NO MEMORY FOAMS
Avocado mattresses do not use memory foams. Memory foams are polyurethane foams with chemicals added to make them slow to respond and are associated with strong chemical odors that can have long-term health risks due to off-gassing. Some memory foams include known carcinogens, like benzene and naphthalene, while others mix latex, soy, green tea, deodorizers and fragrances with their memory foams to make them appear and smell more natural.
An Avocado mattress uses organic materials: certified organic latex, certified organic wool, and certified organic cotton. Better still, it features an internal, zoned, pressure-point support system. The result is the ideal marriage of gentle cushioning and ergonomic support ... in a green mattress that does not contribute to unhealthy indoor air quality.
ORGANIC LATEX
We use GOLS organic certified latex, made from the sap of the Hevea Brasiliensis (rubber) tree, and certified from our manufacturer by the eco-INSTITUT®. And most importantly, it offers gentle, yet firm cushioning that sleeps cool and is durable.
NO DANGEROUS FLAME RETARDANTS
We rely on natural hydrated silica (the same stuff in Tom's of Maine® toothpaste) and GOTS organic certified wool as flame retardants, which ensures that we meet and exceed all safety standards for flammability without the use of industrial chemicals. This is important. Chemical flame retardants are known to be toxic, persist in our environment, and accumulate in our bodies. Their use is linked to infertility, birth defects, lower IQ scores, behavioral problems in children, as well as liver, kidney, testicular, and breast cancers.
RELYING ON HANDWORK, NOT CHEMICAL GLUES
Our mattresses are button-tufted by hand in order to anchor the layers of our mattresses together without the use of chemical adhesives between our comfort layers of organic cotton ticking, organic wool, and organic latex.
25-YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY
Every Avocado mattress is backed by one of the industry’s best warranties — up to 25 years! The first 10 years offer non-prorated protection (full replacement value and shipping costs), while years 11-25 continue with prorated protection.
