5 Questions You Should Ask Before Buying a New Mattress

Buying a new mattress is kind of like buying a new car: They’re both large purchases that you don’t make often yet use every day, and they both require a bit of research before you find the right match for you.

Luckily, it’s never been easier to find a mattress you love — especially with Avocado Green Mattress. Every step of the way, Avocado makes it easy to understand your best night’s sleep, from personalized mattress and pillow quizzes to all the details that go into making their sustainably made organic mattresses some of the best-rated in America. If a new mattress purchase is keeping you up at night, here are five questions to consider on your search.

The key to finding the most comfortable mattress is understanding how you sleep. Back and stomach sleepers should consider a firmer mattress. The standard Avocado Green Mattress has three inches of GOTS-certified organic Dunlop latex for balanced, not-too-soft support. The Medium adds a two-inch pillow-top in the same material, for upgraded pressure relief that’s ideal for side sleepers, combination sleepers, and back sleepers who want more cushion. Side sleepers and sleepers seeking extra pressure relief can go even plusher: Avocado’s new box-top plush option adds three inches of soft FSC-certified Pure Talalay latex, for six total inches of body-cradling support.

If you do, look for constructions that reduce motion transfer so that someone else’s tossing and turning won’t keep you awake. Avocado Green Mattress has a patent-pending innerspring design of up to 1,379 steel coils, each individually encased in fabric pockets and arranged into seven distinct zones. This best-in-class innerspring unit allows the coils to float independently, for less motion transfer and better weight distribution — and more restful sleep for you both.

Some mattresses have cooling properties that can help keep you from overheating, while some constructions, like memory foam, can actually retain heat. Avocado Green Mattress uses organic natural materials like wool and latex, which offer natural temperature control, promote air circulation, and wick moisture without trapping heat. The ergonomic coils also ensure good airflow through the night. And as part of the brand’s commitment to sustainability, you’ll never find any “cooling chemicals” in Avocado mattresses.

It’s smart to pay attention to mattress materials and VOCs (the chemicals responsible for off-gassing), and Avocado is as committed to health as it is to sustainability — and it has a slew of certifications to prove it. Avocado is the first innerspring mattress in America to meet OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 certification for the entire mattress, and every finished mattress is Greenguard Gold Certified for low emissions and verified formaldehyde-free. The Avocado Green Mattress is also EWG verified and MADE SAFE certified — both of which prohibit harmful substances like flame retardants, fiberglass, and PFAs (aka “forever chemicals”). You can rest assured your sleep will be as comfortable as possible.

At Avocado, every luxurious detail has a purpose. Take the mattress’s distinctive rosettes. Each one is needle-tufted by hand by skilled craftspeople in Los Angeles, who use long steel needles to pull organic cotton ribbons through every mattress layer in up to 24 locations. It’s a time-honored technique, but it’s not just for show: It eliminates the need for chemical adhesives like glue (and comfort and durability). And accessories like the plush mattress topper, made with premium FSC® certified Pure Talalay latex, add a luxury feel to any mattress while providing exceptional pressure-point support.
