Avocado Luxury Organic Mattress Review: 4.5 Stars

Before testing the Avocado Luxury Organic Mattress, I was already a big fan of organic picks. In fact, the lack of toxic chemicals, sustainable construction, temperature regulation, and longer-lasting life make them the only type of mattress that I keep in my home year-round. Despite the benefits, not all organic mattresses (least of all hybrid organic mattresses) are as comfortable as this one.

Since 2021, I’ve tested about 30 mattresses, including organic mattresses like the Saatva Zenhaven Latex Mattress, and the mattress that I sleep on when I’m not testing − the PlushBeds Botanical Bliss Organic Mattress. I was familiar with the Avocado brand prior to testing the Luxury Organic Mattress, having reviewed the Avocado Green Mattress in 2023. Avocado mattresses are known for being on the firmer side due to their hybrid organic design, but that wasn’t the case with this one. I tested the Plush option for a month and found the surface to be luxuriously cozy and soft, with enough support to allow me to sleep in any position. Although the edge support wasn’t as great, at least the mattress was breathable, and the motion isolation was fairly good.

That’s not to say that the Avocado Luxury Organic Mattress is perfect. The price tag is hefty, as is the shipping fee, but comfort-wise, it should definitely be considered one of the best mattresses.

The Avocado Luxury Organic Mattress − Delivery, Unboxing and Setup

A king-sized plush option of the Avocado Luxury Organic Mattress made with bedding. — Due to the Avocado Luxury Organic Mattress’ height, you’ll need to order a comforter or quilt that’s a size larger to ensure it covers all sides of the mattress.

Avocado only offers white-glove delivery for the Avocado Luxury Organic Mattress (with the option of old mattress removal), and it costs a significant fee of $249-$379. This surprised me since most luxury mattress brands and premium-priced mattresses, like the PlushBeds Botanic Bliss Organic Mattress, come with a free white glove delivery service.

Although I’ve tested an Avocado mattress in the past, it was shipped in a box to me, so this was my first time experiencing in-home delivery with this sleep brand. Unfortunately, the experience was among the worst that I’ve had.

The delivery company contacted me within a week of ordering to schedule the delivery, and they arrived on time. However, they only sent one person to move the King-sized plush mattress into my house, which would have been impossible for any one person to achieve. The delivery driver left, and it took 10 days for the company to set up a second delivery date. On that day, they called to tell me my delivery had to be pushed back another day.

Finally, the delivery team arrived with two people the following morning, and my mattress was placed on my bed frame. There were no off-gassing smells, and it was ready to sleep on immediately, since the mattress was already unfurled.

Upon making my bed, I noticed that my King-sized sheets didn’t quite cover the sides of the mattress. Even worse, my King-size comforter couldn’t hide the sheets underneath. I ordered the mattress in a Plush option, which means the mattress is 14 inches tall. Even if I had ordered it without the Plush pillow top, the medium mattress would have been 13.25 inches high, and the sheets would’ve still been visible. Deep-pocket sheets and a comforter that’s one size bigger are necessary.

What It’s Like to Sleep on the Avocado Luxury Organic Mattress

Pressure relief and support: The Avocado Luxury Organic Mattress is without a doubt one of the most comfortable mattresses I’ve ever tested. The surface is cloud-like and soft, while also being supportive of my back and hips. Pressure relief was notable, and I fell asleep quickly on this mattress. If I had to give the plush version of this mattress a rating, I’d say it was a six out of 10 on the firmness scale.

I was able to sleep in all three sleep positions; however, sleeping on my back felt the best, followed by my side, then my stomach. I’m not sure if someone over 200 pounds would get the right amount of support by sleeping on their stomach on the plush version. The medium option is slightly firmer, and would offer more support for stomach and back sleepers.

Thermoregulation: Hybrid mattresses, like the Bear Elite Hybrid, and organic mattresses, like the Saatva Latex Zenhaven, are more breathable than memory foam or foam mattresses. Thankfully, the Avocado Luxury Organic Mattress is both. It offers a more temperature-neutral sleep experience rather than a cooling one such as you might experience with a “cooling” mattress.

My 30-day testing period fell during the height of summer in Texas. I didn’t wake up hot while sleeping on the mattress, but there were some days where I experienced some night sweats around my neck area. I attribute this to living in a historic house that lacks insulation and has an air-conditioning unit that struggles to keep my house cool during weeks when the daytime temperature is 100-106 degrees Fahrenheit and the temperature at night is in the 80s. These night sweats only occurred three times during the hottest nights of July and August during a 30-day testing period.

Overall, I give the Avocado Luxury Organic Mattress top marks for breathability and temperature regulation. I would be curious if the Medium version feels more breathable than the Plush or Ultra Plush, which both have a pillowtop. I’m inclined to think so, but I couldn’t say as I only tested the Plush option.

Motion Isolation: The motion isolation is above average, but not the best I’ve seen. Although I usually sleep alone, I tested the motion isolation with another person in the bed. I didn’t feel them move positions at night, so I was surprised when I ran a test, and the results weren’t as impressive as I initially thought. I placed a wine glass in the center of the mattress and dropped a 15-pound dumbbell 25-, 10-, and 6-inches away. The wine glass stood strong at the 25-inch and 10-inch mark but fell over when I dropped the dumbbell six inches away. From this, I can surmise that the motion isolation capabilities of the mattress perform better when two people sleep further apart.

Edge support: I expected the Avocado Luxury Organic Mattress to have top-notch edge support since it has two layers of innerspring units and reinforced edges. Instead, I found myself slipping off the mattress when I sat on the corners or the foot of the bed. Thankfully, the side edge support was better. When I placed a 15-pound dumbbell on the edge of the bed, it didn’t roll off and only dipped half an inch.

