Best Sleep Society· Editor of Best Sleep Society
The Silk & Snow Organic and the Avocado Green are two of the best-known certified organic mattresses sold in Canada. Both are latex hybrids made with GOLS-certified organic latex, organic cotton and organic wool over pocketed coils, and both come with a 365-night sleep trial. We tested both side by side for cooling, pressure relief, motion transfer, edge support and more to see which one is worth your money.
The Silk & Snow Organic came out on top, winning all seven of our tests, and it costs less than half as much as the Avocado Green. The Avocado's biggest advantages are its 25-year warranty and its sustainability credentials.

Construction
Silk & Snow OrganicAvocado GreenLayer 1
Silk & Snow Organic
GOTS Certified Organic Cotton Cover
A soft cover made from GOTS-certified organic cotton, free from pesticides, bleaches and harsh chemicals.
Avocado Green
Organic Cotton Quilted Cover
A quilted cover made from GOTS-certified organic cotton. It's soft and breathable, with no polyurethane foam or synthetic treatments.
Layer 2
Silk & Snow Organic
1" Organic Wool Quilt Layer
GOTS-certified organic wool that acts as a natural fire barrier, so no chemical flame retardants are needed. It also helps wick away moisture.
Avocado Green
3.75" Dunlop Latex
Two layers of Dunlop latex that add cushioning above the coils. In our testing it didn't relieve pressure as well as we expected for the price, scoring 6.5/10.
Layer 3
Silk & Snow Organic
0.8" Quilted Latex Layer
A GOLS-certified organic latex comfort layer that adds gentle contouring at the sleep surface.
Avocado Green
8" Pocket Coils
Individually wrapped coils that give the mattress its height and bounce. They dampen some movement, but we noticed significant motion across the bed in our testing.
Layer 4
Silk & Snow Organic
1.5" Dunlop Latex Layer
Durable Dunlop latex that adds bounce and pressure relief. Latex responds quickly as you move, which is why the Organic scored a perfect 10/10 for bounce and response.
Avocado Green
0.75" Organic Dunlop Latex
A thin layer of GOLS-certified organic latex. Dunlop latex is denser and firmer than Talalay latex, adding support and durability.
Layer 5
Silk & Snow Organic
Zoned Support
Softer coils at the head and foot and firmer coils in the middle third, which keep the hips from sinking and your spine aligned.
Layer 6
Silk & Snow Organic
8" Pocket Coil Base
Dense pocketed coils made from 100% Canadian steel. They respond to your body on their own and limit motion transfer.
Layer 7
Silk & Snow Organic
Firm Edge Support with Handles
An extra-firm perimeter that stops the edges from flattening when you sit on them, plus handles for moving the mattress.
Firmness Options
The Silk & Snow Organic comes in three firmness levels: Plush, Medium-Firm and Firm. The Avocado Green comes in Medium and Firm in Canada (its plush version is only sold in the US). We rated the Silk & Snow Organic Medium-Firm at 7/10 on our firmness scale and the Avocado Medium at 5.5/10, so the Avocado feels noticeably softer.
Having options matters because firmness is personal. Side sleepers usually need a softer surface that lets the shoulders and hips sink in, back sleepers do best with balanced support, and stomach sleepers and heavier bodies need a firmer surface that keeps the hips from sagging. The right feel keeps your spine aligned and relieves pressure; the wrong one can leave you sore. Both brands give you a choice, but only Silk & Snow offers a plush option in Canada.

Which Mattress Should You Choose?

It won all seven of our tests, with perfect 10/10 scores for bounce and response, 9/10 for pressure relief (compared with 6.5/10 for the Avocado) and 9/10 for motion isolation. Its zoned coils keep your spine aligned, and it comes in three firmness levels.

For most sleepers, the Silk & Snow Organic is the better value.
