HANDCRAFTING MATTRESSES SINCE 1987 IN LOS ANGELES

In 2016, Mark Abrials, Jeff D'Andrea, Dan D'Andrea, and Jay Decker set out to do something the mattress industry said couldn't be done at scale — build a genuinely certified organic mattress that mainstream consumers could afford and trust. What they found instead was an industry built on unverifiable claims, self-applied labels, and greenwashing that looked like transparency until you asked for a license number. Most people had no idea what was in their mattresses. Most brands were counting on that. So they built the organic mattress they couldn't find.

But the ambition wasn't just to make a better mattress. It was to change what people sleep on — to make certified organic the expectation, not the exception. To connect the person in the bedroom to the farmer in the field, the factory worker in Los Angeles, and the ecosystems their purchase either protects or doesn't.

To prove that what's better for you and what's better for the planet are not competing priorities. They are the same priority, measured at different points along the same supply chain. In 2018, Avocado merged with Brentwood Home, founded by the Nguyen family, handcrafting mattresses in Los Angeles since 1987. Vy Nguyen, second-generation owner, became CEO of Avocado Green Brands. The manufacturing heritage and the mission finally had the same address.

OUR BRAND MISSION: ORGANIC, SAFE, & RESPONSIBLE

Avocado mattresses are designed in Hoboken and handmade in our GOTS-certified factory in Fullerton, California, with domestic and imported certified organic materials. Every mattress holds GOTS finished-product certification — independently audited from farm through manufacturing, not just the materials inside it. Our mission is to be the most trusted source for certified organic mattresses, pillows, and bedding at accessible prices — while holding ourselves to verified environmental, ethical, and social standards across our entire supply chain.

“We built Avocado because we couldn’t find a mattress that was truly certified organic and backed by real transparency.” — Mark Abrials, Co-Founder & Chief Marketing and Sustainability Officer

“My family immigrated here in 1981 and opened our California factory in 1987. I took over in 2005 to expand that legacy: making health-conscious, handcrafted products. A mattress is the most intimate thing you own—human health and environmental health are the same goal, measured along one supply chain.” — Vy Nguyen, CEO

OUR MISSION: TO RAISE THE BAR FOR SUSTAINABILITY

We are a Certified B Corporation with an Impact Score of 113.9 — "Best for the World" recognition and nearly double the 80-point certification threshold. We are Climate Label Certified for five consecutive years, with a verified 48% reduction in absolute greenhouse gas emissions since 2021. We donate 1% of mattress revenue to vetted environmental nonprofits through 1% for the Planet — more than $12 million certified since 2017. Our Fullerton facility achieved an 88% landfill diversion rate in 2025, validated by UL Solutions — the only mattress and bedding company to hold this certification. Every year, we publish what we have not yet solved alongside what we have — because accountability without honesty is just marketing.
 

"When you walk the farms in the Himalayan foothills and meet the shepherd families who've tended these sheep for generations, 'organic' isn't just a label on a tag—it's the line between clean soil, pure water, and breathable air for their children, or the alternative filled with pesticides we refuse to accept. At Avocado, our commitments stem from a simple truth: the standard that safeguards your family's health is the very same one that protects the planet and the people we've built long-term relationships with. That's the heritage we're honoring and the impact we're building, one traceable mattress at a time." —  George Mathew, VP of Sourcing & Certifications

WE WILL BE RESPONSIBLE

Responsibility is not a policy. It is what you do when no one is requiring you to.

During COVID-19, our team produced more than 300,000 facemasks for frontline workers using materials from our factory floor. When the January 2025 wildfires displaced thousands of Los Angeles families, we launched a relief program within two days — donating mattresses to 486 families and extending employee-price discounts on $888K in additional purchases. In 2025, approximately 97.3% of eligible returned mattresses were donated to nonprofit partners rather than sent to landfills — reaching emergency shelters, veteran housing programs, refugee services, and addiction recovery centers through a network of more than 2,000 nonprofit organizations nationwide.

