Has anyone tried an Avocado mattress?

[Booble]

I'm confused. If the mattress is made from natural latex and organic cotton fibers where does the avocado come in? Or is that the name of the company that you bought it from? Duh, I'm stupid. LOL.
There are a ton of companies that sell latex mattresses. Never heard of Avocado. We bought our SavvyRest about 8 years ago.

In my defense, I live in a locale of avocados.

Soooo.... It's Day 5 with the new mattress and, while it's not everything I hoped for, I'm happy and optimistic for the future. (*I'm used to an adjustable air-filled mattress, so having a non-adjustable mattress takes a little getting used to.)

The first noticeable thing was NO OFF-GASSING ODOR!!! I could bury my face into this mattress right out of the box. Kudos to Avocado for that.

The second noticeable thing is this mattress isn't structured for prolonged sitting in bed (something I had hoped for). On a positive note, the mattress is 7/10 firm, just like Avocado said it would be, and a folded cotton blanket under my butt is all that is needed to be able to sit in bed 3-5 hours without my neck going out of whack.

At 11" in height, it is higher than my old mattress. That's without a pillowtop, since I didn't want a softer mattress.

And it is certainly comfortable. I've been less achy when I woke up the past few days. I'll report back in a month...

It takes a little bit of time to get used to latex mattresses. Once you are used to it a regular memory foam message will feel unusual. Enjoy!

My Sleep On Latex is only about 8-9 inches deep....No pillow top just plain.

Glad it sounds like Avocado is working out!

I'm recall my 1969 water bed. Carted that thing around for ten years at least. Then my roommate's exploded during an abandoned filing operation, flooding a millionaire mansion we'd just rented.

We all went on a ten hour hike. Came back to "the flood" and "the explosion" ...

The only permanent damage was to the cedar- lined closet floors....

its not squishy, and you don't sink into it like memory foam (which I do not like at all).

You mentioned you'd report back in a month — any updates? How has sleep been? Energy levels? Any allergy issues to the material? I'm considering ordering an Avocado mattress topper.
