I actually think Avocado is not that bad. I tested several a few weeks ago, while at my friends showroom on the west coast. While they are comfy, construction is just ok. They use polypropylene as a scrim and it is glued to the coils and they wrap the coils with polypropylene too. The coils are on a two turn whereas harvest uses three, but the coil diameters are a bit different so no big deal, but the handles are a nice touch. I think Avocado has gradually upped their game recently, but their prices have gone up too. They state that the mattress is organic, but not completely. The mattresses are very comfortable to lie on and the basic green, is reasonably priced as BiB's go. Although when you get to the very plush versions and their new Grand Luxe, you are talking 24k for an Avocado mattress. At that point, I am buying Shifman or ViSpring. The Green with the boxtop jumps up to a 4k mattress (all in King). I think for that, buy the base Green and a 3" Talalay topper. Despite all that, it is a nice feeling mattress and worthy of a showroom floor. They seem to be improving things as they grow and they tell a nice story along the way. I think Birch, Naturepedic, and if you like all latex, Abasan is likely a better choice. If you are comparing the upper middle range Avocado's Royal Pedic is a nice choose too. Avocado is rather strict on their MAP pricing too. My bud does sell quite a bit of them though, so their popularity is rising. That is my two cents.
We have twin and queen mattresses from Avocado. They have a bit of a unique smell occasionally, I think because of the wool, but I don't find it offensive. They are HEAVY though! I also got their twin waterproof mattress protector for one bed and the Naturepedic equivalent for the other, and both of those have worked great for multiple kid related fluids, lol. And just in case you're looking for new pillows to, I switched to a buckwheat hull pillow earlier this year. I love it, and I've heard millet hull ones are even nicer.

We went with the Avocado Latex Hybrid from Costco because we had a latex one from Ikea that we loved but they no longer made when we wanted to upgrade to a king. Love the firmness so far and it’s actually much cooler than any mattress I’ve ever slept on. Very very happy so far!
I spent well over a year learning about and reading about mattresses. i read thousands of reviews, made phone calls, asked questions, and did everything i could do to learn about what is best. my decision was to get AVOCADO. I also got the wooden bed frame. i cannot tell you how great it is. I have ni words for how wonderful it is. I got it 4 years ago exactly. It is just as good today as on day one. Its beyond perfect. I encourage you to go for it.
So, we sat and tried to compose a list of year/make/model/ what went wrong. Not so easy. My spouse is correct it was 6 beds in 14 years to be exact. Memory foam failure is the #1 reason for having to get rid of each bed. Approximately $16k spent. Sealy, Stearns Foster Avocado, Saatva, Tempur Pedic and 1 more (can't recall brand). Within the 1st 18 months there's always the start of the breakdown, like you feel that its not the same, then come the dips that become valleys and turning is no longer easy. All while complaining "another one bites the dust /is this really happening again/ wtf, all that money, its got to last longer than this." We're done. We should have been done years ago. Latex.
We got an avocado mattress and it’s held up nicely for the past five years but I highly recommend giving them a test first, I know everyone is different.
wait that’s interesting you say that…. we have all avocado mattresses and our oldest one has a smell that i can’t describe. it’s not a bad smell but a smell… and i know it is clean bc we have a mattress protector on there. what would you describe yours smelling like😂
I have an avocado and purchased the toppers to soften it up. We love it.
