Fantastic video. Love this brand. The hand tufting is beautiful and you did an excellent job at showing all features of the Avocado Mattress. I'm shopping for a natural green mattress and came across this video and I have fallen in love with Avocado! I think you have one of the most clean an informative videos that highlights the Avocado, and your video really helped me make my decision. I love the health benefits of avocado's in general and now I get to sleep on one :)
I also always use a quality cotton mattress cover below sheets. It’s just so hard to decide, but you definitely make it easier even though I wish I could see these in person. However, I would like to know the total weight of these since this makes changing the sheets a major hassle. Thanks so much!
My father just had one delivered to his house. It came compressed in a box. As an engineer I'm trying to figure out how they can compress a coil spring mattress without ruining it?
Great video, thank you very much for making it. Question to you or anyone who has an avocado, with the addition of the pillow top adding an extra 2 inches of latex - do you have trouble properly getting a fitted sheet around the whole mattress?
No mention of of the densities of Dunlop used, ie D65? This is important info for someone wanting to build a latex mattress, also ive heard Avocado has changed their firmness/densities. Perhaps an updated video is in order?
another reason they use the tufting instead of glue because the glue is toxic (for all natural mattress). To properly show the support of the coil zones, shouldn't you lay on the mattress head to toe, not diagonally?
How resistant is it when it comes to sinking in permanently over time? Cause I love the green features but having an indent in my mattress would be a nightmare, which is why i'm considering buy a new one. I sleep in all positions and sleeping on my stomach with an indent on the mattress gives me back pain .
This will hold up extremely well. Its upper heavy duty and the button tufting helps too. In addition latex foam is pretty much the most durable foam you can buy. You shouldn't have issues with this mattress in that area. Here to help so ask away. Thanks!
Hi Ross, trying to decide between the pillowtop and the standard avocado. I have a 10 inch fusion in my low back and have lower back pain in my lowest part of my vertebrae. I sleep on my stomach/side (in between) and side a lot. Which would you recommend? I am 5'7 140 lbs. Thank you!
How does this mattress compare to the Big Fig in terms of firmness? I have a Big Fig now and it is a little to firm for me and is causing me shoulder pain as I am a side sleeper.
Hello, I just tried out the Brentwood Oceano & I thought I would like it. But unfortunately I saw myself turning too much at night & having lower back pain I woke up feeling worse. I'm not knocking the Oceano, it just isn't for me. Honestly, its my first time sleeping on a soft plush mattress. I have slept on firmer mattresses before & didn't toss & turn much at night. I just thought I'd give this type of mattress a try I guess I was wrong thinking I would like it. So, my question is....will this Avocado model be firmer than the Oceano or will it also have that heavy sink feeling? Also, out of Ojai, Avocado & Saatva, which is firmer without the sink feeling and out of those 3 which would you recommend for stomach and side sleepers? Ty :D
I didn't really feel them. Its like a soft yarn. You could if you are very sensitive to the top of the mattress but I also use a mattress protector which covers them up some too. They are similar builds. The brentwood I thought was a little softer since one of the layers of latex is grooved, it has a little more give. Now when I tried the avocado it was white glove delivered, now its rolled so it might feel al little different now that its rolled. It can soften them up a hair after being rolled.
Hi Tee, thank you! SO I have not tried the Plushbed yet but its on the list. I can tell you the Avocado is constructed like a tank and built very well. I don't think you would be displeased unless you didn't like the firmness. Thanks for watching and let me know if you have specific questions regarding anything.
I’ve got a tricky stairway to navigate on the way up to my bedroom. The only way to get a king up there is rolled up in a box. Any tips for how to get it back downstairs if I want to return it?
Joshua Dufford I returned my Avocado Green mattress. It would not be very easy to compress it at all. Once out of the box, it’s a solid thick mattress with sturdy coils that doesn’t bend easily.
Really like your reviews. We've been pouring over mattresses to replace a 2 1/2 year-old Brentwood Home mattress that utterly failed in the last year (foam broke down slowly and just became horrible to sleep on). We keep coming back to the Avocado but are torn between the pillow-top or non. I think we're leaning toward the non and then possibly just adding a topper to it down the road if we decide it's not quite cushy enough. Good plan?? Thanks!
