I was in the market for a mattress recently and kept waking up in the middle of the night, breathing heavily and sweating after having horrible flashbacks to the last time I had to go mattress shopping. There never used to be many vegan mattresses so finding one was like a quest for the holy grail!

I tried to wipe all memory of the last mattress shop from my mind but from what I remember it took about a week to find one that was the right firmness and for the right price. I just remember sitting on bed after bed after bed after b… *snores*… until eventually, we found one online which was both vegan and within our price range.

So, anyway! back to today! I was shopping with my partner for a new mattress and was surprised to find so many options online for vegan and sustainable mattresses that didn’t cost the earth. I wanted to write a post to share with you the company we brought our latest mattress from to inform others out there that you don’t need to go to Ikea, DFS, Bensons for Beds…. (the list goes on) to find the mattress for you, simply log onto your laptop, you could even do it from your bed on your current mattress? mattressception?

I found a company called Avocado Green Mattress who are based in Jersey and who recently launched a new line of mattresses which are vegan since they are made from organic cotton instead of the rest of their products and most other mattresses being sold worldwide which are made from wool.

I might need to note that this is not a paid promotion and I did not receive a discount for the mattress for this post I just really like the mattress.

The advert popped up for Avocado Green Mattresses when I googled Vegan Mattresses so I decided to check them out first as every vegan loves avocados right?! The vegan range offers Twin, Twin XL, Full, Queen, King and Cal King sized mattresses with the option to offer pillow tops and mattress toppers too at an additional cost.

The website is clearly laid out, simplistic with nice imagery, I’ve got to admit I was sold into it straight away. They’re made using GOLS organic certified latex as well as GOTS organic certified cotton with 1,414 pocketed support coils.

You can ‘sleep easy’ knowing that there is no polyurethane foams, polyester or toxic fire retardants used in the mattress at all. The company state that their vegan mattress is ethically the same as their Avocado Green Mattress so to break it down this means:

  • Gree Guard certified by UL Environment
  • Certified non toxic
  • Organic certified latex
  • Organic certified cotton
  • Hand made

The mattress also comes with a 25-year warranty and you can get a one year trial, plus they come Vegans Worldwide recommended as well as PETA approved.

Seriously though this mattress is heavenly, it’s like sleeping on a cloud…but fluffier, its like candyfloss. This might make you think that it’s not rigid or firm but both myself and my partner both like very firm mattresses and this is perfect for us.

Just so you can see another option to make sure I’m not too bias there is another brand called Casper who have a wool-free mattress which is getting some good reviews online and in the vegan groups that I’m part of (yes I joined vegan mattress shopping groups, they exist) Casper recently launched a campaign that promoted their wool-free mattresses, urging their potential customers to “wake up every morning with a vegan.”

I’ll leave you with some pictures of people enjoying their new Avocado Vegan Mattresses, night!
