Giving Your Bed the Upgrade it Needs with Avocado Mattress
In today’s wellness-obsessed world we’ve made great strides in maximizing our health. We eat organic foods, buy sustainable clothes, and only use clean beauty products on our skin… so, why then, are so many of us still sleeping on the same mattresses we’ve had since we moved out of our college dorm rooms?
The average person sleeps one third of their life, and what we sleep on can make all the difference.
Typical mattresses are often filled with synthetic materials, chemical adhesives, polyurethane-based foams, and even toxic flame-retardants which can emit off-gas odors and contribute to unhealthy air quality — impacting both our physical and mental health.
It only makes sense that something we’re spending a huge amount of our life cuddled up on should be made with our health in mind. Avocado Green Mattress knows this and, since its inception in 2015, has been on a mission to bring green sleep to a bed near you. They are one of only three mattress brands in the world to achieve MADE SAFE® certified status and STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX® certifications (which precludes all known and suspected toxins and ensures no harmful substances are present). Additionally, every Avocado product (be it their mattresses, toppers, luxury bedding, or actual furniture), is GREENGUARD Gold Certified, meeting the planet’s most rigorous emissions standards for chemical exposure and pollutants.
Basically, in layman's terms, Avocado Green Mattress is a company that’s environmentally conscious, ethical, and uses sustainable business practices to help safeguard our health and the planet — while also giving us a good night’s sleep. (Win, win!)
All Avocado Green products are designed in New Jersey and handmade in Los Angeles using only organic and non-toxic materials made in their own farms. (Yes, they do have an organic rubber farm and a personal herding collective with free-roaming sheep for their wool and cotton.) Additionally, all practices abide by the Global Organic Textile Standard which ensures a clean and healthy workplace where both product and worker are protected.
With three Experience Centers on the West Coast located in Orange County, Santa Monica, and their newest in La Jolla, each unique showroom offers green sleepers a chance to come hang in a comfortable and welcoming setting that doesn’t feel like a stuffy mattress store. Browse the entire selection of Avocado products while you have a cold brew at their in-house cafe and learn more about the brand’s mission.
We promise, you won’t want to leave… or get out of bed.
And with a bed that’s actually good for you, why not snooze a little longer with Avocado?
