Organic 11" Hybrid Mattress

We have the Avocado from Costco. I know it has mixed reviews, but it’s been perfect for us! It’s a nice medium firmness that’s comfortable for my husband who sleeps on his side and myself, stomach sleeper. It’s the first mattress I’ve gotten that doesn’t smell at all when you first open it up! We would recommend. It was on a decent Black Friday sale last year too!

Costco avocado is working well for me. I think that’s a good value for your dollar mattress.

I've been curious about latex hybrid for a while and currently Costco Avocado mattress is cheaper than usual (the queen size goes for $999) so I just pulled the trigger!  Latex is supposed to be cooling, supportive, and more durable than foam and that's why I'm looking at it since I'm tired of my current memory foam set up.  I'm really not sure if I'll like it or not but at least with the return policy I can give it a try. 

I recently bought the Avocado mattress at Costco (it's a Costco-specific model) and ended up returning it because it was too soft for me. That experience gave me the push to take a chance on the Sleep on Latex Pure Green mattress in Firm (I had two 3" SoL soft toppers and a Birch latex & wool topper on hand, so I felt confident I could make it softer if I needed to). This bed is my soul mate. I literally daydream about it. I have not slept this well in years - maybe decades. I adore it.

Sure! And definitely same! It's hard because it's so subjective. I loved the Avocado, but it didn't love me back. My kiddo has an Avocado kids mattress and I LOVE it - it's the first time it occurred to me that I actually wanted a firmer mattress. I had been on a 3" soft latex toppers on top of an old innerspring mattress because I started having pain in my hips and I thought it was too firm - trying his was a revelation for me. I had no idea my body would like firmer better. Anyway, once we got his mattress I loved it so much, I was sure I wanted an Avocado of my own. Long story short, as I said, the one from Costco was too soft - I realized I couldn't fully relax because my muscles were engaged trying to hold my body in line, if that makes sense? Avocado just came out with a true firm, but to your point about budget, it is $$$$$$ and that was a nope for us. Since we'd been using the toppers, we knew we liked the feel of latex, so we decided to go for the SoL. I was working on the "I can always make it softer on top, but can't really make it firmer or add support" principle when we chose the firm instead of the medium. It is quite firm, but again, I ordered the firm, not the medium. I'm curious what that would feel like, but happy with my choice. If I "stand" on my knee on it I can sink in something like 4 inches or so, and I can press it down to the side rail with my hand if I really try, but lying down it feels pretty solid. There's give - it's latex, not concrete, so it's not really like "lying on the bare floor" (people exaggerate). If you like the feel of latex, I'd say to aim firmer and dial in your comfort level as needed with a topper. In fact, the thing that had us pull the trigger on the return of the Avocado was when we were putting away the guest bed after a family visit and we took a breather on that 3" topper on the floor. My husband and I looked at each other and said, "You gotta be kidding me..." He was like, "If this was the answer all along..." 🤣

Oooh... I didn't, but if those were too firm I'd advise caution on these! I don't have personal experience with the Saatvas or the Casper, but everyone says the SoL is crazy firm, so I'd guess it's a fair bit firmer than those. Though a firmer mattress and a plush topper could very well be the way! I do not have first-hand knowledge of it, but I understand the SoL people will offer a hefty discount on toppers and work with you to find your right "sleep system", or mattress/topper combo. It's definitely hard that there's not really a way to test them (though I understand you can return it relatively easily). I watched a lot of YouTube reviews to try to see what it looked like when squished, if that makes sense?? But there's really only 1 guy I found who was showing the firm, so it was still kind of a gamble that just worked out for us. Again, we figured if the topper on the floor was half decent, we probably couldn't go terribly wrong with the actual mattress! 😅 I know it sounds nuts, but if you have access to that topper, maybe you could try it on the floor for 30 minutes or so just to get a baseline?

I'm short but heavy - about 170. My husband is 6'1" and about 215. Definitely try before you buy, if you can! And I've read you should lie on a mattress for at least 30 minutes to get a real sense of how it feels, which is socially awkward, but when I'm dropping that kind of money I'll be awkward all day 😆 Side note: we were talking about our mattress last night and I realized that the thing that's "weird" about it is that we've gotten used to a sort of "down and then rebound up" feeling when getting onto a traditional bed. Ours doesn't really do that - but once you're still and lying on it, it doesn't feel different from a normal mattress, if that makes sense? All this to say, I think that's part of the "lie on it for a long while" advice. Hope this helps!

Yes, we tried the costco avocado and it got soft within 20-25 days. We are not heavy people so that was just too quick. goodluck with your search.