Since 2017, we have directed more than $12 million in certified environmental giving to 60+ nonprofit partners through 1% for the Planet — applied to every mattress sold, measured against revenue, not profits. Combined with in-kind donations, our total giving has typically exceeded 2% of annual revenue. These are not initiatives we announce in advance. They are decisions we make when the moment arrives. That is what responsible looks like in practice.

 

COMFORT FIRST

AUTHENTIC

THE AWARD-WINNING ORGANIC MATTRESS THAT ACTUALLY SLEEPS BETTER

The reason we replaced polyurethane foam with certified organic latex wasn't just certification — it was performance and comfort. Organic latex responds immediately and returns to its original shape, providing pressure relief without the heat retention or gradual compression of synthetic foam. It doesn't trap body heat. It doesn't off-gas. And it outlasts the material it replaced by decades, which is why our mattresses carry a warranty of up to 25 years.

Certified organic wool regulates temperature and wicks moisture naturally, keeping you cooler in summer and warmer in winter without synthetic cooling gels or treatments. Our individually encased coils, manufactured in-house using recycled steel, provide zoned support for healthy spinal alignment with airflow built into the structure.

This isn’t just better for the planet — it’s why our mattresses sleep cooler, support your body better, and last longer.

ORGANIC BEGINS AT THE FARM AND IN THE FIELDS, AND ENDS IN YOUR BEDROOM.

The same certified organic standards that protect the person sleeping on our mattresses protect the farmers who grow our cotton, the tappers who harvest our latex, and the communities around the land our supply chain touches. Organic certification draws a line in the field, keeping synthetic pesticides out of soil, waterways, and the product that ends up in your bedroom. That line runs from the Himalayan foothills, where our wool is sourced, to the rubber plantations in Guatemala and India, where our latex begins, to the certified organic cotton farms across Turkey, India, Canada, and North Carolina, to the hands of the bedmakers in our Fullerton factory who build every mattress.
 

OUR STANDARD

Certified organic isn't a marketing claim. It's our standard. More than 1 million customers have trusted Avocado to bring something better into their bedrooms — for a healthier place to rest, and a more responsible way to live. What's better for you and what's better for the planet are not competing priorities. They are the same priority, measured at different points along the same supply chain.

 

