Firmness

Firmness defines how soft or hard a mattress can be. This is a very subjective matter. A particular bed may be soft to one and firm to the other. It depends on personal choice, body weight, and type. Whether soft or firm, a mattress should support body weight, promote healthy spine alignment, and ensure comfortable and restful sleeping.

Avocado Latex is the firmest in the Avocado brand. It rates 7.5 on the firmness scale out of 10. The mattress is made of 9 inches of organic certified Dunlop latex from company-owned farms in India. Unlike Avocado Green, Avocado Latex does not have pocketed coils in the support core; instead, is made of all-latex foam. The naturally firm latex core supports hips and shoulders to be correctly aligned with one another, thus preventing lower back pain. The mattress is suitable for back sleepers, stomach sleepers, and also combination sleepers. For side sleepers, the firmness is a bit too hard to put enormous pressure on the hips and shoulders.

Material & Construction

The Avocado Latex Mattress is made using organic materials. The company uses 100% FSC certified Dunlop latex which is eco-friendlier and more durable than Talalay latex. The mattress is made of three layers of seamless organic latex – 2 inches Contoured Latex in the top comfort layer, 3 inches in the middle, and 4 inches at the base. Avocado Latex does not use blended or synthetic latex, and the layers are bound using needles, not chemical adhesives. These three layers are encased in a cotton cover that is 100% organic and stretchable. Organic wool is tufted into the cover, making the mattress bouncy and soft. The mattress weighs between 93-185 pounds, thus is heavy to move around. To facilitate rotating the mattress hassle-free, the mattress comes with two vertical upholstered handles on both sides.

The different layers of the Avocado Latex are detailed below:

• Layer 1: The top layer is moisture-wicking organic cotton, and the organic wool layer makes the mattress breathable. The organic wool also acts as a natural fire retardant. The top layer adds a little bounce to the mattress and gentle support.
• Layer 2: This is a layer of 2 inches thick latex rubber foam arranged in zig-zag waves. The convoluted nature of the latex creates three targeted zone to cradle the body and relieve pressure points. Lasers are used to cut the top foam of the mattress into concave peaks along the top layer bottom. The zig-zag waves are 1 inch apart in the middle, whereas 2 inches apart at the ends. This inhibits motion transfer and also helps to keep the spine alignment perfect.
• Layer 3: This is the 3 inches thick organic latex layer makes the mattress resilient and durable and helps in temperature control.
• Layer 4: This is a 4 inches thick layer of organic latex giving the mattress overall stability and firmness.

Repositioning

Repositioning describes the ability to change positions easily while sleeping. All-latex mattress is generally bouncy but the wavy convoluted latex in the Avocado Latex dampens the responsive foam layers and reduces motion transfer. Thus, the mattress has the right amount of bounce and response. The responsiveness of the mattress makes it a great bed for sex.

Comfort, Back Support, Pressure Relief

Buying a mattress can be difficult as there is a variety of them available in the market. The right mattress will give you relief from pain upon waking up. So, pain relief is vital for most people looking to buy a new mattress. Back pain can only be relieved when the spine is relaxed.

The Avocado Latex with its thick, high-density convoluted latex ensures to contour the natural curves of your body and offers pressure-point relief. The convoluted latex is cut into concave peaks that create targeted zones that keep your spine aligned and reduce pressure from hips and shoulders. The mattress undergoes rigorous testing by the American Chiropractic Association. Sleeping on the Avocado Latex will give you a feeling of sleeping on the mattress rather than sinking in it.

