We’ve all heard the scary statistics about the amount of harmful chemicals in our homes and in the products we use every day. That is why more and more house brands are committed to creating clean and organic products. You can now buy everything from purifying fans for fresh air to bamboo and eucalyptus sheet sets that are ethically sourced. Another item you might want to think twice about is in your bedroom: your mattress.

Most mattresses on the market are made with potentially harmful chemicals and substances such as polyurethane foam and flame retardants. Since the average person spends about 26 years of their life sleeping, it’s worth considering going organic. Many direct-to-consumer retailers quickly jumped on the developing trend, but the first of its kind from Avocado is hands down the most popular. Its tagline of being “America’s Top Rated Certified Organic Mattress” is quite a statement.

Trying one has been on my to-do list for a while and I’m finally spending my nights sleeping on one. While the impressive stats largely speak for themselves, I’m here to share my honest assessment. I have the Avocado Green Mattress With Pillow Top ($2,599-$3,199), the brand’s base model with an added pillow top for softness.

Like most DTC mattress brands, it arrived quickly and in a box. It was easy to open and unpack in less than five minutes. My favorite thing: It didn’t have that weird plastic smell when I opened it. The look and feel of the material impressed me. Made from certified organic wool and cotton, the mattress feels both luxurious and cool.

The wool is the real hero of this mattress; the organic fiber does what other materials cannot. While it’s known for wicking away moisture, making it temperature-regulating (ideal for sweaty sleepers), it’s also antimicrobial and resistant to dust mites. The material acts as a natural fire-resistant layer, which is why you do without the chemicals here.

It immediately felt soft, cozy and above all supportive. I’ve tested many full-foam mattresses, and this one has 1,414 pocketed support coils (part of its impressive stats), and I felt the weight of it right away. The mattress has a bouncy feel when you sit on it, knowing you’re getting support from head to toe.

On a comfort level, this one is a pure winner. The brand describes it as a soft, firm choice ideal for side and combination sleepers. I agree, as I sleep on both my side and back, and I found it to be the perfect amount of soft yet supportive. I like plush choices, so this pillow-top model is what I’d recommend if you like that cloud-like feel, too. Otherwise, if you prefer firmer options, you can opt for the base mattress without.

I tested the Casper and Purple mattresses, and each has its pros and cons for me and the type of sleeper I am. In my opinion, not only was the Avocado mattress one of the more comfortable models I’ve ever slept on, but the organic materials also make it a winner. If you’re someone focused on having an eco-friendly household, this one is worth the splurge. I can’t get over the fact that the price tag is high, but when it comes to sustainability and honest home products, you get the quality you pay more for.

Need more convincing? The brand offers a one-year trial and a 25-year warranty, so you can rest assured that you really love it. Until May 15 you score a free bio pillow when buying a Green, Vegan, Latex or Luxury Organic mattress with the code “FREEPILLOW”.
