5/5
Avocado continues to be an industry leader when it comes to producing the most eco-friendly sleeping products possible, all made in Los Angeles, California. The company is fully committed to sustainable production practices, claiming to have been offsetting 100% of their emissions since 2019. Their mattresses are among the “greenest” you’ll find on the market — using the finest, ethically-sourced organic materials, some of which come from Avocado’s own farms and processing facilities. That focus on sustainability makes Avocado a favorite for environmentally-conscious consumers.
Their new Eco Organic Mattress is no exception. It’s a certified organic latex hybrid mattress and that latex, as well as its wool and cotton materials, all meet the Global Organic Textiles Standard (GOTS). The mattress has a bunch of other certifications including MADE SAFE® Non-Toxic and Greenguard Gold. What’s even more remarkable is the mattress’s price: only $999 for a Queen. It’s basically a stripped-down version of the Avocado Green and Organic Luxury Mattress. At 10 inches in height and no pillowtop, it’s not the plushest mattress out there, but it is shockingly high in quality for the price.

METRICS | RATING | DETAILS |
---|---|---|
Odor | GOOD | You can expect a strong smell as this mattress expands out of the box, but as always, it will dissipate soon after you set it up. And since the Eco Organic Mattress is made of completely organic materials, it doesn’t release any of those harmful, chemical smells that the VOCs (volitile organic compounds) that some mattresses contain can cause. |
Durability | GREAT | The quality of construction and the 10-year warranty that Avocado offers on the Eco Organic Mattress tells you that the company is confident it will last for some time. It is a new product so it remains to be seen if customers will experience the mattress lasting that long or even longer. |
Temperature | EXCELLENT | Latex is porous and famously breathes very well. That, combined with the open coil system gives this mattress great airflow to keep you cool while you sleep. |
Sex | GREAT | Simply put, latex hybrids are great for sex. With latex and springs you get excellent contouring without sacrificing the responsiveness that is conducive to well-supported movement. |
Huggability | AVERAGE | The Eco Organic has a 2-inch comfort layer of latex which is very supportive and cradles the body nicely, relieving major pressure points whether you sleep on your side, back or stomach. However, this mattress won’t provide the same level of body conforming and support as hybrids that have thicker, or multiple comfort layers. |
Edge Support | GREAT | With only one comfort layer on top of a coil system, we expected a mattress as pared down as the Eco Organic to be less sturdy around the edges than a multi-layered, thicker hybrid mattress would be. But this one holds up pretty nicely around the perimeter. |
Noise | EXCELLENT | Hybrid mattresses have springs, but the individually-pocketd coil systems that mattresses like the Eco Organic use have significantly reduced the noise they make. The latex comfort layer also does a great deal to keep this mattress quiet when you move around on it. |
Motion Isolation | AVERAGE | While latex offers great conforming it is also surprisingly bouncy, and without a pillow top, motion isolation is not the Eco Organic’s strongest feature. |
Considering the eco-friendliness of the materials that go into it, it’s truly an incredible value
When it comes to firmness, the Eco Organic Mattress is smack dab in the middle of the spectrum. That makes it very flexible when it comes to the types of sleepers it will satisfy. It provides great support for spinal alignment, and relief from pressure points, whether you sleep on your back, stomach or side. Side sleepers especially will get excellent cradling of the shoulders and hips with the latex comfort layer and pocketed coils in this hybrid.
That said, if you’re bigger person (say over 200-230 pounds) that likes to sleep on your back or stomach, you may not get the firmness you need from the Eco Organic.
