Company Overview

Avocado is everything Organic. Their mission is simple. Produce luxurious 100% organic mattresses for an affordable price. Their Mantra: Make Healthy Sleep Accessible and Affordable. Formed in 2015, they launched the Avocado Green mattress in 2016. This California and New Jersey based company set out to achieve a lofty goal – and they nailed it. Not only do they have all of the certifications to prove it, but they went one step further. Avocado owns and controls its entire supply chain. That’s right, the sheep farms that produce the wool, the cotton fields that produce the cotton, the rubber trees in India that produce the latex. They even own the entire California based manufacturing facility (CU863637) which is one of only 5 GOTS and GOLS organic certified production facilities in the US.

Avocado doesn’t stop at organic materials, they have a relentless focus on high quality craftsmanship. In 2018, Avocado merged with Brentwood Home – maker of the award winning Oceano mattress. Brentwood has been hand crafting luxury mattresses from Santa Monica California since 1987. All Avocado mattresses are assembled by hand in this California factory.

Vegan Note: Avocado substitutes Wool for Cotton in all Vegan versions.

The result: A fully organic mattress line with a Vegan option, made by hand at an affordable price.

Avocado ECO Kids Construction & Materials

Avocado ECO Kids Organic mattress in a bedroom setting

The Cover

Avocado starts with an ultra soft 100% certified organic cover.  Cotton is one of the softest, most breathable and most comfortable fabrics available. It’s cool, wicks moisture and, better still, is more sustainable. No polyester is blended in here.  NO glues are used during the assembly process, all cover materials are stitched together, by hand.

Fire Retardant Layer 

The US mandates all mattresses have a fire resistant barrier.  Most companies choose a chemical solvent, but not Avocado.  The Eco Kids has a thin layer of pure wool between the covers and the comfort layer.  As a side benefit, the wool barrier wicks away moisture keeping your little one cool and dry at night.  

Comfort Layer

Avocado uses 100% FSC® certified (C156318) Dunlop latex in every mattress.  Of the two types of latex (Dunlop and Talalay), Dunlop is more eco-conscious as it uses less processing.  As an added benefit, Avocado’s latex is also Rainforest Alliance certified.  All latex is manufactured in facilities owned by Avocado so they can maintain control over the entire process under the close watchful eye of the USDA’s National Organic Program.  Dunlop latex is naturally antimicrobial, cooler than memory foam, requires no adhesives to seam it together, and is more durable than Talalay latex. 

Latex is made from rubber sap.  As a result, it is more responsive than memory foam (which absorbs energy).  Laying on latex, you can feel the material pushing back against you creating a bit of a “bounce”.  For greater cooling, Avocado perforates their latex, increasing air flow throughout the mattress.

The Avocado Eco Kids offers a 1” plush latex for comfort and body contouring.  As with all their latex, it comes perforated for increased air circulation 

Support Layer

Avocado We craft our 6-inch coils with recycled steel in our own facility.  Up to 660 individually pocketed 6 inch coils.  The result: a support system that properly aligns the spine while relieving pressure points for a comfortable night’s rest. 

Tufting

The simple minimalist design of organic cotton, latex and springs does not necessitate tufting.  The design results in no clumping or shifting of materials creating a solid feeling mattress for a deep sleep all night long. 

Does it Sleep Cool?

Yes!  The Avocado ECO Kids has several mechanisms to give your little one a cool and dry comfortable night sleep.  The first step to a cool night sleep starts with a dry night sleep.  Let’s see how Avocado makes this happen.  The first step is the plush cotton fabric that makes the cover.  It is breathable and naturally wicks away moisture.  This is followed by a layer of wool.  Now, normally wool is used to keep us warm in the winter, but this layer is naturally antimicrobial and wool is one of the best wicking materials on earth.  It also promotes airflow through the fibers.  The latex is perforated and channeled allowing for air to flow freely whether we are moving or staying still at night.  Finally, the hybrid has springs which further promote air flow.  The result, a cool dry sleep all night long.    

How About Edge Support?