I'm a bit worried about how well this one will age given this all natural light-color covers? How would you describe that outside fabric feel between the Avocado w/ PT vs BH Cedar? Also as a 200lb side-sleeper, which other brand/model that is all-natural (pref. organic) should I also consider with hybrid Inner-coil foam construction. Nest, Staava, DreamCloud etc.
Hi there, I wouldn't worry about the fabric much honestly. I recommend using a mattress protector and then you'll also use sheets. The fabrics on either are durable. Also both are very durable. The coil units and latex is one of the most durable foams. Those two and Dreamcloud are also hand tufted which is a higher end feature that helps with longevity and prevents bunching or shifting of layers. Nest and Saatva are also quality brands.
Hi! I'm in search for a new mattress and have NO idea what to get. My boyfriend has sleep apnea and back/ shoulder pain. He's quite muscular and is currently recovering from (pancreatic) surgery. He wakes up exhausted with muscle aches, most likely caused by the sleep apnea. Our current mattress is TOO firm (Bob's Posture Pedic). To top things off, I'm also pregnant so I will need a bit of comfort for myself however I am able to adjust to most mattresses. I looked into Avocado Mattress and the Sleep Number. Preferably I would like to pay under 1,500$ USD but it doesn't seem like it will happen if I'm looking for the best for the boyfriend. What do you think?
I hate the ILE sleep number bed. It's an air mattress! Returning it and planning on getting an Avocado with topper. I'm a married 42 year old female, 5'4" and 172 lbs, with sleep apnea, fibromyalgia, and a ruptured neck disc. My husband is athletic, 6'"1 and 180 lbs. He's fine with the sleep number but you know what they say, happy wife, happy life. haha. Good luck on your mattress decision.
Ray Ramirez hi ray, so I have seen the saatva beds and carry beds almost identical in my store. But unfortunately I have not slept on one yet. Overall I would put my money in Avocado lasting longer with more latex, button tufting etc. There aerated latex sleeps cool as well and it's an all natural mattress.
Jean sorry for the late response. Its hard to compare the two directly, they are very different except that they both use a pocketed coil system. Personally I would be happy on either. Do you have specific questions on either?
elficefire order you a sturdy/firm pocketed coil latex mattress from Amazon (I ordered the Sunrising Bed). Order a 3 inch all natural latex mattress topper from Amazon (I ordered the one from Sleep on Latex). Throw the latex mattress topper on top of your pocketed coil mattress, add your bed sheets. You’re good to go!!! You just made yourself a $2000-$3000 mattress for less then $1000 (King size). You’ll love it. Thank me later. *add another layer of latex if you need more fluff. Only will cost you another $100-$200. Still better than $3000 *free returns on Amazon. Good luck!
Dennis Wallace hi Dennis. Most are donated or given to friends/family. I've had a few that don't come in a box that have been shipped back. Thanks for watching.
HI there! Well since starting the reviews I am on something different all the time. But before that I slept on mattresses from my store. The last a 12" gel infused memory foam king set from Restonic.
this one looks great, do you know how many coils it has ? and does a 3 zone coil mean that it has more give in head and feet area and less from shoulder to hip area?
Exactly on the zones, you'll have increased support where most of the body weight is. The number of coils in each mattress is as follows: Twin, 681 | Twin XL, 692 | Full, 947 | Full XL 960 | Queen, 1068 | King, 1362 | Cal. King, 1303 Thanks!!!!
It is! Usually anything over 800 is pretty good. So over 1000 and not using a micro coils is really good. Some brands have a micro coil unit as well and then they can say the have 2-3000 coils but the micro coils are not the same as a support coil so I don't really like that especially when they are not breaking it down and saying most of them are micro coils. Thanks for watching Jon
Ross, Purple Mattress didn't work out for me and I'm considering Wink Bed and Avocado. I'm pretty torn between and am sure if they Avocado is better quality to justify the price. Wink uses Micro Coils and supports coils whereas Avocado uses longer support coils. Which one will hold their tension better over time? I'm 260 and mostly concerned about dips and losing straight alignment while sleeping.
Hey Kevin, Both are built very well and use the quantum coil. Both hand tufted as well. This is more comparable though to the Brentwood Cedar since that also uses latex. The oceano has a bit more of a memory foam feel. I can elaborate if you want to email me info@mattressinsiders.com Thanks!
Oscar Perez ho oscar! Both are very well built. The avocado 🥑 will be provide a more natural build. I feel like they are similar with quality but the avocado will be a tad firmer and offers the natural components. How do you usually sleep?
