Avocado Mattress Review

Hybrid mattresses generally offer less motion isolation than all-foam models. However, the Avocado’s five ergonomic zones help to reduce motion transfer, and reviews suggest that the mattress provides greater motion isolation than other latex hybrid models. While a memory foam mattress may better serve those who wake easily, the Avocado’s coil-based support core offers adequate isolation for most individuals.

An Avocado mattress with the pillow-top add-on absorbs significantly more motion than the base model, thanks to its second comfort layer of latex.

No Pillow-Top: 3/5, With Pillow-Top: 4/5

With a higher firmness level, it’s easy to see why some sleepers, particularly those under 130 pounds, felt that the Avocado lacked sufficient pressure-relieving qualities. Other customers, by contrast, praised the model for its ergonomic construction, noting that the mattress’ zoned innerspring core offered exceptional support for pressure points in the shoulders and back.

While the Avocado receives overall average ratings for pressure relief than some other models on the market, experiences seem to depend on the individual’s size and sleep style. Those requiring additional comfort may prefer a body-conforming foam mattress, while the Avocado’s zones might be just right for others.

The extra layer of latex added by the pillow-top allows for a bit more cradling to relieve pressure points, particularly for lighter sleepers and side sleepers.

The Avocado is a great choice for hot sleepers, thanks to its latex comfort layer and its coil-based support layer that allows air to circulate freely. Compared to high-density, body-conforming memory foam, latex does not retain nearly as much body heat, keeping sleepers cool throughout the night.

The Green and Vegan mattress covers also contribute to the Avocado’s standout temperature neutrality. Organic cotton and wool boast moisture-wicking properties, drawing perspiration away from the body while staying fresh. Both options provide natural temperature control and a soft, comfortable sleep surface.

The pillow-top provides another layer of latex, allowing for a bit more sink. As a result, it tends to trap more heat around the body than the base model.

Thanks to latex’s natural density, latex hybrid mattresses tend to provide greater edge support than other models. The Avocado’s reinforced steel perimeter offers strong support from side to side, allowing users to take full advantage of the sleep surface without feelings of “roll-off.”

Notably, heavier sleepers found that the reinforced edges gave them the right amount of support while reducing sinkage and sagging.

The addition of a pillow-top softens the edges a bit, making them less sturdy.

Hybrid mattresses typically provide greater ease of movement than all-foam models, which tend to absorb body weight and restrict motion. The Avocado’s reinforced edge and targeted support core work together to provide excellent ease of movement.

The Avocado contains more than 1,400 independent coils, while latex offers a floating sensation and prevents the sleeper from sinking into the support core.

The Avocado strikes the right balance for couples seeking bounce and edge support without the noise associated with many innerspring models.

With 2 inches of Dunlop latex separating sleepers and the support core, the Avocado muffles squeaks or creaking caused by coils in motion. The resilient comfort layer is durable as well as bouncy, working alongside the zoned coils to provide extra spring. Extra traction and reinforced perimeters mean that couples can take advantage of the entire sleep surface without sinking into the mattress or rolling off.

A pillow-top model will be less suitable for sex due to its weaker edges and increased cradling. That being said, the pillow-top still provides a better than average surface for intimate activities.

Avocado takes pride in offering eco-friendly products made without toxic chemicals. Many mattresses contain chemical flame retardants or petroleum-based polyurethane foams, both of which may cause unpleasant chemical odors. Although almost all mattresses emit some odor, off-gassing may be particularly strong when mattresses are shipped in compressed form.

While the Avocado is shipped compressed, its all-natural materials reduce off-gassing considerably. After unboxing the mattress, customers found that the “new mattress smell” dissipated quickly without becoming oppressive, particularly when opened in a well-ventilated area.
