Avocado Luxury Organic Mattress Review: Our Testers Say This Nontoxic Mattress Is So Comfortable
Avocado mattresses have risen in popularity along with demand for sustainable, nontoxic materials, and we put the brand's high-end Avocado Luxury Organic Mattress to the test to determine whether it was worth the $4,800-plus price tag. The short answer? Yes, if you appreciate plush, marshmallowy comfort, and if its slew of safety certifications helps you sleep better at night. Our 13-person testing panel praised the Avocado Luxury Organic Mattress for its cloud-like comfort. ILLUSTRATION: FORBES / PHOTO: RETAILER Avocado is our favorite organic mattress brand because it touts more eco-friendly certifications than most of its competitors while also offering a range of firmness profiles to accommodate different sleepers. The Luxury Organic bed comes in three firmness levels—standard, plush and ultra plush—and our 13-person testing panel tried out the plush version of this bed. It's also worth noting that the softer models incur an upcharge; for a queen size, the plush version costs $800 more and the ultra plush costs $2,000 more than the standard bed. Forbes Vetted Forbes Vetted ratings are based on thorough evaluations by our editorial team to help you choose the best products with confidence. Type: Hybrid | Brand firmness rating: Ultra plush (3), plush (5) or medium (6) | Height: 13, 14 or 15 inches | Shipping: In-home delivery starting at $249 | Trial: 365 nights | Warranty: 25 years Best for: People with allergies Those who prioritize nontoxic materials and sustainability Side, back and combination sleepers Skip if: You prefer a firm mattress, such as stomach sleepers and those over 250 pounds You want top-notch motion isolation and edge support You don't want to spend extra on plush and ultra-plush versions Overall, our testing panel praised the plush model of the Luxury Organic bed for its ultra-soft and cradling feel. Based on this feedback, we named it the best organic option in our guide to the best luxury mattresses. 'This feels incredible to side sleep on,' says Forbes Vetted senior mattress and sleep editor Bridget Chapman, a dedicated side sleeper. 'It's like a giant fluffy cloud that envelops you in the best way.' Another tester adds, 'All of my pressure points sink in and are cradled in comfort. This is a top upgrade pick for side sleepers who want a statement bed that's the centerpiece of their bedroom.' We also found it's optimal for most back sleepers, but those over 250 pounds or with back pain should consider a firmer bed like the PlushBeds Royal Bliss or the Beautyrest Black. The Avocado Luxury Organic comes in three firmness levels—medium, plush and ultra plush—although the softer models come at an additional cost and have thick pillow tops. For every model, the brand sprinkles in a few touches to make your sleeping experience more luxurious, including over a dozen body-hugging comfort layers made from organic and natural latex, wool, silk, hemp and cotton. 'This definitely feels luxurious, particularly given its height and how plush this mattress is,' says one of our testers. 'It seems similar to what you would expect in a hotel mattress, and overall, I'm impressed.' Lastly, the mattress holds high 'green' standards and has earned certifications from Global Organic Latex Standard (GOLS), Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS), Greenguard Gold, Oeko-Tex and the Rainforest Alliance, to name a few. For anyone who prioritizes both comfort and nontoxic materials, the Avocado Luxury Organic Mattress is well worth the investment (especially considering how much time you'll be spending in it). As a final tip, if you opt for the Ultra Plush model, keep in mind that its 15-inch height requires you to use deep-pocket sheets .

The Best Organic Mattresses—All Certified, All Actually Tested
WIRED TIRED Very comfortable, medium firm with good support for back sleepers First mattress from Coyuchi, options are limited Excellent organic transparency, made in the USA Undyed, which is great for anyone bothered by industrial dyes. Organic bedding brand Coyuchi recently launched its own organic mattress, combining cotton, wool, and Dunlop latex atop individually wrapped coils. While Coyuchi's linen sheets are excellent, I was a little nervous to try the company's first mattress effort. Bedding is not a mattress, after all, and expertise does not always transfer across endeavors. In this case, though, it did. Coyuchi's organic Natural REM Mattress is wonderfully firm without being too firm and perfect for those of us who lack a sleeping style and tend to sleep every which way—side, back, stomach. I was never uncomfortable. The design starts with encased coils on a wool pad and then, like a Midwestern dip, layers in smaller coils, latex, and then wool, and tops it off with an organic cotton cover. There's surprisingly good edge support considering the distance between the coils and the top, and the mattress provides good motion isolation as well. Coyuchi says the Natural REM can be used with or without a box spring. I tested it for a few months on a box spring and then spent a week with it just on the floor and did not notice a difference. At 11 inches deep, there's room for a topper, though I did not feel the need. The cotton and wool layers are GOTS-certified organic, while the Dunlop latex carries the GOLS certification. The material is undyed, which is great for anyone bothered by industrial dyes. As with most of these organic options, the Coyuchi is made without chemicals, foam, or glues. Coyuchi's Natural REM organic mattress is made to order in the United States and comes with a 100-night trial, which means you can get a full refund if it doesn't work for you. —Scott Gilbertson The price ranges from $1,400 for a twin to $2,400 for a California king.

I care a lot more about what they're sleeping on than what I'm sleeping on. Still, as much as I love the Avocado Green mattress, it's not cheap. For my kids, I bought the more affordable Kiwi Mattress by My Green Mattress. The Kiwi is similar to our top pick Avocado. It's a hybrid model with pocketed springs and natural materials: certified organic cotton, wool, and latex. It's also something of a rarity; organic twin mattresses are somewhat difficult to find. One nice twist that makes the Kiwi appealing for kids is the two-sided option. It costs a little more upfront but being able to flip it over extends its life, which is handy if your kids think beds are actually trampolines in disguise. The Kiwi is definitely a firmer style, but I think it's comfortable, and my children loved it when they were younger. —Scott Gilbertson The price ranges from $775 for a twin to $1,699 for a California king, although the mattresses are often discounted.