Ben Boyerinas it will def bend some but not it you were looking to sit straight up. If you want to elevate the head a little or feet it will be fine. I've experimented with many of my innersprings at my store.
Thanks for the response. Yeah, I want to use the base to raise the head up a bit to deal with acid reflux issues. So it sounds like this should work then? And thanks for the thorough reviews!
Hi Sally, I recommend always using a mattress protector. Almost any company will not warranty the mattress with stains of any kind, sweat, water, pee etc. That's why most stores try to sell you a protector too. It'll help keep the mattress fresh and protect your warranty.
Sorry for the delay I was out of the office for the last week. It will sort of depend on if you prefer an all foam feel or not. With latex its not that drastic of a different feel though since latex is fairly bouncy to begin with. I tend to like the hybrid latex beds better than all foam just because most of the all foam solid latex beds are only 10" thick. They don't bottom out its just that my headboard looks better with a thicker mattress.
hello i purchased this mattress, however the legal tag on the bed doesn't match what they have put up on their website. Can you please tell me what percentages are listed on the legal tag of your mattress? i've reached out to the company and they have been giving me dodgy answers.
Hi there Sai - I believe as per our discussion everything has been clarified here :) We noticed there was a 1% change on our legal tag which you brought to our attention - now 82% latex 15% wool - given a small adjustment that was made to our latex density, based on customer feedback to date. We did not realize at first that the % was adjusted as a result, and it took us a day or so to research and resolve this. We are updating the tags posted on our website accordingly to reflect the adjustment. We appreciate you pointing this out to us and thank you again for your business. We hope you love the mattress for many years to come, and of course if you have any followup questions please feel free to reach out any time!

My father just had one delivered to his house. It came compressed in a box. As an engineer I'm trying to figure out how they can compress a coil spring mattress without ruining it?
Can you compare it to the spindle and the nest latex hybrid for me please? I have narrowed my choice to these three mattresses.
Great video, thank you very much for making it. Question to you or anyone who has an avocado, with the addition of the pillow top adding an extra 2 inches of latex - do you have trouble properly getting a fitted sheet around the whole mattress?
Christina Wong I had the pillow top addition on my mattress and no problems with sheets.
Very helpful. Thank you for the video.
Quick question. Since you've reviewed both, for two big sleepers, would you suggest Avocado, Big Fig, or something else entirely.
I would like to know this also.
No mention of of the densities of Dunlop used, ie D65? This is important info for someone wanting to build a latex mattress, also ive heard Avocado has changed their firmness/densities. Perhaps an updated video is in order?
I received our avocado green a month ago. I am a little bit disappointed it’s not firm for me, too soft for me
another reason they use the tufting instead of glue because the glue is toxic (for all natural mattress). To properly show the support of the coil zones, shouldn't you lay on the mattress head to toe, not diagonally?
How resistant is it when it comes to sinking in permanently over time?

Two Questions:
1st: Can you feel the buttons when sleeping on it?
2nd: How does this compare to the Brentwood Home Cedar Mattress?
I didn't really feel them. Its like a soft yarn. You could if you are very sensitive to the top of the mattress but I also use a mattress protector which covers them up some too.
They are similar builds. The brentwood I thought was a little softer since one of the layers of latex is grooved, it has a little more give. Now when I tried the avocado it was white glove delivered, now its rolled so it might feel al little different now that its rolled. It can soften them up a hair after being rolled.
Thanks for the great detailed review. I'm considering avocado (hybrid) vs plushbed (all latex). Any thoughts?
Hi Tee, thank you! SO I have not tried the Plushbed yet but its on the list. I can tell you the Avocado is constructed like a tank and built very well. I don't think you would be displeased unless you didn't like the firmness. Thanks for watching and let me know if you have specific questions regarding anything.

Why didn't you pressure map this bed?
Mattress Insiders, how would you compare Avocado to Saatva. I have read good reviews for both. Also which of these two sleeps cooler.
Ray Ramirez hi ray, so I have seen the saatva beds and carry beds almost identical in my store. But unfortunately I have not slept on one yet. Overall I would put my money in Avocado lasting longer with more latex, button tufting etc. There aerated latex sleeps cool as well and it's an all natural mattress.
