I'm going on 3 mo w my eco green base mod from Costco. Added a 3" merino wool topper, naturepedic organic pillows. I am sleeping better. Took over month to get use to it after switching from novafoam.
I bought avocado eco green base mattress & added an Etsy ordered merino wool topper. Stuck with all organic. Use shark pole fan on slowest speed. Mattress is more on firm side but seems fine after about 40 nights & counting. Definitely sleeps cooler. Disposed of novafoam 14". I did experience a great few nights sleep in an Ayers hotel in CA that uses a Dream Sleeper II specifically made for Ayers. Had Ayers in name. A+ mattress too!
Yes especially if you live in the Sun Belt area or where you might get high humidity. I just checked my Novaform mattress from Costco & bought the base Avocado mattress. Added a 3" merino wool topper to help with cooling. Working so far at over 2 months use. Check out more on organic mattresses & bedding and how these are appealing with their unique properties. You'll begin to understand the big picture. I discovered merino wool products for hiking as in socks, shirts etc and am convinced of their unique properties for cooling, ventilation. No synthetic substance yet is capable of imitating these all natural organic properties.
I have the original one from several years ago (the ones with the built-in pillowtop that were tufted). Funny it was right before they won the Consumer Reports award and blew up. But I was coming off a horrible experience with a fancier Aireloom mattress that offgassed so bad that after two nights of sleeping on it I ended up with bronchitis for months. Avocado was one of very few brands back then that was more on the natural end (not organic back then, but still using natural materials like wool and cotton). I took a chance and really hit the jackpot. I still LOVE it. I was actually recently considering moving this one to a guest room and buying another to firm it up a little, but my god the prices have gone a bit bananas. The closest model to mine (the green model plus) would now be $4k "on sale" for a king. Geezus. No can do. And it looks like they're desperately trying to move up-market with the newer fancier models, and it makes me wonder what compromises they've made with the original model to convince people to spend even more. And there's literally NO WAY I would buy one of the higher end models-- the highest end model is like $14k hahahahahaha.. IF I could even afford them (I can't) at those prices I'd buy a Vispring or Hastens. So tldr; I love mine but I decided against buying a new one because too much money and because mine is still perfectly fine. But if I needed to, I'd probably go get the Costco version with the thinner latex and buy a Sleep on Latex pad with maybe a thin Holy Lamb wool topper for cooling.
I have the most affordable of the avocado brand mattresses (eco I think?) which was $1200 and worth every penny. Super comfy and fair trade so I’m not sleeping on the backs of child slaves. Is firm in a solid sense but still soft enough to get cozy.
What was your reasoning for doing this instead of buying a latex hybrid mattress? What setup did you end up making? I recently went to the Avacado store. Their cheaper medium bed feels right support wise but not comfort wise. So its a medium mattress, and when I put a medium topper on it, it feels good. Both layers Dunlop latex. I sleep on the next level up mattresses and enjoy the medium there, which is a firm mattress with a soft talalay topper on it. I can't decide between them, so need to go back. But I know there are other similar mattresses out there like Latex Mattress Factory Luxerion Hybrid, Sweetzzz Honey Hybrid. I feel like ultimately I need 4" of latex between me and the springs. Unsure if I should go Hard, Soft, or Medium, Medium. Any tips?
Im thinking about going the layer by layer latex route. Im sort of miffed my Avacado is hav I need body indentation so soon. I thought it was a simple design of pocketed and zoned coils, with latex. Latex shouldnt sag. The coil system seemed to be well engineered. How is it leaving indentations? The wool layer?
I have a very similar deal. Side sleeper that rolls all night and lower back pain. We have an Avocado with no topper (base model I guess) and it’s been good for me. But it’s SO personal. It was firm firm at first but broke in a bit. I actually do really well with the cheaper memory foam matress in a box too. Sleeping on them at BNBs and our spare bedroom when I can’t sleep. The are firm but don’t stress the pressure points.
The Avocado hybrid I had from Costo slept very cool. Maybe the higher end Green will too. Also, bedding is very important. You want everything to be breathable. My current setup is a Winkbed Plus, 1.5" merino wool topper, whisper organics quilted mattress cover, Sleep and Beyond Cotton Percale sheet set, sleep and beyond wool comforter, sleep and beyond percale duvet cover and sleep and beyond Mymerino comforter. It would probably sleep a bit cooler if I remove the whisper organics cover but I wanted some protection for the wool topper since it was pricy. I imagine that setup would sleep extremely cool on an avocado hybrid mattress. The windkbed doesn't exactly sleep warm but I think the avocado was a bit cooler.
European Sleep works in Berkeley sold me the absolute best mattress I’ve had in my life. Lasted 20 years. I replaced it last year and hate my choice. Look into it…
The new one is an Avacado
I am a huge believer in Home of Wool. I went with the Avacado Mattress at first and really regretted it. The springs felt very uneven and flimsy out of the box, despite supposedly being a premium set. Everything I have purchased from Home of Wool has been superb (spent thousand$). Start with one of their wool throw blankets and make sure you can handle the natural scent of wool, and if you dont mind it (or love it as I do) then go all out! The biggest shame is that coming from Bulgaria, covid has skyrocketed the costs due to shipping. Also I am sure tariffs have played a part.
