Pros & Cons

Mattress Construction

The Avocado Eco Organic is 10'' tall. It consists of a cover fabric and two layers of buoyant latex and steel coils combining bounciness and support.

The layers are attached together with hog rings made of recycled steel. There are four handles on all sides of the mattress making it easy to position it on its foundation. 

Cover: A fabric made of 100% organic cotton infused with organic wool. Both material are GOTS certified. They're highly breathable facilitating moisture wicking.

Comfort Layer: 2'' of GOLS certified organic Dunlop latex providing the mattress with bodily-responsive bounciness assisting in mitigating pressure points. The latex has a perforated structure, which enables the passage of air regulating temperature.

Support Layer: 8'' of pocketed coils made of recycled steel. These coils have a reinforced header making them sturdier and more durable. Tempered with side rails, they're also reinforced in the perimeter and in the center third of the mattress providing advanced zoned support. The coils allow air to flow freely cooling the mattress.

Feel

The soft and aerated cotton and wool in the cover give a smooth and cool feel to the mattress' surface. 

Unlike foam mattresses which wrap your body creating a melting-into-the-bed sensation, the Avocado Eco Organic's buoyant latex and the coils lift your body making you feel you're sleeping 'on' the mattress and not 'in' it. The lift you'll experience doesn't come at the expense of comfort. The latex is soft and flexible assisting in soothing the muscles.

Pressure Relief

Lightweight sleepers of all types will find the Avocado Eco Organic to be too firm and not contouring enough. They may experience pressure in different areas in their body — side sleepers in the hips and shoulders, back sleepers in their thoracic and lumbar spine and stomach sleepers in their abdomen and, as a result, in their lumber spine.

Medium weight back sleepers will still need a softer and more pressure relieving mattress. On the contrary, side and stomach sleepers who weigh up to 250 pounds will feel great on the Avocado Eco Organic. The bounciness provided by the supple latex in the comfort layer will prevent the accumulation of pressure.

At the same time, the reinforced coils in the center third of the mattress will provide targeted support for the lower and middle back helping these sleepers maintain proper spinal alignment and avoid pain.

Heavyweight back and side sleepers will benefit from a perfect balance of support and pressure relief. The coils will curb sagging while the bounciness provided by the latex will assist in mitigating pressure points in different areas in their body.

XL stomach sleepers may require firmer mattresses designed for plus-size people to help them maintain good posture by supporting their abdomen area keeping it from over-sinking.

Motion Isolation

A combination of responsive latex and a coil system doesn't make the Avocado Eco Organic the best motion isolating mattress. There aren't any materials which can effectively absorb the kinetic energy generated by sleepers' movements. Having said that, the coils are individually wrapped which limit their capacity for transferring motion.

All in all, your partner's small movements shouldn't cause a problem. However, if you're a light sleeper or/and if the person with whom you spend your nights sleeps restlessly, your sleep quality may be negatively affected.

Repositioning

The wool fibers in the Avocado Eco Organic's cover fabric and the elastic Dunlop latex in the comfort layer make the mattress highly responsive to sleepers' body. Together with the lift generated by the coils, moving on the mattress surface is very easy. This is ideal for couples engaging in intimate activity as they'll be able to change positions without too much effort.

Edge Support

The Avocado Eco Organic doesn't contain foam, so it doesn't tend to sag much. Moreover its coils are reinforced on the perimeter making its edges considerably firmer compared to other hybrid mattresses.

Good edge support enables sleepers to utilize the entire surface of the mattress with no need to move towards a more stable center.

Heat Retention

The Avocado Eco Organic keeps sleepers cool at night and is highly recommended for areas with a hot and humid climate.

The cotton and wool in the cover fabric are highly breathable enabling effective moisture wicking. The perforated structure of the latex increases the mattress breathability and helps draw heat away from sleepers' body. Finally, the pocketed coils enable lots of air to flow in and out of the mattress regulating its temperature.