I’ve slept on both Avocado and Saatva. The most comfortable one was Saatva, luxury firm.
Do you personally like this more than the Nest Bedding Alexander hybrid?
Jean sorry for the late response. Its hard to compare the two directly, they are very different except that they both use a pocketed coil system. Personally I would be happy on either. Do you have specific questions on either?
Favorite bed in 2018?
I just ordered a vegan 😁
Hi, do you know of any other coil mattresses that are natural/organic?
elficefire order you a sturdy/firm pocketed coil latex mattress from Amazon (I ordered the Sunrising Bed). Order a 3 inch all natural latex mattress topper from Amazon (I ordered the one from Sleep on Latex). Throw the latex mattress topper on top of your pocketed coil mattress, add your bed sheets.

*add another layer of latex if you need more fluff. Only will cost you another $100-$200. Still better than $3000
*free returns on Amazon.
Good luck!
What do you do with all the mattresses you review?
Dennis Wallace hi Dennis. Most are donated or given to friends/family. I've had a few that don't come in a box that have been shipped back. Thanks for watching.
Hi, what type/brand of mattress do you personally sleep on?
HI there! Well since starting the reviews I am on something different all the time. But before that I slept on mattresses from my store. The last a 12" gel infused memory foam king set from Restonic.

Mattress Insiders that's a good amount of coils, great review thanks
It is! Usually anything over 800 is pretty good. So over 1000 and not using a micro coils is really good. Some brands have a micro coil unit as well and then they can say the have 2-3000 coils but the micro coils are not the same as a support coil so I don't really like that especially when they are not breaking it down and saying most of them are micro coils. Thanks for watching Jon
Mattress Insiders yep very true
also I've noticed that some hybrids have different size coils between 6-8 inches, so do you think that a taller coil is better?
Ross, Purple Mattress didn't work out for me and I'm considering Wink Bed and Avocado. I'm pretty torn between and am sure if they Avocado is better quality to justify the price. Wink uses Micro Coils and supports coils whereas Avocado uses longer support coils. Which one will hold their tension better over time? I'm 260 and mostly concerned about dips and losing straight alignment while sleeping.
what did u end up getting?
I ordered the Avocado, waiting for it to get produced and arrive. Looking forward to see how it works.
Evan250 Okay bro legit. Mine now is between avocado, loom and leaf, or saatva one
Alen Akopyan hey Mann what did you end up getting and how's the comfort so far?? I'm looking to purchase one of those options as well
nothing dude i am waiting to move out before i get it but probabbly loom and leaf firm
compared to the Oceano Mattress?
Hey Kevin, Both are built very well and use the quantum coil. Both hand tufted as well. This is more comparable though to the Brentwood Cedar since that also uses latex. The oceano has a bit more of a memory foam feel. I can elaborate if you want to email me info@mattressinsiders.com Thanks!
Do you have any reviews on the Avocado Mattress without the pillowtop?
I'm sorry I don't. You can certainly expect it to be firmer but that's about I can say! Sorry!
i have the pillow top and it so hard too.. so sad i wish this could have worked out
How soft is this.
Avocado mattress or Winkbed mattress, 250 lbs 6 ft tall here
Oscar Perez ho oscar! Both are very well built. The avocado 🥑 will be provide a more natural build. I feel like they are similar with quality but the avocado will be a tad firmer and offers the natural components. How do you usually sleep?
Is this flexible enough for an adjustable base?
Ben Boyerinas I have this still. I'll try to throw it on my base and check tomorrow.
Ben Boyerinas it will def bend some but not it you were looking to sit straight up. If you want to elevate the head a little or feet it will be fine. I've experimented with many of my innersprings at my store.
Thanks for the response. Yeah, I want to use the base to raise the head up a bit to deal with acid reflux issues. So it sounds like this should work then? And thanks for the thorough reviews!
DOES IT COME IN ANY OTHER COLORS BESIDES GREEN ? LIKE BLUE OR RED ?
I have cats - is this mattress easy to clean should one of them, heaven forbid, pee on it?
Hi Sally, I recommend always using a mattress protector. Almost any company will not warranty the mattress with stains of any kind, sweat, water, pee etc. That's why most stores try to sell you a protector too. It'll help keep the mattress fresh and protect your warranty.
Hybrid latex innerspring VM all latex ?Can not decide ? Price is not a concern as I need a goods night sleep Tony
