more durable, organic materials are also more breathable and comfortable, so you’ll sleep better.
ARE MATTRESSES REALLY TOXIC?
According to the EPA, the polyurethane foam found in some non-organic mattresses is a source of volatile organic compound emissions (VOCs). That material is made from ingredients derived from fossil fuels, so it’s also highly combustible. As a result, it’s often treated with flame retardants, which are, in turn, associated with serious health and environmental impacts.
WHAT ARE THE LEAST TOXIC MATTRESSES?
Avocado mattresses are OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 certified, meet MADE SAFE standards, are GREENGUARD Gold certified for low emissions, and have received Formaldehyde-Free Claim Verification by the UL Environment. This means they meet the standards for some of the world’s most rigorous third-party standards.
HOW DO YOU BUY AN ORGANIC MATTRESS?
Before buying an organic mattress, be sure the entire product is certified. Some companies have misleading claims and only have a single organic material within. Be sure the product is also certified by a legitimate independent body. The Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) offers the highest validation of social and environmental responsibility.
ARE THERE ORGANIC MATTRESSES WITHOUT WOOL?
Yes. Most organic mattresses include wool, which acts as a natural comfort layer and fire-retardant, while many mattress companies use toxic, dangerous materials. But for those who prefer an organic mattress without wool, the Avocado Vegan Mattress is a great option. It uses charcoal-infused latex. The natural graphite we add to the latex acts as a naturally derived fire retardant barrier and exceeds all U.S. standards for flammability.
ARE THERE ORGANIC MATTRESSES FOR BABIES?

Avocado also makes a low profile Eco Organic Kids Mattress that is perfect for those graduating from the crib.
CAN AN ORGANIC MATTRESS PAIR WITH AN ADJUSTABLE BASE?
An Avocado organic mattress will work with most adjustable bases. In fact, it’s the perfect complement to the luxurious Eco Pro Adjustable Base. The elegant frame includes a two-piece design that places the adjustable bed inside an elegantly upholstered frame with GOTS organic-certified cotton and wool atop FSC-certified wooden legs.
ARE THERE ORGANIC MATTRESS-IN-A-BOX BRANDS?
Yes, Avocado mattresses are all GOTS certified organic and ship via FedEx in a medium-sized box, typically in 2-3 days.