Very good

Avocado ECO kids offers good edge support.Avocado reinforces the outer edge of the spring support system with thicker coils on every mattress.  This results in a stronger edge support allowing your little one to sleep all the way to the edge with no worry of sliding off.  

One Added Benefit: Latex is ultra responsive meaning it pushes back against them to fill in all the nooks and crannies.  This responsive nature has an added benefit to edge support.  The mattress helps your little one bounce out of bed in the morning!

Avocado ECO Kids Comfort & Feel

Avocado ECO in a bedroom setting

Everyone deserve a safe, toxin-free mattress and a good night’s rest — especially kids.  While it doesn’t always feel like it, kids spend 40-50% of their life in bed.  Avocado crafted the ECO Organic Kids mattress with this in mind. 

The ECO Kids is a multi-sleeper, designed to support side, stomach, back and any combination therein.  First, they are met with the 1” of plush Dunlop latex bringing them in and gives that welcoming cushion.  The latex pushes back ever so slightly but still conforms to their body, filling in all the nooks and crannies.  Latex is more responsive than memory foam so they will feel the push back.  However, the top layer gives some additional cushion so side sleepers can rest easy.

Second, they will not feel the strong coil  core, but they will feel the support it provides, helping to keep spines straight for growing kids.  They should have no problem sleeping on the entire surface of the mattress as the edges are reinforced.  The 1” top cushion layer gives a feeling of sleeping slightly “in” the mattress as opposed to “on-top” of it.

ECO Kids can support kids up to 115 lbs.  Any heavier and you should look more toward popular Avocado ECO.

No matter their sleeping style, you cannot go wrong with this 100% Organic mattress.   

  • On Sandman’s Firmness Scale, we rate the Eco Kids a 7 out of 10.
  • A multi-sleeper, it is designed to support side, back, stomach or any combination therein.   
  • The plush comfort layer provides very little sink, but even so, the superior airflow design and advanced cooling technology will keep you cool and dry all night long.
  • Edge support is very good – minimal side sagging here!

Extra Safety Standards

100 Percent Organic.  Seriously.

How does the Avocado ECO Kids arrive?

The Avocado ECO Kids comes compressed in a box. It’s crazy to think that mattress with powerful springs and dense latex can be compressed, but it can.  And, without sacrificing quality and durability.  Some people ask if compressing the springs will hurt their integrity.  Nothing could be farther from the  truth.  Springs are actually shipped compressed all over the world (to save space).  The springs integrity is damaged if they are pulled excessively or bent out of position.  But, the way Avocado compresses its mattresses, they keep their shape and strength.  The box arrives via FedEx. The latex and the springs combined make the bed definitely on the heavier side.  Most sized will be a 2 man job to move, especially if going up stairs. 

Simply unbox the mattress.  Rest it on the bed frame and remove the plastic wrapping and the bed will decompress before your eyes.  Your child can begin sleeping on the bed and enjoying a restful night sleep that same day.

What is Avocado ECO's Trial Period and Return Policy?

Image of a 10 Year Warranty Seal, gold with black letteringAvocado stands behind their bed so much that they give you 100 nights to try it out.  If for any reason this is not the mattress of your child’s dreams, you can return it for a 100% refund.  Here’s how it works:

  1. The trial begins when you RECEIVE the mattress (the FedEx delivery day).
  2. Your child can sleep on it for 100 nights.  As there can be a slight break-in period, Avocado asks that you not initiate a return during the first 30 days.  
  3. If it’s not the mattress of your child’s dreams, reach out to Avocado via their customer service portal on their website, provide your name and order number and that’s it!  There are no questions asked!
  4. Returns: Avocado coordinates a donation or recycling pickup on a day of your choosing.  They handle everything and there’s nothing you have to do besides letting them know the best pickup date.
  5. Full 100% refunds (no fees!!) are issued within days of the return. 

Avocado doesn’t stop there!

Avocado covers the mattress with a 10 year warranty.  This does not include normal wear and tear, but any manufacturer defects are covered.  If there are impressions greater than 1.5 in, Avocado will replace your mattress for the entire time you own it.