Frequently Asked Questions

Avocado Green Mattress was cofounded by Jeff D'Andrea, Dan D'Andrea, Jay Decker, and Mark Abrials. The brand launched in 2016 after the founders set out to find a genuinely certified organic mattress at an accessible price — and found greenwashing and unverifiable claims instead. That experience shaped the brand's commitment to independent certification, public verification, and radical transparency about materials and manufacturing.
The Avocado brand launched in 2016. In 2018, Avocado completed a merger with Brentwood Home — a Los Angeles mattress manufacturer that has been handcrafting mattresses since 1987 — forming Avocado Green Brands. The Los Angeles facility that makes every Avocado mattress today has been operating continuously since 1987. The organic certification standards that govern it came with the merger and the adoption of Avocado's standards — and have been independently audited and renewed every year since.
Avocado's corporate offices and original Experience Center are in Hoboken, New Jersey. Every Avocado mattress is handmade in our GOTS-certified facility in Fullerton, California. Foundations, accessories, and the City Bed line are manufactured at our directly operated facility in Tecate, Baja California. Most of our furniture is crafted in our Los Angeles woodshop. Avocado also operates 14 owned retail stores nationwide.
Avocado Green Mattress is owned by Avocado Green Brands — a privately held company formed in 2018 when Avocado Mattress merged with Brentwood Home. Vy Nguyen is the CEO. Mark Abrials, one of the original cofounders, serves as Chief Marketing and Sustainability Officer. Avocado Green Brands owns and directly operates both of Avocado's manufacturing facilities and a growing portfolio of aligned brands.
The Los Angeles facility that handcrafts every Avocado mattress has been making mattresses since 1987 — originally as Brentwood Home. The Avocado brand launched in 2016 and merged with Brentwood Home in 2018. That gives our manufacturing operation over 35 years of craft heritage — hand needle-tufting, in-house coil manufacturing, and traditional bedmaking techniques — now operating under GOTS finished-product certification and the full Avocado organic standard.
Yes. Avocado has been a Certified B Corporation since 2014, with a current Impact Score of 113.9 — "Best for the World" recognition and nearly double the 80-point certification threshold. The average score for certified B Corps is approximately 96. B Corp certification verifies that a business meets rigorous standards for social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency — independently audited, not self-reported. Avocado is scheduled to begin recertification under B Lab's updated Standards V2.1 in 2026.
Since 2017, Avocado has directed more than $12 million in certified environmental giving to 60+ nonprofit partners through its 1% for the Planet membership. The 1% commitment applies to every mattress sold — measured against revenue, not profits, which is a fundamentally larger baseline than the approximately 1% of pre-tax profits that represents average U.S. corporate charitable giving. Combined with in-kind mattress and pillow donations, Avocado's total giving has typically exceeded 2% of annual revenue. Avocado is a 1% for the Planet Pinnacle Award winner.
Avocado holds five independent finished-product certifications simultaneously across every mattress in its lineup: GOTS, OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 Class I, MADE SAFE®, EWG Verified®, and GREENGUARD Gold. No other mattress brand holds this combination. Every mattress is handmade in our own GOTS-certified Los Angeles facility — not contracted to a third-party manufacturer. Every claim is independently audited, annually renewed, and publicly verifiable. Avocado does not sell a certified option alongside a conventional line — every model, every configuration, every size is held to the same standard. And we publish an annual Impact Report that includes what we have not yet solved alongside what we have.
Avocado has been a Certified B Corporation since 2014 — a designation that requires verified social and environmental performance across operations, supply chain, and governance. Its B Corp Impact Score of 113.9 places it in "Best for the World" recognition. It is Climate Label Certified for five consecutive years with a verified 48% emissions reduction since 2021. It has donated more than $12 million to environmental nonprofits since 2017. Its manufacturing facilities are GOTS certified, covering labor conditions alongside material standards. And across more than 44,000 verified customer reviews, Avocado holds an average rating of 4.6 out of 5 stars.
Yes. Avocado publishes an annual Impact Report covering verified emissions data, certification status, supply chain sourcing, workforce metrics, environmental giving, and end-of-life product outcomes. The report aligns with GRI Standards and includes a GRI Content Index for stakeholders evaluating the disclosure against standardized frameworks. Uniquely, the report includes a closing section written by a cofounder that names what Avocado has not yet solved — because a sustainability report that only accounts for progress is not an honest accounting. The 2025 Impact Report is available at avocadogreenmattress.com/pages/impact-report.
Avocado holds more than a dozen independent certifications across three categories. Finished-product certifications — verifying the mattress as it arrives in your home — include GOTS (CU863637), OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 Class I (24.HUS.86422), MADE SAFE®, EWG Verified®, and GREENGUARD Gold. Material and supply-chain certifications include GOLS, FSC, RWS, RDS, OEKO-TEX® MADE IN GREEN, and Fairtrade. Company and mission certifications include Climate Label, B Corp, and 1% for the Planet. Every certification is independently audited, annually renewed, and publicly verifiable.
Every Avocado mattress is handmade in Fullerton, California, using certified organic materials, both domestic and imported. Our organic cotton is sourced from certified farms across the U.S., Turkey, India, and Canada. Our organic latex comes from GOLS-certified plantations in Guatemala, India, and Asia. Our organic wool is sourced from our certified flocks in the Himalayan foothills of northern India. All materials are independently certified regardless of origin — every supply chain partner operates under the same GOTS-verified standards as our California facility. Most of our furniture is also crafted in our Los Angeles woodshop.
