Our Review Pros Avocado offers a certified vegan mattress with highly responsive latex foam feel and numerous organic certifications. There is also an optional pillow-top available. Cons The mattress comes at a high price point and may not be soft enough for most side sleepers. Additionally, it does not offer the best motion isolation.
Avocado stands out among the mattresses we have tested for its sustainable and high-quality latex mattresses. The brand has received various certifications and being carbon-neutral adds to its value. At CNET, we appreciate the Avocado Green Mattress for its hypoallergenic properties and medium-firm construction. However, the use of certified organic wool may not be ideal for vegan customers.
To cater to a wider range of customers, Avocado has introduced a vegan mattress made with certified organic cotton. We have tested this mattress to evaluate its performance.
Initial impressions of the Avocado Vegan mattress
The Avocado Vegan Mattress was delivered in a box with recyclable paper packaging, a more sustainable option compared to traditional plastic packaging. Once unboxed, the mattress quickly expanded to its full shape with minimal off-gassing, thanks to its hybrid design and latex foam construction.
The Avocado Vegan mattress is similar in feel to the Avocado Green mattress and the Eco-Organic mattress, with the key difference being the replacement of certified organic wool with organic cotton in the Vegan mattress.
Avocado Vegan mattress policies
The Avocado Vegan mattress comes with free shipping within the contiguous US, and a 365-night trial period, the longest we have seen for online mattresses. Returns are accepted after 30 nights with a $99 return fee, and the mattress is backed by a 25-year warranty.
Construction and feel
The Avocado Vegan mattress features pocketed coils for support, organic Talalay latex foam for comfort, and organic cotton in place of wool for a vegan-friendly design. The mattress offers a responsive and buoyant feel typical of latex foam mattresses.
Certifications
The Avocado Vegan mattress holds numerous certifications for its organic materials, making it a sustainable and eco-friendly choice for conscientious consumers.
Firmness and sleeper types
The base model of the Avocado Vegan mattress is quite firm, making it suitable for back, stomach, and some combo sleepers. An optional pillow-top can be added for a softer feel, though it may still not be ideal for side sleepers.
Performance
The Avocado Vegan mattress offers solid edge support and minimal motion transfer, making it a good choice for couples. The firmness of the mattress may not provide enough pressure relief for side sleepers.
In conclusion, the Avocado Vegan mattress is a high-quality, sustainable option for those seeking a vegan mattress with organic materials.