The suitability of the mattress for different sleeping positions is detailed below:

• Back sleepers: Back sleepers need support under their spine and neck to sleep correctly. The targeted zoned support of the Avocado Latex offers solid support to back sleepers where they need it the most. The convoluted Dunlop Latex cut in a zig-zag shape offers targeted support that promotes spine alignment. The firmness is good for back sleepers as they get the much-needed lumbar support that prevents the lower back from sinking into the mattress. Sleepers above 130 pounds found the firmness appreciable thus allowing them to sleep comfortably. However, back sleepers below 130 pounds will need a softer mattress.
• Side Sleepers: Side sleepers put the majority of their weights on their hips and shoulders. Side sleepers above 230 pounds enjoyed the support of the Avocado Latex. However, side sleepers below 230 pounds will find the mattress too firm to sleep on comfortably.
• Stomach sleepers: Stomach sleepers need a firm mattress that would enable them to keep their hips elevated to prevent sinkage. The firmness of the Avocado Latex makes stomach sleepers enjoy the mattress by providing them adequate support and reducing pressure buildup in the lumbar region. Stomach sleepers above 130 pounds will get decent cushion and support.
• Heavy sleepers: Heavy sleepers need a firm mattress for restful sleep. Heavy sleepers above 230 pounds are recommended to buy a firmer mattress. The thickness of only 9-inch latex may not be durable enough for heavy sleepers in the long run.

Cooling & Temperature Control

The most critical ambiance determining the quality and duration of the body’s recovery during sleep is a substantial decrease in the core body temperature. Avocado Latex uses breathable materials like organic latex, organic wool, and organic cotton that help air to circulate in the interior of the mattress, thus regulating temperature quite well. Dunlop latex is cooler than memory foam. The organic wool is not only comfortable but is also cool and wicks away moisture keeping you fresh all night. It is breathable, odor-resistant, and has thermos-regulation properties i.e. keeps you warm and cool when needed. Wool is also naturally fire-resistant and antimicrobial thus prevents from dust mites.

Motion Isolation and Sharing a Bed

Motion isolation describes if movement made across one side of the mattress is felt elsewhere on the mattress or not. A mattress with good motion isolation will neutralize activity made on one side of the bed, thus assisting partners in sleeping peacefully.

Latex mattresses are generally not good at isolating motion, but Avocado Latex is constructed such that it inhibits motion transfer. Convoluted latex cut into zig-zag waves absorbs and reduces motion transfer substantially.

Edge Support

Edge support defines the support that a mattress can offer around its edges. Edge support helps in stabilizing the perimeter of the mattress. It is essential for couples sharing their bed with partners, as poor performance may disturb their partners while getting in and out of bed, and limit using the full bed for sleeping together and while having sex.

The Avocado Latex offers decent edge support. The three latex layers make it a comfortable and supportive bed. The strong perimeter support allows to use the bed fully and also facilitates getting in and out of bed. Sitting or lying near the edges will be supported without the fear of falling or rolling off.

Recommendation based on sleeping style

Sleeping peacefully at night is as essential as eating good and nutritious food. Sleeping peacefully helps in maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Each one of us sleeps differently, and our needs for comfort and support are also very different and unique. The U.S. Center for Disease Control claims that 1 out of 3 people has insomnia leading to various health problems. The

Below is a detailed description of how Avocado Latex is a good fit for different sleep positions.

• Side Sleepers: Side sleepers prefer a mattress that allows their hips and shoulders to sink in just the right amount, thereby reducing pressure buildup. The mattress, being on the firmer side, may not be the best option for side sleepers. However, side sleepers weighing above 230 pounds may find the desired comfort from the Avocado Latex mattress.
• Back Sleepers: Back sleepers need to look for a mattress that supports their back and spine. Back sleepers weighing between 130-230 pounds will find the Avocado Latex well suited to their needs. Firmness and targeted zones of the latex offer back sleepers with the required support and pressure relief.
• Stomach Sleepers: Stability and support are essential for stomach sleepers not to cause back or hip pain, thus they need firmer mattresses. The Avocado Latex will give stomach sleepers between 130-230 pounds good comfort. The support from the convoluted latex relieves pressure points at the hips, back, and shoulders of stomach sleepers.
• Combination Sleepers-Those who alternate between various positions: Combination sleepers tend to change positions while sleeping. Combination sleepers will enjoy sleeping on the Avocado Latex as both comfort and support will be provided by the three latex layers. The organic cotton and wool further aid in the comfort of combination sleepers who can easily change positions while sleeping.
