Avocado Mattress Review

The Avocado Green Mattress is available in two firmness options: medium and firm. We rated the medium at 5.5/10 and the firm at 6.5/10 on our firmness scale — both softer than their descriptions imply. Even the firm mattress version did not offer the same medium firm feel we observed in comparable organic mattresses such as the Silk & Snow Organic Mattress, which scores 7/10.

The pillow top model — the Avocado luxury organic mattress — skews even softer, adding a pillow top quilted layer that makes the Avocado green more suitable for side sleepers who prefer a softer mattress experience. The standard Avocado mattress without the pillow top is the more supportive option, but even this version feels softer than most mattresses positioned as medium firm in the organic mattresses market. Unless you're a side sleeper or lightweight sleeper, you may find this Avocado mattress too soft for your sleeping positions needs.

The Avocado Green Mattress does not have any specific cooling properties and is not considered a cooling natural mattress. There are no dedicated design elements — no GOLS certified organic gel infusion, no ventilated transition foam, no phase-change materials — to enhance airflow through the entire mattress beyond the natural breathability of the organic dunlop latex and certified organic wool natural wool fiber layer.

As a result, the surface temperature of the Avocado green was considerably higher than most mattresses we've tested. This may cause overheating for hot sleepers — and if you tend to sleep cool as a priority, the Avocado green mattress will likely disappoint. The GOTS certified organic wool does provide passive temperature regulation as a natural wool fiber layer, but this is insufficient for dedicated hot sleeper needs, especially compared to the active cooling systems in the Silk & Snow Organic Mattress or Hush Graph-Iced.

The Avocado Green Mattress was not as comfortable as expected for a luxury organic mattress at nearly $3,999 CAD for a queen. The natural latex and pocketed coils weren't as plush — or as firm, for that matter — as our reviewers have experienced with other organic mattresses. The pressure relief was lacking across most sleeping positions, and the overall relaxation the Avocado green provided fell short of what the price implies.

The dunlop latex foam felt squishy rather than supportively responsive — a quality difference that our certified sleep science coach reviewers noted consistently. While the GOLS certified organic latex is genuinely high quality as a raw organic material, the thin 1″ latex layer does not provide the sustained pressure relief that combination sleepers, back and stomach sleepers, or light sleepers sharing a bed typically need from a luxury organic mattress investment.

The Avocado Green Mattress did not impress in its motion transfer management. We noticed significant movement across the entire mattress as we tested — potentially causing light sleepers who share their bed to experience sleep disturbances. For a latex hybrid mattress at this price point, the motion transfer performance was below expectations.

The pocketed coils do provide some motion transfer dampening — a structural advantage over pure memory foam or polyurethane foams-based designs — but the organic dunlop latex comfort layer does not add the additional motion transfer absorption layer found in better-engineered latex hybrids. Light sleepers who share a bed will likely find the Avocado green mattress motion performance unsatisfactory compared to organic mattresses alternatives like the Silk & Snow Organic.

When sitting down on the Avocado mattress, we noticed sinking further into the surface than on other organic mattresses or latex hybrid mattress competitors at this price. The Avocado green did relatively well in adapting to body movements — the dunlop latex foam provides a naturally responsive base — but the entire mattress took significantly longer to recover from movements than comparable organic latex hybrid mattress designs.

This slow recovery creates the “stuck” sensation that frustrates combination sleepers and active sleeping positions types. The thin natural latex layer and uniform pocketed coils don't provide the adaptive rebound found in better-engineered latex hybrids, making the Avocado green mattress a particularly poor choice for combination sleepers who shift sleeping positions frequently through the night.

The Avocado Green edge support is one of the better aspects of this natural mattress. The Avocado green edge support held up reasonably well during testing — we did not experience significant slipping or falling off the edges while sitting or lying closer to the perimeter. The pocketed coils running to the perimeter of the entire mattress contribute to this structural stability at the edges.

That said, Avocado green edge support is the one meaningful performance highlight in an otherwise underwhelming Avocado green mattress review. It is not enough on its own to justify the price premium over better-performing organic mattresses alternatives.

The Avocado green's use of organic dunlop latex and certified organic wool means the new mattress has a natural, earthy scent rather than the chemical off-gassing odour associated with polyurethane foams — a meaningful advantage for indoor air quality and those sensitive to polyurethane foams-based smells. This is one of the few genuine first-impression advantages of the Avocado mattress over conventional memory foam or polyurethane foams-based latex hybrids.

The Avocado Green Mattress scores a solid 8 out of 10 for bounce, a result that fits its hybrid construction. The mattress pairs GOLS-certified organic latex comfort layers with a base of more than 1,000 individually wrapped pocketed coils, and both of those materials are known for returning energy well rather than absorbing it the way memory foam does. That combination gives the mattress a noticeably responsive, springy feel, making it easier to move around on or shift between sleeping positions compared to an all-foam mattress. It doesn't quite reach the very top of the bounce spectrum the way some latex-and-coil hybrids do, but it's a strong, above-average result that should suit most sleepers looking for a lively, “on top of” feel rather than a slow-sinking one.
