• Those who sleep on their back or stomach sleepers and need a supportive, firm feel in a bed; the Awara is firm enough to offer ample support and facilitate spinal alignment

Who the Avocado Green Mattress is Best For

Best For…

• Back and stomach sleepers who need support; the Avocado is firm enough to keep the weight of the back distributed evenly and keep the hips elevated properly in stomach sleepers
• Hot sleepers: the Avocado is made with sustainably-farmed wool and cotton, each of which has cooling capabilities
•  Budget shoppers; from the Twin size up to the Queen size, the Avocado Green mattress comes in cheaper than the Awara

May Not be Best For…

• Side sleepers who need a cushiony, soft surface to cradle joints like the hips and shoulders and allow them to sink into the mattress for spinal alignment
• People who want much softer sleep surfaces or are looking for a plush, hotel-like feel
• People who prefer memory foam or a traditional pillow-top mattress; both of these beds are made with all-natural materials that may feel unfamiliar to some sleepers

Deciding Between Awara & Avocado

Firmness / Feel

All mattresses are rated on a firmness scale of 1 through 10. One means the mattress is very soft, and 10 means the mattress is very firm. Side sleepers will want a softer mattress that cushions their hips and shoulders, while stomach and back sleepers prefer a firmer sleep surface that will accommodate their neck, shoulders, back, hips, and legs. Both the Awara and the Avocado Green mattresses are 7 out of 10 on the firmness scale, making them both ideal sleep options for back and stomach sleepers.

Motion Isolation

Motion transfer is when you shift around in bed and the movement travels across the surface of the mattress. If you share your mattress with someone, motion isolation will prevent you from disturbing each other with your movements. Both mattress companies have designed their beds to deliver decent motion isolation, making them both great for couples.

Edge Support

Edge support refers to the level of firmness and support around the perimeter of your mattress. Over time, as we get in and out of bed, the edges may sag unless the mattress has a high level of edge support. The hybrid construction of both mattresses allows them to provide great edge support, so you won’t need to worry about any deterioration along the edges for a very long time.

Pressure Relief 

If you’re tired of waking up with aches and pains, your mattress may be to blame. That is why, when shopping for a new mattress, you’ll want to carefully assess the level of pressure relief it offers. You’ll find that either mattress will address pressure points and relieve pressure on your hips, shoulders, and thighs.

Spine Alignment 

One of the reasons many people develop back problems throughout their life is because their mattress does not deliver proper spinal alignment. If you’re a back or stomach sleeper, you’ll find that either mattress offers great spinal alignment.

Durability 

You want your mattress to retain its structural integrity for as long as possible. Otherwise, it will start to sag and deteriorate, leading to a very poor sleep experience. Awara and Avocado’s natural mattresses are designed to last for a very long time without losing their shape or structure.

Temperature 

Do you tend to sleep hot at night? Rather than blasting the air conditioner or cracking a window, you could invest in a mattress with temperature regulation and cooling properties. If you’re a hot sleeper, the Dunlop latex and pocket coils in both the Awara and Avocado Green mattresses will allow you to stay cool at night.

Awara Mattress Construction

The Awara mattress’s bottom layer is made of thick metal pocket coils that are extremely durable and supportive, and encourage maximum airflow to keep you cool while you sleep. The top layer is made of organic Dunlop latex, which is bouncy and body contouring so as to relieve pressure on your body’s sensitive areas such as the shoulders, thighs, and hips. Finally, the mattress’s cover layer consists of organic cotton and natural wool, two breathable materials that wick away body heat and moisture to ensure you stay refreshed all night long. The mattress stands at approximately 13 inches in height.

Avocado Green Mattress Construction

The base layer of the Avocado Green Mattress is made of Dunlop latex, which supports the overall mattress and provides a solid, durable base. Above that is a thick layer of metal pocket coils that adapt to your body’s curves and support your shoulders, thighs, and hips. The top Dunlop latex layer is completely natural and hypoallergenic, and it contours to your body and promotes healthy spinal alignment. The mattress is covered by an organic cotton cover, and is approximately 13 inches in height.

Sizing & Price Comparisons 

Shipping and Returns for Awara & Avocado

Awara Mattress

Awara offers free delivery to the continental USA. After placing your order, you can expect it to arrive within 2 to 5 business days. Your mattress will be compressed, sealed, and packaged inside a box. However, since it’s made out of latex and metal springs, it’s going to be very heavy. We advise you to have a friend help you lift it and bring it to your bedroom due to the weight. After removing the mattress from its plastic cover and setting it on the foundation, it should expand quickly, and there should be no lingering odor.

For an additional fee, Awara can help set up your new mattress and remove and dispose of your old one.

Awara’s 365-day trial period means that you can try out your mattress for a full calendar year to see if you like it. If you’re unhappy for any reason, you can initiate a return for a full refund. Please keep in mind that most mattresses may have a 30-day break-in period, so it’s advised that you give your new bed approximately one month before considering a return. Awara also offers a lifetime “Forever warranty” that lasts as long as the mattress is in the possession of its original owner.

Avocado Mattress

Avocado ships its mattresses for free to all 50 United States, and since each mattress is made to order, it can take approximately 7 days to ship. You can then expect to receive it within 2 weeks. It will come compressed and rolled into a box, and setup is as simple as unrolling it onto your bed frame. Due to the fact that Avocado only uses natural materials in its mattress construction, there is no off-gassing, and you won’t need to worry about lingering odors.

Customers have the option to pay for setup of the new mattress as well as disposal of the old one. Avocado offers a one-year sleep trial period on its mattresses. If you find that the mattress isn’t to your liking within that period, you can return it for a full refund. Similar to the Awara mattress, it’s recommended that you allow for a 30-day break-in period of your new mattress prior to initiating a return.

Avocado believes in reducing unnecessary waste, so the company has committed to donating returned mattresses to charity or sending them to recycling centers. The mattress also comes with a 25-year warranty, which is more competitive than the industry standard of 10 years.

Our Final Take: Awara vs. Avocado

The Awara and the Avocado organic mattresses are both fine sleep options for back and stomach sleepers, hot sleepers, and couples. If you’re looking to get your mattress much more quickly, and you prefer having a longer warranty period, we advise you to go with the Awara. If you want a more affordable sleep option that is custom-made to order, we recommend the Avocado.