I ran another test that offered a deeper insight. From the floor to the top of the mattress is 26 inches high. When I sat on the side of the mattress, it sank to 20 inches, meaning I dipped about six inches − for reference, I’m 5’5” and 170 lbs. I tested the plush option of this mattress, which means it has a pillowtop. The measurement from the floor to the bottom of the pillowtop is 23 inches. From that, I gather that the mattress does have pretty good side edge support, as my bodyweight sank past the pillowtop only three inches into the main part of the mattress. This was only made more apparent when I slept near the edge of the mattress and felt the pillowtop dip to a point that my body weight didn’t feel supported.

If edge support is of importance to your daily life, I’d recommend the Medium version rather than the Plush or Ultra Plush options of this mattress, as the pillowtop dips considerably.

Weight bearing: I placed a 15-pound dumbbell in the center of the Avocado Luxury Organic Mattress, and it sank half an inch. The surface recovered immediately when I removed the dumbbell. Both of these aspects indicate a supportive mattress.

Materials: It’s hard to believe that the Avocado Luxury Organic Mattress has 17 layers. Most mattresses sport four to six layers.

The medium version of the Avocado Luxury Organic Mattress is 13 inches tall, the plush is 14 inches tall, and the ultra-plush is a whopping 15 inches high. That said, 17 layers is slightly misleading as Avocado counts the cover twice and labels the side panels and borders as layers, which other brands do not.

The mattress has an organic cotton cover with needle tufted rosettes made from organic wool. Beneath the cover is an organic wool layer which sandwiches the third layer of natural Alpaca fiber with a fourth layer of organic wool. Layer five is an organic cotton canvas. Two inches of GOLS-certified organic soft Dunlop natural latex makes up the sixth layer, followed by a GOTS-certified organic blend of cotton, wool, and natural silk. Avocado uses organic cotton canvas for the eighth layer. This top section of the mattress, or layers one through eight, is designed to promote airflow and moisture wicking.

Layer nine is a one-inch micro-coil innerspring unit made up of 960 individually wrapped springs that provide durability and isolate motion. Another blended layer of organic wool, cotton, and silk makes up layer 10, while layer 11 is two inches of soft Dunlop latex. Layer 12 is comprised of eight inches of 2,588 fabric-encased coils arranged in seven ergonomic zones and reinforced around the perimeter for edge support. Below the springs is an organic natural hemp pad for support.

As mentioned, the bottom, side panels, and border are labelled as layers by Avocado. They’re comprised of an organic fabric cover as layer 14, and needle-punched wool for layer 15. Layer 16 is organic cotton jersey that holds the organic latex in place, while layer 17 is an organic blend layer of cotton, wool, and natural silk.

The Plush version of this mattress has a pillowtop with two inches of GOLS-certified organic Dunlop latex, while the ultra plush’s pillowtop is three inches of soft FSC-certified Pure Talalay latex. All versions of this mattress have handles which should only be used to rotate the mattress, not move it.

Price: The Avocado Luxury Organic Mattress’ cheapest option, a Twin XL with a edium feel, is $3,999, while the most expensive option, a Split King with an ultra plush feel, is $11,598. The King mattress with a plush feel that I tested is $7,899. These prices place the Avocado Luxury Organic Mattress into the premium-priced mattress category. Organic latex and organic hybrid latex mattresses are typically more expensive than memory foam or hybrid mattresses with memory foam, so this price range isn’t all that surprising.

That said, it’s disappointing that the price doesn’t include white-glove delivery service, something that’s typically expected for a premium mattress brand. A return fee isn’t all that surprising, but it’s still not ideal for buyers. What’s even more odd is that this mattress only comes with a 25-year limited warranty, when most organic mattresses and mattresses in this price range typically come with a lifetime limited warranty.

Who the Avocado Luxury Organic Mattress Would Suit

The Avocado Luxury Organic Mattress is a good fit for combination sleepers who have a sizeable budget. I’d also suggest it to those who like a temperature-neutral sleep and prefer a toxin-free night of rest.

It comes in three different feels – Medium, Plush, and Ultra Plush – ensuring that you can choose the one that best fits your sleep needs. And trust me, it offers the most comfortable and pressure-relieving sleep experience. The Plush and Ultra Plush options are a better fit for side and back sleepers. Some stomach sleepers will be able to sleep comfortably on the plush pillowtop, though most stomach sleepers should go with the Medium feel.

My Verdict After Sleeping on the Avocado Luxury Organic Mattress 30 Nights

The thick plush pillowtop option for the Avocado Luxury Organic mattress provides comfort and softness. — Here, you can see the thickness of the plush pillowtop option for the Avocado Luxury Organic Mattress.

Sleeping on a Plush-feel Avocado Luxury Organic Mattress for 30 nights resulted in a month of phenomenal and cozy sleep. My body easily relaxed into the soft and cushioned surface, and it didn’t take me long to be swept into a dream state. While I slept most comfortably on my back or side, I felt supported on my stomach too, though I’m inclined to say that the Medium feel would be a better choice for stomach sleepers. I expected this mattress to offer a temperature-neutral sleep, and it delivered on that front.

For a mattress with such a significant price tag, the edge support was lacking along the foot and corners. As for the side edge support, the pillow top on the plush option almost worked against the reinforced steel coils along the sides so that I felt myself dipping and slipping if I slept too near the edge. The motion isolation was above average, though not the best on the market. As long as you’re not sleeping right next to each other, you probably won’t feel your partner move in their sleep.

All in all, I’m glad for the Avocado Luxury Organic Mattress’ comfort, temperature regulation, and above-average motion isolation. It makes the high price tag, white-glove delivery service fee, and 25-year limited warranty a bit easier to swallow.
